The Great Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist of all time. He responded with, I don't know you'll have to go ask Johnny. What a great tribute to Johnny Winter.
There are about a 20 people that have ZERO talent because the Winter brothers got all of it
Those 20 people seem to be in the audience
@@cancaragold6266 Me I'm one
The Winter Bros grew up in Beaumont TX. Being albino, they had to stay in out of the sun, and so took up music. Their dad was a college music professor, I think. Written by JD Loudermilk in 1960-done by Nashville Kids in 64, and as mentioned, Lou Rawls. btw, the bass player is Tommy Shannon from Stevie Ray Vaughan's band. Great reaction, I knew that you would love this cuz you got so much soul in you 👍👍
If you like this you should check out another blues artist called Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood or Little Wing live at the El Macombo or Voodoo Child live one night in Austin or ain’t gonna give up on love , or life without you live at the Capital Theater. Either one you will not be disappointed
The bassist on this song (Tommy Shannon) went on to be the bassist for Stevie Ray Vaughn as part of Double Trouble.
Jay. Funny you should ask "what Black church he grew up in?" The Winter brothers' father would take the boys around to Black churches in east Texas and Louisiana to perform in. The people loved to watch the Winter boys sing and play music. So growing up, the Winter brothers picked up a lot of blues and jazz influences.
The good Lord took their melanin and replaced it with talent and soul!
Fabulous!
I'm glad you pointed out the debt owed to African American blues artists. You are absolutely correct and they did not make money from the music that so many of us have come to enjoy today. Having said that, this particular song was written and recorded in 1960 by John D. Loudermilk, who was white. Regardless of all these issues, I give credit to Johnny and Edgar for taking the blues up a notch. They borrowed from AA artists, and gave credit to them. Johnny worshipped Muddy Waters, wrote a song for him, and ended up playing with him later on. I just feel like you brushed Edgar and Johnny's talent under the rug in your closing commentary. They deserve a bit more credit.
Zepplin stole so much from the blues greats and never paid much...
Bonnie Raitt has a Blues Foundation from which all blues royalties go to the OG’s- thanks to her they got stipends to live on as they should have! Bonnie is a brilliant blues guitarist and singer.
Ya okay,lol part of the woke modern global rederik with the purpose of destabilizing peace
Natural born musical artists....so much talent on one stage ...way ahead of their time...no mistakes ever!!!
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up, but I knew that! Talent is talent no matter what color!
Tobacco Road was written and performed in 1960 by John Loudermilk, and since then has been covered by Nashville Teens, Jackson 5, Edgar & Johnny Winter, Lou Rawls, Eric Burdon & War, and David Lee Roth.
The bass player is Tommy Shannon, who also played for Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The winter boys in top form. Edgar could play about any instrument to perfection.
Thank you for acknowledging the brothers who started it all.
I reckoned you'd enjoy this one. Great reaction! Thanks!!
They might be black, might be white, might be albino, but whatever box you put them into, the Winter brothers were into very bluesy and funky music. My favorite genre: funk/hard core blues. These two brothers were SO talented, with the ability to play almost any musical instrument. So many great blues artists don't get the recognition they deserve because evidently there aren't enough people who are fans of that genre. It's a shame.
Tobacco Road was written in 1960, and was originally recorded by The Nashville Teens. Other notable covers were Lou Rawls in 1964, Eric Burdon & War in 1970, David Lee Roth in 1985.
Both very talented. I enjoy what they produce together but more of Johnny's solo work appeals to my musical likes.
You Tubers like yourself are starting to get the word on this banger of a song. A few months ago there was only one guy I had seen posting it. Now there's like 10. Glad to see you found it also. Love this song. Just subscribed to your channel. By the way if you like the guitar legends get on some Stevie Ray Vaughn stuff. Try "Texas Flood". Some say he's the best ever. Good luck brutha.
@@davisworth5114 Why avoid SRV? Makes no sense to me .
@Brian Meyer So stop watching them.
