Johnny was a true giant of the blues. So versatile: absolutely mind-blowing talent on Delta slide, incredibly powerful voice, magnificent amplified with a Chicago blues-type band. The man could do it all. We miss you, Johnny, but at least we have your recordings.

In 1991 I met Johnny in Deer Lake MN where we shared sandwiches at my campsite. He was very nice... he was touring with Kent Ducahiane and sang like the dickens.

i met johnny in 91 at the wc handy music festival in muscle shoals alabama.i carried his amp to his car and ask for an autograph. he kindly obliged and signed my national guitar. he said play me something man. so i hit him a few licks..... he said i used to play like that before that stroke fucked me up...he died a year later. i'll never forget the moan he had when he sang.... one of the greats.

The Blues just doesn't get more real than that. That's it.
