Johnny Winter - Texas Blues (1998)

These are the earliest recordings of blues guitarist Johnny Winter recorded in the '60s before he was signed by Columbia in 1968. Most of the material is comprised of electric Texas blues, doo wop, R&B, and twist instrumentals, all gritty enough not to be relegated as generic after the first listen. Winter also covers several songs he obviously was fond of by Bo Diddley, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Robert Johnson, Mose Allison, Lowell Fulson, and Danny White's "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," a song that would also show up on his first Alligator release from 1984, Guitar Slinger. Much of this material was also issued by Fuel 2000 in 2003 under the title Winter Essentials 1960-1967.