Check out,jeff healy,se the light on night music
This old white woman loves this music. If you listen to country, Motown, man any kind of music you will hear stories of hardship and overcoming those times. It’s a worldwide human experience. This roots of blues and rock and roll come right out of the south. It can be and is loved and appreciated by all. It’s a common bond between you and me and most everyone else. Thanks for the reaction
i saw The Edgar Winter Group in concert in the 70s & they were Awesome!!!! here in the south, Frankenstein was such a huge hit, even the Black radio stations were playing it all day, every day! it was a huge crossover hit! Johnny Winter is 3 years older than Edgar & they both performed with Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, & Chuck Berry.
I aint even from there, but Texan musicians dont mess around ....ZZ top,Stevie Ray Vaughan, Willie Nelson,Buddy Holly,Janis Joplin, Roy Orbison, Freddie King ,Kris,Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, kenny Rogers,Barry White, Scarface,geto boys,DJ screw, serious talent outta there.
@Brian Meyer inventor of the Chopped and Screwed DJ technique .his incredible record collection was purchased by the university of Houston for research and historical preservation.czcams.com/video/ShoVLv6zL3w/video.html
And that my friend is the Winter Brothers. Major talent.......
I can't wait until our societie gets to the point to where it doesn't matter black or white we just love the quality and the talent. I don't know if we'll ever get there I hope so though. Thanks for your reaction.
Fun fact: here in North Carolina, going from the American Tabacco Factory complex in Durham (of the movie Bull Durham) - where Lucky Strike cigarettes were made - is the old Durham And Southern Railroad right-of-way, now a greenway trail, dubbed the Tobacco Road. On the other side of the factory is railroad tracks that carried 3 other major railroads, and across them is the rail yard and branch to the Liggotte-Meyers tobacco factory complex. And next to them is the R J Reynolds tobacco factory complex. The old Durham & Southern Railroad immediately leaving the American Tobacco factory complex ran right next to Duke University, created on lands donated by the Duke Tobacco family - the old plantation home is still nearby. The one true Tobacco Road.
Side note: the new Durham Bulls baseball stadium, not the old one used in the Kevin Costner movie, is right next to the American Tobacco Factory complex (which has now been converted into a mall and community center), at the head of the Tobacco Road Greenway trail.
Another fun fact: after a 400 year history of tobacco processing, the factories in Durham were conscripted in World War 2 to produce cigarettes issued to every solgier and staff to help ease both the mental and physical pains of war - thus creating a whole generation addicted to smoking.
I told you! Mind blown!
Great review bro, If yu need skattin watch:Beth Hart - Am I The One Live At Paradiso, it will blow your mind!

This song was a true depiction of life, written about Tobacco Road, in Durham, North Carolina. "Tobacco Road" is a blues song written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk, in December 1959 and released in 1960. This song became a hit for The Nashville Teens in 1964 and has since become a standard across several musical genres. The Winter Brothers and band, brought authenticity, dynamic emotion, feeling and Real Soul to this well written song. This performance is historic, meaningful and will never be equaled. This is "Musical Magic" of the finest caliber.
Check out Allman Bro's debut album. The intro song and transition to
Not My Cross To Bare. The best debut song on a debut album ever. Macon Georgia blues.
I just subscribed...I have been watching your reactions and when I saw this one coming up I KNEW you would like this. A few weeks ago there was still only 2 reactions to this on CZcams. I have been requesting ...and finally...Good job !!!!
Oh man, I do love this video. Johnny the blues, Edgar jazz,blues, rock...can't lose
The audience was made to sit and be quiet because filming was different back then.
60 years ago this came out, I was three. My mom use to sing it (and many songs like it) while doing chores around the house. Thank you for the wonderful memory.
The drummer, Uncle John Turner, is from Port Arthur, Texas, home of UGK, Janis Joplin, Jamaal Charles, Stephen Jackson and many more!
This clip is older than 50 years! Johnny sings great too! Check out some of his stuff.
This was recorded in europe. I think the audience may have been dumbfounded.
David O'Beirn I think he was looking for a response commensurate with a great performance. But, this was in Europe and this was something unusual. I think they pretty much sat with their mouths open.
