ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons joins Johnny Winter on “Where Can You Be”, a track from the late blues legend’s newly-released album, “Step Back.”
“When Johnny picks up a guitar,” says Gibbons, “you never know quite what’s gonna come at you but whatever it is, it’s gonna be good!”
Produced by Paul Nelson, “Step Back” was completed shortly before Winter died on July 16 in his hotel room in Zurich, Switzerland while on tour in Europe at the age of 70.
The 13-song collection also includes contributions from Eric Clapton, Brian Setzer, Joe Bonamassa, Leslie West and others.
Winter will be the focus of an all-star tribute concert at B.B. King’s in New York City on October 10; details regarding the guest lineup will be announced soon.
