Recorded more than 50 years ago! I've never seen anyone NOT be impressed with it. Two talented brothers killin' it!
Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas
Loved ALL the tracks on this double album.
JOHNNY and EDGAR WINTERS TWO ALBINO BROTHERS BORN IN BEAUMONT, TEXAS....ABOUT 60 MILES EAST OF HOUSTON. LIVED THEIR LIVES IN HOUSTON, TX. JOHNNY...THE GUITARIST DIED IN 2014. BEING ALBINO THEY COULD NOT GO OUT AND PLAY IN THE SUN AS KIDS...SO THEY LEARNED TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS. THEY ARE BOTH IN THE BLUES HALL OF FAME. I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND HAVE BEEN A BIG FAN SINCE WAY BACK. THEY WERE PLAYING IN A BAIT CAMP AT 9 YEARS OF AGE. AND BY THE AGE OF 18 WERE PLAYING ALL THE BLUES CLUBS IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND ALSO IN NEW YORK CITY TOO. TALENTED GUYS TO SAY THE LEAST. OH LOVED YOUR REACTION TOO. BEEN SUGGESTING MANY REACTORS TO REACT TO THIS SONG FOR AWHILE BUT ONLY A FEW HAVE DONE IT. THANKS FOR THE REACTION AGAIN. YOU ARE A KOOL CHICK AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW!!!
Why are you yelling?
Almost everyone I know who does this has vision issues, or corresponds a lot who folks who have such challenges.
Two of the most versatile musicians of their time.
Winter.
Pretty good HS class, with those two and some girl named Janice Joplin
Imagine.. 50 years old. Talent like this doesn't exist today. No one wants to put in all the hard work and practice it takes to become this proficient. Additionally, record companies want simple, mindless "music" to sell to the masses.
Bill Sager ...Amen! We were so lucky to be there when it was all going down 🎶
There is video somewhere on CZcams that explains why the music is what is today, basically a formula to quickly profit talent is secondary. Perhaps capitalism is the best way to create wealth but certainly not the best way to find real talent.
Record companies have always wanted simple mindless music to sell to the masses. They were no better 50 years ago. What has changed is the tastes of the small proportion of the masses that care about music. Talent like this does exist today, but it has a much smaller audience - you have to seek it out rather than expect record companies to deliver it to you. I say this as someone who loves 70s rock music and I've seen Johnny Winter perform live. I've also seen great younger artists, but people are set in their ways and prefer to dwell on the past - they struggle to attract older music fans.
Look up Marcus King this isn't dead.
How I’d have love to see these guys play this for the first time for Simon Cowell. He had to drop dead right then and there. Not used to talent like the Winter brothers these days.
Saw Johnny and Edgar in Baton Rouge back in the early 70's. Cost $2.50 to get in. Times have changed.
Individually they are exceptional, but together the brothers are a force of nature.
Seventies....A GREAT TIME FOR MUSIC. Only Edgar left now.
Derringer is still alive
Jon Smith is still around. ; )
This is both Johnny and Edgar Winter. Two brothers from Texas. As you can see, they are both "Albinos." Very light skin, and very thin Blonde hair. If they are in the sun more than a few minutes, it could be dangerous for them. Johnny is recognized as one of the top 3 guitar players ever, and Edgar is just as talented. He sings, plays saxophone, keyboards, drums etc. I think Johnny is the oldest, and he died a few years ago. These Blues Brothers were so damn good.
Thanks
These albino brothers were my jams growing up. So very talented. Edgar could play just about anything musical. They were talented beyond belief!!!
This is 50 years old we where blessed to be listening to this growing up. Thank goodness this is archived so a younger generation can appreciate their music.
Free form jamming. The bass player is Tommy Shannon who later was part of double trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughn's band. He must have learned about organized chaos from the Winters brother's.
I was one of the fortunate ones who grew up listening to this kind of music .
Rock blues freaks from the 70's. They were musical monsters with passion!
