Johnny Winter - The Winter Of '88 (1988)


This is a solid recording by Winter; focusing on the rocking side of the blues. No real down home blues here, just rock, with Winter cutting loose on a number of traditionals and a few originals. This is not a CD of serious, thoughtful blues; rather, this is just a good old fashioned "let it loose" rocker. When he is on, Winter has a wonderful talent for bringing out the best in songs. His guitar and voice are in fine form here, and while it may not satisfy a traditionalist, it is more than adequate for the fan of blues with a rocking edge.

Johnny Winter - Birds Can't Row Boats (1988)


Aside from "Ice Cube" (a 1959 instrumental), these tracks date from 1965-1968. Many are previously unissued or only available on rare 45s. Those accustomed to his more famous recordings are in for a jolt, as this shows Winter in several unexpected settings: grinding Texas psych-punk, the British Invasion-cum-folk-rock garage single "Gone for Bad," blue-eyed R&B/soul, an Everly Brothers cover, a Highway 61-era Dylan imitation, and even a sh*t-kickin' C&W tune. There are also some straight, predominantly acoustic blues numbers.

Johnny Winter - Third Degree (1986)


Everything about this gem from Johnny Winter is utterly superb! Firstly, the cover is magnificent. It says it ALL. The music contained is beyond comparison, you gain the sense of commoraderie amongst the musicians and they really seem to be enthusiastically involved . Every track is blindingly good.There's an updated version of "Broke & Lonely", a song which he first did way back in the very early '60s. Winters version of Eddie Boyds "Third Degree" is the best version ever done. "Mojo Boogie" blazes from start to finish. Johnny is supported by a tour-de-force band which includes Dr. John on piano. The slow blues songs on here really burn with intensity-- Thankfully by 1984 Johnny had quit using the annoying "phaser'sound that he employed on many of his recordings although he did still use the device on live concerts. The guitar tone for this c.d. is pure and clear.

Johnny Winter - Serious Business (1985)


If you love long, continually-vibrant, energetic guitar solos, then this album is for you. This album has it all---slow tempo blues (with piercing, snaking, rapid-fire soloing), fast tempo boogie-woogie (with piercing, wonderfully-driving soloing), medium-tempo shuffles (more soloing, of course), and more. Check out the title song at the end--its kind of a bluegrass/blues, finger-picking masterpiece (on electric, of course)--so driving, frantic, and utterly energizing!

Sonny Terry with Johnny Winter & Willie Dixon - Whoppin' (1984)


The textbook charge usually levelled against Alligator sessions are that they're sanitized. You couldn't lodge that one against this set with a straight face; if anything, somebody turned Sonny Terry loose. It didn't hurt that Johnny Winter was around on guitar and piano, playing gritty blues with a passion. It didn't help that Terry didn't put any amplified muscle behind his harmonica, however. Otherwise, this is a strong session.

Johnny Winter - Raisin' Cain (1980)


Long lost album recorded in 1980 by Texan Guitar legend Johnny Winter. Having been a Johnny Winter fan for the past 15 years, and having seen him several times, this album is a great collection for any Johnny Winter fan. It is not his best work, but a good CD non the less. Since it is a 3-piece band, which Johnny prefers, he makes the most of the songs albiet they are cover tunes. I especially like his version of Bob Dylan's "Like a rolling Stone". and "New York New York". The atmosphere of the album seems to be Johnny just having fun, which as we know is when Johnny plays his best guitar!

Johnny Winter - White Hot & Blue (1978)


"White, Hot & Blue" was recorded in '78, and features Winter's excellent renditions of Jimmy Rogers' classic "Walkin' By Myself" and Junior Wells' signature tune "Messin' With The Kid", as well as a couple of fine originals. Winter's playing is superb as always, and this is one of his strongest and bluesiest records. The only song on this set that doesn't really work is Winter's take on Sleepy John Estes' "Diving Duck"...it's hard to screw up Estes' superb, melodious country blues tunes, but this up-tempo rendition never gets off the ground. Virtually everything else is excellent, though, from the tough, groovy "One Step At A Time" and the salacious slide guitar-workout "Slidin' In", to the acoustic Delta-styled "Nickel Blues" and the slow Little Walter-original "Last Night", which features some fine harp playing by Pat Ramsey. The album closes with a tremendous cover of Jimmy Reed's slow boogie "Honest I Do", a superbly groovy rendition with tasty guitar playing from Johnny Winter and a sizzling harp solo, probably the best Jimmy Reed-cover.

