First, a brief synopsis of both artists:

Johnny Winter

Born John Dawson Winter III on February 23, 1944, Johnny Winter is widely considered one of the greatest bluesman of his age. Originating from the humblest of settings, both Johnny and his brother Edgar absorbed blues lore from such luminaries as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Roy Head. Johnny is known for his southern rock-style of blues, and released a number if qualitie albums that have achieved critical acclaim. The most lauded of his albums are, without a doubt, Johnny Winter and Second Winter, as it is these two albums that fully exemplify his driving blues style. Johnny also performed at the legendary Woodstock music festival. He is easily recognized by his albinism and trademark style of dress.

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Born October 3, 1954 in Dallas, SRV was a technical innovator and master showman. Whether performing as Double Trouble or with his brother Jimmie, he influenced a generation of guitar players with his confident style and soulful swagger. Notable albums include: In Step and Texas Flood. Basically, if you don't know about SRV then you're either a retard, a weirdo, or a combination of the two.