This song changes everyone who llistens to it. I hope that more younger people get into Edgar Winter & Johnny winter.
Welcome again, to the genius world of the Winter brothers.
As a guitarist I always thought Johnny Winter was THE dude... as a young boy I used to look at Johnny's pics and posters and idolise him... but then when you see Edgar Winter on this video you know the man has Blues running through his veins... he slays the sax and keys and when he sings he totally tells you his story, your story, my story... he reminds you you're not a victim... you're a fighter... thank you for sharing this vids... love from Perth, Western Australia...
As I recall, the Winters brothers called their style "Progressive Blues"
The song "Tobacco Road" was written in 1960 by John Loudermilk and became a hit by the group "the Nashville Teens" in 1964.
The song has been covered by numerous bands over the years including
Lou Rawls
Jefferson Airplane
Bobby Gentry
Spooky Tooth
Rare Earth
Eric Burden & War
Roy Clark
David Lee Roth
Rodney Crowell
and dozens of other artists
Tobacco Road has also been translated to several languages including:
Spanish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Italian
Czech
and Hungarian
IMHO i like the Rare Eart version and dislike the David Lee Roth version
I also really dig Eric Burdon and War’s rendition .
Wonder when God will release 2 more souls like these two to show us what the blues really is?
I have always loved how this song shows the push and pull you feel of both love and hate when you come from somewhere difficult. He wants to dynamite it but build something better right there in Tobacco Road. It's not simple....not everyone gets it. "I despise you cause you're filthy but I love you cause you're home."
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. I love watching your reaction and hearing you comment. This performance, clearly stirred your heart and soul (as it should). White or Black, we're all one big family, and those of us, with any sense at all, know that.
The Winter's Brothers are legendary. I've seen Edgar live a few times. Love his growl. This one's a classic.
Some great musical DNA in those guys.
Thanks for playing this. So few You Tubers have played this. But the few who have are all blown away. Edgar's voice is beyond unique in this one. Peace!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackpot pretty girl!!!! Not many people know of this!!!
The first time i ever heard this i i could not believe how great it it was. I still feel chills down my spine when i hear it.
One of the great live performances EVER! Thankyou for your reaction!
I love this version, great stuff! Edgar did a version that was an entire album side on one of his live albums.
BB King said that he was in a Texas blues bar and this woman came in and said that her children wanted to play with him....he then said that the 2 whitest people he ever saw came into the bar and there was pure silence as the black crowd tried to understand what they were looking at.... BB asked if they had artists cards...yes...and he let them play and was blown away
Great story!
Def the best live performance ever. OMG.
It’s amazing to see two brothers having so much musical talent
You must hear Johnny's song Be Careful with a Fool.
Hot dang how have I never heard of this song or these brothers
Omg thank you India this is fabulous 🤩🤩🤩
1st and the best concert I ever saw was Edgar and Johnny Winter.
Please do some more johnny winter! Rock me baby, rock n roll hootchie coo, highway 61 revisited, be careful with a fool
Yes!
1969 West Palm Beach, Florida. Rock & Roll festival roadie working 4th and last rock festival. 3 days show Rolling Stones, headliners closing show. Johnny & Janis Joplin with Vanilla Fudge the backup band, the tune was, "Down on Main". incredible. When Johnny did his show he introduced Edgar to us. Edgar sang the best version of Tobacco Road forever, to me. Edgar played every instrument on stage, his SAX playing was stunning. On stage, Johnny moved like a ghost gliding on stage.
old blues passed up from past generations 😢 the depth and soul means you relate to it and it shows in the performance by Edgar and Johnny Winter, the bad ass albino blues bros.
The level of talent and musical creativity is truly astonishing.
Nothing like some blues for a monday afternoon!! Thanks for checking this out!!
These guys didn't just learn musical styles, they mastered every one.
Saw them in concert in Detroit. They were amazing.
