Johnny Winter - Medicine Man Lyrics

"some boys got it, some boys don't, I'm your medicine man"

This sounds like it could be straight off a Skynyrd LP. I'm guessing they were fans.

I saw him in Montreal , what a gift!!!

king winter !!!!!! thank you very much

Second only to JImi? Better? Does it matter at all? Winter is for the ages, and so is Hendrix.

Que buena cancion ..

Saw him a few times, most recently at Centenary College. His stuff rings in my brain. Holy Smoke. Wow what a player....

The best

Can’t think of a musician I miss more than John Dawson Winter III. Loved it when he schooled Keef on how to wail JJF, pissed him off but they reconciled. Mick and Keef wrote silver train for JW . And again they were upstaged. Go go, go Johnny gogogo...Johnny Bee Goode

Master.

Blues King.

Love Rory, Alvin, Jimi, Robin and Tony Mcphee from the Groundhogs many great musicians, but Johnny was head and shoulders above the rest. I am 66, been listening to him since I was was 17

I second that at 67:)

He played some of the best slide guitar ever.

I remember the winter of 1988. I found and lost my love that year, up on the hills, where is never hot.

The real king. Neither Clapton nor Beck.. Winter was always the best, second only to Hendrix. This is a magical tune: one million guitars echoing throug the universe. Rest in Peace, white albino King of the blues.

Loved Jimi, but Johnny came second to no one

thank you for this post... I use to have this badass album ...miss JW rip

This man made a deal at a certain crossroads.....

JOHNNY EVERLASTING

He is The Blues man!

Dawn here from North Carolina! I saw Johnny Guitar Winters not long before he passed away. I have loved him since the first time I heard him! Roll till your old and rock til you drop. Rest in peace Johnny Guitar Slinger Winters love you!

Darlin, Johnny Winter (not Winters) Lolllll, I Love Him Too. "John Dawson Winter 111" The Greatest Of Em All.

Texas and Johnny winter' go together Antonio

Johnny miss you you're the medicine man brought the soul out of San Antonio Texas Antonio

do i have to draw a diagram

Johnny's guitar obeyed him. Mine talks back constantly.

That is hilarious, dude.

call the doctor! fucking awesome

How do you dislike this?
Must have been a few trolls that live under the same bridge and don't know kick as music when they hear it.
God Speed JW

the 17 dislikes are guys that Johnny probably banged their girl...lol

8 non likes ? must have been DJ`s ..... R.I.P.

How do you dislike this???

SMH... must be deaf???

This is a bad ass piece of music
made by an original bad ass
RIP Johnny!!

Vaughanaddict good a time as he ever did...$$$$$

Not originally by Johnny Winter though

healin' my soul now...

Amen my bro (or sis)

THE ONLY WHITE GUY WHO KNEW THE BLUES ...

No one could hold candle him love yah john

Check Rory Gallagher too. Best, R

Derek Trucks much?

Perhaps Rory too. Johnny was awesome.

5 people downthumbed this.??!!??>>> You guys need a grenade in your fridge.

don't hate... they're probably deaf

Stay in my fingers & Voice Johnny.

This isnt even a Jonny Winter song. Know the facts!

this is Johnny Winter.

The best !

Great gobs of gritty goodness, this is where hot guitar players come to get entertained. Lawdy mama!

some fools need meds

Tried to play this many times lol, The riff is wack.

@Alanna Cararo I'm just bad at it lol, I know he used D standard, plus hes playing slide guitar on that track aswell.

You need heavy strings.

Dillo Tank no, just get the distortion/gain right

If you are going to tune down to D, heavy strings are a good idea.

That 6th string is dropped to a low C.
I mean it's wagging like a dog's tail.
I learned this song by watching a video of a cover in dropped D.
I think I'll roll with that, although it won't be the same.

I Don't Understand why I am not able to CLICK LIKE INFINITE times....MrJohnny Winter MASTER of MASTERS :D

Johnny's got the cure for what ails ya!

larry geetar yes he does bro...my hero man...

3:23 "cum as quick as you can"… I heard that before.

"Yeah!! Call the doctor!!!"

Johnny is the doctor. His music cures what ails you :)

3 people are fucking morons for disliking this. RIP Johnny.

