Johnny is my primary influence when it comes to slide guitar, thanks to a cool guy named Jimmy R, former guitarist of Lord Tracey who turned me on to him about 10 years ago. His playing is slick as lightning and the guy never seems to repeat himself no matter how long he solo's.

He also has a great voice for the blues. I have a video of him at a Bob Dylan tribute concert where he plays 'Highway 61 revisited' that I've probably watched a hundred times.

My favorite blues artist period.