Houston, Texas - November 15, 1978. One of those small club soundboards that can sometimes yield strange results, where the guitar and vocals at times sound more like an audience recording, whereas the other instruments are always soundboard quality. Still a great performance and worthy for a standout version of "Come On In My Kitchen".

Johnny & Edgar Winter - Together (1976)


Individually, Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny Winter are powerful artists, but combined, they are virtually unstoppable. In this live set, the brothers are just having the time of their lives, digging deep into their bag of favorites, and pulling out smoking renditions of the Sam & Dave classic "Soul Man" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." The history of rock & roll continues with Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" and Chuck Berry's "Reelin' and Rockin'." The Winters go Detroit on Mitch Ryder's "Jenny Take a Ride," and pay homage to the king, Elvis Presley, with "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Jailhouse Rock." From start to finish, Edgar and Johnny are having a rockin' & rollin' good time, and that happiness channels over to the listener.

Johnny Winter - Captured Live! (1976)


Johnny Winter is one of the most unknown of the late 1960's/1970's guitar heroes. He also happens to be one of the best, right up there with Cream-era Clapton, Hendrix, and Jimmy Page. This is a live album from 1976 and usually can be found for a pittance. EVERY ONE of these songs has some unreal guitar work from Johnny, and the tone he gets on his guitar is Hendrix taken to the extreme, in some cases. His bandmates are fantastic, as well.

Johnny Winter - Saints & Sinners (1974)


Johnny Winter's sixth Columbia album was also his second since his comeback from drug addiction. Its predecessor, Still Alive and Well, had been his highest charting effort. Saints & Sinners was just as energetically played, but its mixture of material, including '50s rock & roll oldies like Chuck Berry's "Thirty Days," Larry Williams' "Bony Moronie," and Leiber & Stoller's "Riot in Cell Block #9," recent covers like the Rolling Stones' "Stray Cat Blues," and a couple of originals, was more eclectic than inspired. (Van Morrison completists should note that the album also contains Winter's cover of Morrison's "Feedback on Highway 101," a typical bluesy groove song that Morrison recorded for his 1973 Hard Nose the Highway album but dropped. Winter's is the only released recording of the song.) Abetted by the members of the old Johnny Winter Band — Rick Derringer, Randy Jo Hobbs, and Richard Hughes — plus his brother Edgar Winter and Dan Hartman, Winter produced forceful hard rock focused on his searing lead guitar runs and rough-edged voice. It was the less-impressive choice of material that kept this collection from matching its predecessor. Originally released in February, 1974, Saints & Sinners was reissued in February, 1996 with the previously unreleased song "Dirty," a Winter original, added. The slide guitar-and-flute track is not consistent with the rest of the album, but it is interesting to hear. Wonder who played the flute?

If you don't know Winter and you want to: buy a greatest hits collection. If you know and love Winter, and you are now looking for precious odd gems, then this is one of those discs. Compiled of alternate takes and unreleased gems, NIGHTRIDER is such a blues delight, you will fall into amazement upon how many different styles are represented on this single CD. Winter can play wildly, or quite sad, or quite happy. And all the styles just seem to work. Winter rules. An absolute legend that has captured the hearts (and ears) of many blues fans.

Johnny Winter - John Dawson Winter III (1974)


Johnny Winter, his brother Edgar and Rick Derringer form an American rock triumvirate that knows little competition. John Dawson Winter III further refines the oldest's progression from an overanxious white bluesman with a restrained voice into a tasteful and raunch rocker. Winter the guitarist is a constant powerhouse who leaves few spaces in his frequent solos. Delivering cluster after cluster of rapidly picked notes or soaring chords, he has developed a discernible, if not virtuoso, style to replace the awkward pastiches of Chuck Berry and B.B. King that flawed his early work. Interestingly, Winter opts for less use of distortion than do most guitarists of this ilk. He composes smartly. Knowing that even the simplest change can revitalize an otherwise staid 12-bar blues, Winter inserts a time-tested ascending chord sequence into the ninth and tenth bars of "Pick Up on My Mojo." Yet he can also succeed with a haunting, gently sung "Stranger," a pop piece reminiscent of Edgar. But it's never a one-man show. Randy Jo Hobbs's bass combines treble tones with the mandatory bottom sound, and muscular drum rolls from Richard Hughes propel the meatier tracks which dominate the album. Wisely, Winter continues to borrow from other writers: Derringer, John Lennon and Allen Toussaint are all well represented. Shelly Yackus's crisp production shows the proper measure of control. John Dawson Winter III is not without flaws -- his vocal on "Sweet Papa John," a blues patterned after the earliest Muddy Waters sides, returns to the thin huskiness he has mostly mastered, and the horns on two cuts would have been best omitted. Still, Winter displays an unmistakable maturity that few rock artists achieve.

