TJW passed today aged 75. Saw him on this tour in 1992. Less was always more with Tony's playing. A true great gone home.

    Songwriter to the stars and a mean hand with a blonde ES330. RIP TJW.

    Now there was a guy with swampy mojo!
    Great songwriter and guitarist.

  • Such a soulful player... saw him only a year or so ago at the Union Chapel.
    He was on great form, older but  not ‘faded’

    I’d recommend the studio album ‘Hoodoo’  from his recent output  ( and his live recordings are also worth seeking )

    RIP indeed - shades of CCR in there, too.

    So sad, lovely player. I only heard about his passing last night. RIP

    Just found out, about 5 minutes ago. Terrible loss. What a legend!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