Johnny and Edgar Winter are albinos , Johnny is on guitar and Edgar is on ORGAN and sax and vocals !!! If you want more blues , check out Ten Years After doing HELP ME from the RECORDED LIVE album !!!!!!
Edgar and Johnny Winter are legendary artist.... I was a kid in B'ham jamming off of this and many others of their recordings. Johnny pass away in 2014. RIP! They just jammed be time!
Everyone can identify with the blues. It's a part of being human. If you want to hear one my favourite groovy tunes. Check out Earth Wind and Fire, Fantasy. I don't care if you react to it, want you to hear.
The bass player, Tommy Shannon, went on the play with Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is a cover of a song by the Nashville Teens in 1964.
Both brothers got all the talent!
Jay, love your raw reaction to the Edgar Winter brothers! These guys were absolutely amazing! I love the amazing contribution our Black artists made and continue to make to music! This music really speaks to your soul.
John D. Loudermilk Jr. (March 31, 1934 - September 21, 2016) was
an American singer and songwriter. Although he had his own recording
career during the 1950s and 1960s, he was primarily known as a
songwriter. His best-known songs include "Indian Reservation", a 1971 #1 hit for Paul Revere & the Raiders; "Tobacco Road", a 1964 top 20 hit for the Nashville Teens; "This Little Bird", a UK #6 for Marianne Faithfull in 1965, and "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye", a top ten hit in 1967 for the Casinos and also a #1 country hit for Eddy Arnold the following year.
This is who Wrote Tabaco Road.
Just to give you a brief history of the two Winter brothers. Johnny Winter (Guitarist) at the ripe age of 15 was playing on stage with BB King. He's gone now, but i had the pleasure of seeing him numerous times. He without a doubt is one of the fastest cleanest players I have ever seen...... and I have seen plenty of the greats. He flies effortlessly. You should check out "Sound The Bell" or "Dust My Broom". Think you will be impressed.
Knew of Edgar but never heard this!! Thanks !!!
Thx! “Dying to live.” By Edgar Winter. It’s a life saver!
Down Home Dirty South crawlin through the mud blues.
Yeah Baby.
I appreciate your comments. Black music is America’s greatest gift to the world, IMO! That generation of blues artists learned Everything they knew from the Mississippi Delta masters and Chicago blues artists.
Yeh, I remember this blowing all our minds when it came out. The blackest white dudes you ever meet. I told myself, I have to meet these guys, and I got to speak with Johnny on several occasions.
Love this! Knew you would love it too.❤️🔥
Edgar said in an interview that there was so much music in there household he thought everybody did it
Originally by John Loudermilk in 1959. Loudermilk also wrote Indian Reservation made famous by Paul Revere and The Raiders
This brother is black, He aint white, his skin is just white! :)
Another interesting review, keep it up.
Bass player is Tommy Shannon. Went on to play with with the late great GOAT Stevie ray Vaughn
Many people have covered this blues classic.
Thanks for your honesty, but I feel sad that you seem to have missed out by feeling these guys were “too bright” for this selection of music. The Winters brothers have taken the stage and are respected by some of the greatest names in blues including BB King, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. No one is trying to take anything or any credit away from any of the great black blues artists. These guys didn’t choose to be born albino any more than anyone chooses to the color of the human shell they are in.Music- it’s either good or it’s not. Love and peace ☮️
Intro music is pretty sick and I like the VHS vibe
Tobacco Road was written and recorded in 1960 by John D. Loudermilk.
love it
Edgar and Johnny Winter's album " Roadwork" is fantastic. Hope you can find it !
Someone may have mentioned it already but the song was written by John D. Loudermilk and the rendition that most would know would be Nashville Teens in the mid 60's.
I never got to see Edgar perform but I saw Johnny (on guitar) perform several times.
If you’d like to react to another Blues/jazz/soul artist checkout Nina Simone on the Ed Sullivan Show from the 1950’s. It was the beginning of her career. She sings Love Me or Leave Me, and I Loves You Porgy.