Winter 4 ever <3

Great track.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the words & music credit should go to Robbie Fisher and Henley Douglas rather than Johnny.

+Twangsome Correct. Rob is a brilliant songwriter. not sure exactly what Pete's contribution to this was but Winter's management ripped them off.

Teddy Sladis ...

this is gash. why is this linked to obscure velvet underground oddities?

la mejor muero por este tema!!!

Great song but the original is better imo.

better no, different yes, you can't compare Winter and Broonzy.

+Dan Taylor Are you sure yoy've heard the original. It feature's Robbie fisher on guitars, lead vocal and percussion and pete douglas on bass, backing vocals and percussion and is uncannily similar to Winter's version bar Rob's lower-piched vocal. The arrangement of this demo was lifted lock, stock and barrel with little original input from johnny Winter (with respect; he was a fine player and champion of Muddy Waters which commands respect on its own).

+maltloaf legrande I was in fact referring to Robbie Fishers original version.

Dan taylor. I'm not at all sure why I didn't just assume you were referring to Rob's verson. It seems so obvious now. Must have been a late night or something. How did you come across it? do you know Rob?

+maltloaf legrande No prob. Yes Robbie is a freind of a freind.

Johnny...R.I.P.

J'espère que vous consolez les étoiles Medicine Man...

Nobody could touch Johnny, and I mean NOBODY!

totally agree Stan. RIP JDW III

I ll third that gentlemen. My favorite hands down.

Thank you, Johnny

Johnny knocks every song about 800 ft out of the park on this album.  RIP Johnny and rest assured your legacy lives forever!

thanx for all, rest in peace man

His music is medicine for a sick soul. In honor of Johnny I am playing only his music today in THE BAR  https://www.facebook.com/groups/BagsEndBarAndGrill/

LOL!!!!

RIP Johnny.

been rockin to johnny winter since the 70s - cheers man

abluse.. just one video, but that's enough ;-)

Johnny is the best!!

Damn straight he is

JOHNNY WINTER DEUS DO BLUES!

This doc still makes housecalls.

Long Live The King!

some of the best slide ever played....Genius...Wizard.

Agreed. Also check Rory Gallagher "Bull Frog Blues" Wow. Party on. Blues is AWESOME

@Hoserintraining Yup I must admit Johnny was my favourite,but Rory wasn't far behind in my books

This shit has to be played with youtuberepeat.

this cat cooks, strate up smoke, 800 bux a bag bend over blobama

this dude once held the title "fastest guirtarist in the world" and deservingly so. He has a mellow, bluesy heart also as we all very well know. Guitar God often overlooked but not by me,

CHRIS Faulkner ygwie malmsteen is fastest but you can program a robot to do his schtick. a robot can't do this.

As far as I"m concerned, he's the best blues guitarist ever. His style so unique, gritty, awesome, fast as hell.. love him so much.. RIP JDW III

YO- CALL THE DR. ; )

I like Johnny's blues stuff but nothing beats good hard Southern Rock.......this is the dog's bollocks !

The best musician of White Blues, without doubt.
His original songs are great, of course, but his reprises, here, it's a sort of god.
So god.
Haha.

very interesting

Badass music!

This dude is Baaaad :)

wtf....god of blues

Wow, simply amazing. This tune is haunting me in a good way! He is the best!

Steinberger? You mean Erlewine Laser.

This studio cut rates very high in my personal long list of great work by this incredible artist.

I saw Johnny live in a small club just after this album came out (1990?)
He was playing a Steinberger and the Firebird. What still impresses me was his ability to seamlessly trade between lead an rhythm. Must have played 3 hrs. straight.
Had a girl waiting offstage who was pretty rough around the edges:) Great show!

be blessed you got to see him. he was one of a kind.. the best. RIP JDW III

i have no words to describe the feeling that grown inside me when i hear this song

@19blues64 how was that show?

Thank you! I was looking for this one quite a long time. Great!

It wasnt Johnny Winter who wrote this if ya check the orginal album. It was actually a friend of mine who got ripped off called, Robbie Fischer

he's playing here in spokane saturday the 16th, haven't seen him since 1980... can't wait!

Yeah this album really rocks

this is a guitar GOD- THIS IS THE BLUES MAN

you got that right
