The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters.

Blues and jazz pulled me away from what was left of my family.

In 1940 I came across a record by Jimmy Yancey. I can't say how important that record is. From then on, all I wanted to do was play the blues.

The parallel development in American blues to the British movement has resulted in Johnny Winters.

Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.

Since the age of 12, all my musical thinking has been influenced by Afro-American music.

I'm a compulsive musician, but it's also a bloody good way out of having to do anything else.