"Tobacco Road" is a blues song written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk in 1960 that was a hit for The Nashville Teens in 1964 and has since become a standard across several musical genres. Originally framed as a folk song, "Tobacco Road" was a semi-autobiographical tale of growing up in Durham, North Carolina. Released on Columbia Records, it was not a hit for Loudermilk, achieving only minor chart success in Australia. Other artists, however, immediately began recording and performing the song.
You know what Jay - you should consider singing a few blues songs - you have the right voice
There was a jam session, where Jimi Hendrix played bass for Johnny Winter.....
The Brothers Winter👏👏🙌🙌🎶‼️. Ridiculously talented🎶‼️. If you haven't seen Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group, do yourself (and us) a favor and check it out. You have never heard anything like it for sure! Great reaction✌️👏🙌
It's not about black or white, it's about music
I suspect as kids they spent a majority of time indoors.
Plenty of time to learn an Instrument. And get DAMN GOOD at it.
So glad to see the younger generation appreciate our " Old School Music". Grew up listening to Johnny and Edgar. They lived in the next town over. Have you checked out ZZ Tops "Sharp Dressed Man " or Beth Harts " Change Gonna Come " ? Enjoy !!!!!!
great reaction to a fab performance. It was way ahead it's time in 1970 I can assure you. Thanks Dr G
Here we go! Que the stank face!
Back when this was recorded, the studio's warned people they were recording and to just "Be There" and not over react or they would throw you out. Producers and Directors didn't want to compete with crowd noise. Most events recorded Live during the early days of recording were done this way if you go back and look. Don't blame the audience, blame 'The Man'...
Yes, white boys can play and sing the blues, Johnny and Edgar from east Texas
One of the winter bros that's edgar and his brother plays guitar they're from East Texas
I love your reaction, man. Hold muh hand and say "FUKC RACISM" loud.
Jamaican white boy.
Just with the 2 brothers alone they were their own band!
One of my favorite songs.....
Edgar is a beast 😎 🎹🎙🎷
He may be white....
but his soul is black !
This is a cover......
John D. Loudermilk ( 1960 )
Wrote & sang this Blues song
FYI: Another white dude ✌😎
This version of this song is def the best version.
Ahh the White Broths true no sun Brothers.
Been known about it since the 60s if you like rock ‘n’ roll music how do you not know Johnny Winter Edgar Winter 9:32
For another great version of this great blues tune check out....
Eric Burdon & War......
Tabacco Road ✌😎
You don't get any whiter than a couple albino brothers. Talented at that. You mean I'm gonna stay this color.
Great rendition - It was first released in 1960 by John Loudermilk - who also wrote it
Those two albino boys were the whitest dudes ever to play the blues. We all know where blues came from. Give credit. But we all get 'em. Without the pictures it's the same color-blue.
Great reaction, I would suggest that you mix the music source at a little higher volume though
Haven't heard this in eons!
Its sounds like a jam session but they are all so tight...
Johnny and Edgar are aliens with white hairs...! A albinos charms...!
Enjoyed everything about this, but, PLEASE, increase the volume of the music. Upped everything on my end to the max and it just ain't enough. Need it louder. You'll get more people coming back.
Representin' Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Dumas, Texas!
This is a great vid, but you should hear the version on Roadwork, with this band. 😉 great track.
John D Loudermilk played it first around '64
I believe the Winters did play in black churches when they were growing up in regional Texas.
Edger played sax on a Tina Turner recording
I saw them live in 71. Be jealous. I would be.
1964 Nashville teens
check it out . there was also a movie called the same
Check out Gary Moore - Red House (Jimi Hendrix Cover) (Fender Stratocaster 50th Anniversary). You will not regret it brother.
You should hear his band White Trash cover Chuck Berry's Back In The U.S.A., it's on their Roadwork album and it will definitely rock your socks off, featuring some seriously kickass guitar work by Rick Derringer
Do a reaction to Edgar's song, "Dying to Live". It'll blown your mind and will drop some tears.
U sound so awesome 😎
And that's how it's done.