I went to high school with both of them, they are true albino and are blind. Outstanding feeling and great musicians. I played bass on Johnnys’s first record “Flaming Feathers”.
Thank you for doing E. Winter, I heard of him but never heard his music.😍
There is nothing he couldn't play. Amazingly talented both in very different ways
This song STILL blows me away
I listen to this everyday even though never happened to me it makes me feel heartbroken 💔 for anyone to endure this.What’s sad some don’t or can’t take the right path down a forked road
Tobacco Road is East Durham, North Carolina. My father was born on Alston Avenue in East Durham 1922. Durham was tobacco in early 20th century. American Tobacco, Liggett Meyers and other smaller cigarette factories. Lucky Strike, Pall Mall, L&M's. Bull Durham pouch tobacco. My grandmother threaded the gold string in the Bull Durham pouches. Grandfather worked in the warehouse where the tobacco was stored for years before making into cigarettes. After WWI (he was gassed in France) he came back, and pitched baseball for the Durham Ball Club...later to become the Durham Bulls. Duke University in Durham was built with Washington Duke's tobacco money. Alston Avenue has become Haytai, a black historic district. Durham had a vibrant music scene through out the century. R&B, Blues, James Brown and his Fabulous Flames were monthly regulars. Finally saw Edgar & Johnny Winter perform at the Pleasure Island Seafood, Blues and Jazz Festival in Ft. Fisher, NC during a 'Noreaster.on October 11, 2008. Edgar had is own group call 'White Trash' and had several albums. Probably biggest hit was 'Frankenstein'. Want to hear some vocal chords stretching? Edgar could do it. czcams.com/video/RAVnoxYhtLU/video.html Johnny always played the blues scene wherever. Slide guitar. Wish I could post some pics from that performance. I was at the lip of the stage.
So-o-o-o under-appreciated!
We knew how to take you to church back then. Glad you liked it
Johnny & edgar are brother. Johny was one of the best blues blues guitar ;layer in the world. Edgar is still alive & just released a terrific album that is a tribute to johnny. ☮️💟💟💟
My first concert was " WhiteTrash" with Edgar & Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer. Great show!😊✌
The Winter family is originally from Leland Mississippi in the MS Delta. It’s only about 20 miles from BB King’s home of Indianola MS. They did come back and spend time in Leland. (I grew up there )
I worked at Tobacco Road in downtown Miami '82-'86. Best Blues club ever. I also was at the 1968 Super Session concert where Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper introduced Johnny to the world. Unforgettable. How about listening to The 59th St. Bridge Song, Super Session version? Originally done by Simon and Garfunkel.
What talent the Winters had.
This was my brother Danny’s Fav song back in the day! He was taken way too young in ‘66
Edgar was the first musician to put a strap on the keyboard. He didn’t wanna be stuck behind the instrument he brought it out front and center.
Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter are from Beaumont Texas, and Janis Joplin was from 30 miles down the road at Port Arthur Texas. They were influenced very much by the same blues musicians in the area and got their start playing those blues clubs in Southeast Texas.
My dad went to school with the Winters in Beaumont, Texas. Check out The Big Bopper and Chantilly Lace for another alumni.
We had s small business and the Winters brothers mom and Uncle George were frequent customers. They were all very fair and had a bit of albinoism as well
When it comes to the soulful scream Edgars right there with Wilson Pickett, Bobby Womack and the Godfather of Soul JB! BTW, he killed it on that alto.
This class A music!!!!
I love watching reactions to this
I love that you love this.
I like the song, Pissing on my legs and tell me it's raining. Random button pushing, hooting and hollering. Good stuff.
Thank you for doing my request India 😆
( I'm sure it was just one of many for this great performance )
You have to look far & wide to find anyone around today with that kind of talent on multiple instruments !
India t's a early 60's blues cover.... it's not his life story !
Just take it for what it is.... a great blues song ! 🎹😎🎷
BTW: Check out Eric Burdon & War playing Tobacco Road ( live ) !
