Johnny Winter was a white Blues guitarist who had local fame in Texas in the early 1960’s. In 1968, after Rolling Stone magazine described him as a “cross-eyed albino with long fleecy hair, playing some of the gutsiest blues guitar you’ve ever heard,” his fame went national. His albums were well received but he wasn’t a hit-maker for top-40 radio. Early singles from the 60’s on Frolic Records like “Gangster of Love” and “Voodoo Twist” are each worth up to $125.00 today.
