JOHNNY WINTER

 with RED TURNER, TOMMY SHANNON 

An exceptionally talented blues and slide guitarist, beginning 

in the 1960s and stretching into the 21st century. 

When Johnny Winter emerged on the national scene in 1969, the hope, particularly 

in the record business, was that he would become a superstar on the scale of Jimi Hendrix, 

another blues-based rock guitarist and singer who preceded him by a few years. 

That never quite happened, but Winter did survive the high expectations of his early 

admirers to become a mature, respected blues musician with a strong sense of tradition

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...(AllMusic)
