Johnny B. Goode

In April of this year Edgar Winter released an album paying tribute to his late brother, Johnny Winter. John Dawson Winter III passed away in 2014. This song was released ahead of the album, in January.

This is what Music-News had to say:

Johnny Winter’s version of ‘Johnny B. Goode’ was a stone classic, for many (me included) the best version ever recorded.

Johnny Winter also used to perform the song with his brother Edgar when they were growing up in Texas and so it makes for a perfect number for Edgar to launch an album dedicated to the late Johnny Winter and featuring Warren Haynes, Billy Gibbons, Joe Walsh, Ringo Starr, Steve Lukather, Derek Trucks, Keb Mo, Joe Bonamassa, Taylor Hawkins, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and many more. ‘Brother Johnny’ will be released in early April.

This song is "Johnny B. Goode" by Edgar Winter from the 2022 album Brother Johnny. It features Joe Walsh on vocals, David Grissom on guitar, with Edgar Winter on piano and saxophone.
