When I listen to the songs you did, it’s as though I can hear and feel Johnny’s spirit and presence in the music. What you brought to this album goes beyond words.

I swear I’ve never heard anyone (other than myself) able to get inside Johnny’s playing the way Joe does. When the session rolled around, he said he was ready, and man, was he! As soon as he started playing, I knew we were home free. “We scheduled the recording for a few weeks later to give Joe a chance to study.

Joe said it would be a real challenge, but one he was up for. “So, I called Joe saying I didn’t know where else to turn, and that he was our last and best hope. I thought Joe Bonamassa did such an incredible job with Johnny’s regular guitar style, I wonder if he could do the same thing with the slide? But I didn’t know of anyone out there who naturally played slide the way Johnny did. “I wanted only guitar, bass, and drums, exactly like Johnny’s original blues trio. “To me, this is one of the most important tracks on the album, and probably the most difficult to replicate the original feel on.” Winter noted. ‘Mean Town Blues’ features Edgar Winter on lead vocals, Joe Bonamassa on slide guitar, Sean Hurley on bass, and Gregg Bissonette on drums.

The release of the song, so close to what would have been Johnny Winter’s 78th birthday on 23 rd February is fitting, as many have declared that ‘Mean Town Blues’ highlights the truest version of his early blues writing and unique slide guitar style. 15.Out now is ‘Mean Town Blues’, the second single from the upcoming album Brother Johnny, an all-star tribute to legendary US guitarist Johnny Winter organised by his brother, singer and multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter.I Done Got over It – Johnny Winter with Muddy Waters & James Cotton Harlem Shuffle – Edgar Winter & Johnny Winter It’s My Own Fault – Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper feat.