Johnny Winter - About Blues (1972)


Released in 1969 was Janus Record's ABOUT BLUES. Produced by the infamous Roy C. Ames, it was a more modern set made up of recordings that he somehow managed to get a hold of from Huey Meaux. The critics tended to like this one. And while there were one or two bumps in the road, it was generally good, with "Parchman Farm," "Leavin' Blues," "Bad News," "Out of Sight" and "Livin' in the Blues" leading the pack: "Livin' in the Blues" seemed a predecessor to SECOND WINTER. Janus put out EARLY TIMES, the sequel, that next year.

Johnny Winter - The Progressive Blues Experiment (1969)


Although his early Columbia albums brought him worldwide stardom, it was this modest little album (first released on Imperial before the Columbia sides) that first brought Johnny Winter to the attention of guitarheads in America. It's also Winter at the beginning of a long career, playing the blues as if his life depends on it, without applying a glimmer of rock commercialism. The standard classic repertoire here includes "Rollin' and Tumblin'," "I Got Love if You Want It," "Forty-Four," "It's My Own Fault," and "Help Me," with Winter mixing it up with his original Texas trio of Red Turner on drums and Tommy Shannon (later of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble) on bass. A true classic, this is one dirty, dangerous, and visionary album. The set was issued in a sonically screaming 24-bit remastered edition on CD by Capitol in 2005. It contains no bonus tracks, but it leaves the original crummy CD issue in the dust.

Johnny's second Columbia album shows an artist in transition. He's still obviously a TexasDallas with. But his music is moving toward the more rock & roll sounds he would go on to create. The opener, "Memory Pain," moves him into psychedelic blues-rock territory, while old-time rockers like "Johnny B. Goode," "Miss Ann," and "Slippin' and Slidin'" provide him with familiar landscapes on which to spray his patented licks. His reworking of Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" is the high spot of the record, a career-defining track that's still a major component of his modern-day set list. This was originally released back in the day as a three-sided vinyl double album, by the way. bluesman, recording in the same trio format that he left

Johnny Winter - Johnny Winter (1969)


Winter's debut album for Columbia was also arguably his bluesiest and best. Straight out of Texas with a hot trio, Winter made blues-rock music for the angels, tearing up a cheap Fender guitar with total abandon on tracks like "I'm Yours and I'm Hers," "Leland Mississippi Blues," and perhaps the slow blues moment to die for on this set, B.B. King's "Be Careful with a Fool." Winter's playing and vocals have yet to become mannered or clichéd on this session, and if you've ever wondered what the fuss is all about, here's the best place to check out his true legacy.

Johnny Winter biography


Blues guitarist Johnny Winter became a major star in the late '60s and early '70s. Since that time he's confirmed his reputation in the blues by working with Muddy Waters and continuing to play in the style, despite musical fashion. Born in Beaumont, TX, Winter formed his first band at 14 with his brother Edgar in Beaumont, and spent his youth in recording studios cutting regional singles and in bars playing the blues. His discovery on a national level came via an article in Rolling Stone in 1968, which led to a management contract with New YorkColumbia. His debut album (there are numerous albums of juvenilia), Johnny Winter, reached the charts in 1969. Starting out with a trio, Winter later formed a band with former members of the McCoys, including second guitarist Rick Derringer. It was called Johnny Winter And. He achieved a sales peak in 1971 with the gold-selling Live/Johnny Winter And. He returned in 1973 with Still Alive and Well, his highest-charting album. His albums became more overtly blues-oriented in the late '70s and he also produced several albums for Muddy Waters. In the '80s he switched to the blues label Alligator for three albums, and has since recorded for the labels MCA and Pointblank/Virgin. club owner Steve Paul and a record deal with

The early-2000s were quiet as far as new Winter recordings, but there were a number of significant reissues. Alligator issued the best of their years with the artist as Deluxe Edition in 2001, Columbia/Legacy covered his 1969-1971 period with their 2002 release Best of Johnny Winter, and Fuel 2000 came up with Winter's earliest recordings and compiled them on 2003's Winter Essentials 1960-1967. Sony reissued Winter's 1969 self-titled album with five bonus tracks in 2004, the same year the man returned with his first new album in nearly eight years, I'm a Bluesman. The archival reissues continued with Fuel's Introduction to Johnny Winter in 2006, which collected sides Winter recorded in his pre-Columbia years between 1960 and 1967 for the Dart, KCRO, Frolic, Todd, Hall-Way, and Pacemaker imprints.