They also do an amazing cover of this song ✌😎
The stank face on this never gets old lol.
Give Johnny Winters cover of Highway 61 a listen. Love watching your stuff.
Tobacco Road can be anywhere - backroad Texas for Albino brothers, a street in Hollywood named something else, a project in New York, a dry wadi in Afghanistan. It's what you said, India, coming from nothing to be something, and elevating others if one can.
I've seen Edgar live and words can't do the live show justice.
What kind of hidden talents did he have that we have no idea because he had all of these other talents imposed on top of one another vocals keyboard piano saxophone are you kidding most semi multi-talented holy crap
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.
This shocks everyone
Love your vids! I took piano lessons from same teacher as Edgar in Beaumont, TX. She thought a lot of him.
your reaction was priceless!
This is the best live performance i have ever seen. Thank you for your reaction. These guys are legends. U should react to “dyinh to live” by edgar winter too. ☮️💟💟💟💟💟💟
Love this always....talent
The 1970’s what a time it was to grow up in with the accompaniment of its music.
My first time hearing this too... no idea how I could have ever have missed this lol
Love this live version! Boy was feeling it this night!!!!!
That's Tommy Shannon on bass. He started out with Johnny when he was quite young. Later of course moved to Stevie Ray & Double Trouble.
A Jazz Blues and Soul Funk Fusion going to Church
Yes my dear India. We about to get low down.
Best live performance in history
This is the best video and really shows off Edgar Winters voice, while it shows off who was considered one of the best blues guitarist around, his brother Johnny Winter. Amazing Talent.
The novel "Tobacco Road" was written by Erskine Caldwell about a family of poor , white sharecroppers in Depression era Georgia. Hence, "tobacco road" has been a label for a rundown, poor place.
*RIP Johnny Winter....Edgar Winter Is Still Rockin Today With RINGO'S ALL STARR BAND!*
Feeling the black blues!!
You have to do solo Johnny now! Check out Johnny Winter, Mean Town Blues LIVE from Woodstock ‘69
You gotta love the albino elven twins who chose southern music as there magic specialty, lol
Brothers. Not twins.
Lovely heartfelt reaction.
Amen amen 🙏 saw them soo many times
Awesome dudes
I have this on vinyl and my tube amp rocks !
Watching you react is always a high point in my day. but I was very excited when I saw what you had today. I knew you would recognise how much talent was displayed in this old blues tune played by a couple of very talented brothers. PS: Like the hair this way.
Man I was hoping you were going to get to this song! Awesome reaction! These are two very talented brothers. 🤘👊🎸
He does the best version of Tobacco Road ! Finally you found JOHNNY WINTER !!!!! His Album Johnny Winter Live ,Play Good Morning Little School Girl ?
Such a great performance,I request this to every reaction channel I sub too.
✌😎💜
Same Ron Sevon 🎶🎤🎸
Amazing!! My first too. Wow! Deep and Fabulous. Oh and I LOVE the hair!! 💖
2 of the m ost.brilliant.musicians ever
Johnny was singing
Edgar was guitarist.
Theyre both capable of singing and playing multiple instruments.
They were raised in Beaumont, Texas in the 1950s.
Being Albino, they were bullied and spent most of the day in the Music Room learning all they could.
Actually Edgar was singing. Johnny was the guitar player. Fyi.
Brothers grew up under an affluent Texas family/
But they sure do have soul. Proving not only the Poor can empathize with the human soul.
Johnny & Edgar are Both Albinos White Hair! White Eyelashes !! They are Both Legends ! Very Talented..Seen Johnny Yrs ago In My Much Younger yrs , In Orlando Fla..Amazing Concert ! A Precious Memorie !!! 😊🎶🎵🎼❤✌
Love your reaction
Those boys took you too church. God bless you pretty lady.
Johnny Winters doing " Jumpin Jack Flash " to hear his guitar playing :) Especially as you were a jumpin jack flash during this reaction xXx
