Edgar Winter’s interview with Billboard on the upcoming tribute album for his brother Johnny Winter is one to read! Below is a snapshot from Billboard. You can read the full interview here: FULL INTERVIEW.
Winter says the 16-song set will include a mix of Johnny Winter originals as well as some of his signature covers, such as Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” the Rolling Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” and Rock Derringer’s “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo,” which Johnny Winter recorded first, in 1970.
Guests include Joe Walsh, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibson, Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, Robben Ford, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Bobby Rush, with others to be announced in the future. The as-yet-untitled album will be released by Quarto Valley Records.
“I think I see Johnny in a totally different light than other people do,” Winter says. “He first and foremost loved the blues, but he had a great voice, and in the early years when we were playing together he would sing beautiful ballads like ‘Cryin'” by Roy Orbison in a completely clear, beautiful voice. So I’m going to do some of those songs that are my personal favorites, too.
“I think everybody’s gonna love this album, Johnny’s fans as well as mine.”
We’re so proud and grateful to have worked with Ginger on our latest Cream project and send our best wishes to him and his family. – The QVR Team
