Tejas Firebird: Lennie Jones is a musician and folk artist whose blues run deep. Witness the many remarkable, evocative paintings that wonderfully capture the essence and passion of the music. Lennie, who is based in Naples, Florida, is responsible for dozens of creations featuring some of the blues' biggest legends, and he was kind enough to share a scan of his "Tejas Firebird" with readers of JohnnyWinter.net. Thanks, Lennie!
More classic Johnny: Johnny's acclaimed Live Bootleg Series rolls on with Volumes 4 and 5, the latest installments in the artist-approved series from Friday Music.
Volume 4 finds Johnny tackling classics like "Okie Dokie Stomp" and delivering an acoustic reading of "Rollin' and Tumblin'." Volume 5 continues the celebration of Johnny's fretboard mastery and features "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo."
