Another music giant passes into legend. Ross Halfin says that this album cover of Second Winter by Richard Avedon is one of his favorite music photos, and that Jimmy Page always comments how great the photo is when he sees the cover. RIP John Dawson Winter III (February 23, 1944 – July 16, 2014).
Think about it: A blues guitarist born just a month after Jimmy Page, but born and raised right there, where the music was being played live, by the artists who were living legends in their own time. Johnny Winter got to hear live performances by classic blues artists such as Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Bobby Bland, while Jimmy Page had to learn by listening to them on vinyl.
Listen to Rock Me Baby, from the ironically titled album, Johnny Winter: Still Alive and Well
