Об исполнителе:
Wilko Johnson (born 12 July 1947, Canvey Island, Essex - Died: 21 November 2022 at his home in Southend-On-Sea, Essex, UK) was an English guitarist and songwriter, particularly associated with the UK rhythm and blues band Dr. Feelgood in the 1970s, and Solid Senders since the late 70s. Dr. Feelgood during the Wilko Johnson era 1971-77 (he quit during the recording sessions of Sneakin' Suspicion) has been credited as one of the founding influences of the British punk movement. Wilko himself was heavily influenced by British guitarist Mick Green. After a bout with pancreatic cancer in 2013, when the doctors gave him 10 months to live, he miraculously recovered and not only recorded and toured again, he also returned to acting in the popular TV series Game of Thrones.
