Goode', 'Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo', and 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', dedicating the end of the set to Johnny. The first night, after playing 'Frankenstein', I closed the show with 'Johnny B. I was devastated, and expected the tour to be canceled, but the promoters wanted it to go on as planned with me and my band as the headliners.

Just two weeks after his return, we were scheduled to start the Rock вЂNвЂ™ Blues Fest, a tour Johnny and I were both playing with our respective bands, and there would be jamming together at the end. Johnny was touring Europe, and was in Switzerland for what would become his last show. Now, as time has passed, I have started to reconsider. Somehow, this just didn't feel right to me. Now after his passing, many people immediately started trying to convince me to do a Johnny Winter tribute album. He came in, and went out the same way - true to the blues, and I love him for that.

Let me first say that although Johnny may have departed this physical plane, his spirit, his music, and his presence will live on in my heart, always. So here it is.ДЄs most of you may know, my brother, Johnny, passed away in July of 2014. I thought it would be an appropriate time to post this small excerpt from the liner notes of the upcoming Johnny tribute album. I just wanted to thank everyone for writing in with remembrances of Johnny, this being the seventh anniversary of his passing (I wrote this yesterday). Hey, hey, hey Edgar Winter, 'Guess It'll Go Away' ft.Julytsfi 1m7 eaSt hpidoietonc10g:Sgsd2orr8c SPeMid

Edgar Winter, 'Guess I'll Go Away'В (Johnny Winter Cover) Lyrics (via AZLyrics) Listen to 'Guess I'll Go Away' further down the page.ДЇollowing news ofВ Hawkins' tragic passing, countless musicians flooded social media with tributes to the drummer and warmly remembered his giving spirit and radiant personality. Hawkins even refused to accept any financial compensation for guesting on the track. The song first appeared on the 1970 album Johnny Winter And, the fourth studio album by Johnny Winter and, although Hawkins and Edgar never met in person, the cover version has such palpable energy that it feels as if the two cut it live in the studio. Although I know Johnny has departed this world, I still think of and speak to him every day, and will now see Taylor's face alongside his,' Winter concluded. The name of the song is 'Guess I'll Go Away.' Now, both Johnny and Taylor have gone a way no one can know, but which we all one day must travel. 'All I know is he put his whole heart and soul into it, and I am so sad that I never found a way to thank him properly as he so deeply and profoundly deserved. I would guess (like most all musicians) Taylor couldn't help but identify with it.' 'It's a song about the lure of sex, the danger of drugs, and the love of rock 'n' roll,' he continued, and further explained, 'Johnny wrote it around the time of his first rehab, and it expresses feelings almost everyone I know has been through in one way or another. I listened to it last night and couldn't help but cry,' Winter told Rolling Stone. 'He said, 'I just wanna get out there and rock,' and rock he did.

The record serves as a tribute to Johnny Winter, Edgar'sВ older brother who died in 2014 and, sadly, Hawkins unexpectedly died hours before a Foo Fighters concert in Columbia on March 25, which makes his appearance on 'Guess I'll Go Away' rather poignant.
