"An Introduction to Johnny Winter [Remaster]" (02/28/2006) Rock & Pop Winter, Johnny, Fuel 2000 RecordsLiner Note Author: Bill Dahl. Before guitarist Johnny Winter stormed onto the American blues scene in the late 1960s, the lanky, hot-shot Texan cut a number of sides for small labels, and many of those tunes are compiled on this well-selected Fuel 2000 disc. In addition to tearing into originals such as the charmingly youthful "School Day Blues" and the fiery "You'll Be the Death of Me," Winter offers up a number of excellent cover tunes, including Johnny "Guitar" Watson's caddish classic "Gangster of Love." Although it's clear that the renowned six-stringer was just warming up at this early stage in his career, there are enough gems here to make AN INTRODUCTION TO JOHNNY WINTER more than just a diehards-only collection.

"I'm a Bluesman" (06/15/2004) Blues Winter, Johnny, Virgin Records (USA)Personnel: Johnny Winter (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Johnny Winter; Paul Nelson (guitar); Paul Nelson (electric guitar); Reese Wynans (keyboards); Tom MacDonald, Scott Spray, Brad Hallen (electric bass); Scott Spray (bass guitar); Tom Hambridge (drums, percussion, background vocals); Wayne June (drums); James Montgomery (harmonica). Audio Mixers: Dick Shurman; Tom Hambridge; David Axelbaum; Ducky Carlisle. Recording information: Carriage House, Stamford, CT; Room 9 From Outer Space, South Boston, MA. Editor: Scott Baggett. Photographer: Ken Schles. On guitar-slinger Johnny Winter's 2004 outing, I'M A BLUESMAN, his spicy style of playing keeps with a legacy dating back to the late 1960s, when he was playing on the club circuit of tiny Beaumont, Texas. Tapping Roy Buchanan/Albert Collins producer Dick Shurman to man the console, Winter wisely brings his touring band into the studio with him. Although the albino axe-wielder's guitar tone sounds oddly compressed, his still-impressive playing does much to dispel any distractions. Such is the case when the sixtysomething Texan plays the spurned-lover card, be it on the organ-soaked howler "Cheatin' Blues" or the subtler, but no less suspicious, "I Smell Smoke." Despite nearly being eligible for Social Security, the rail-thin Winter still opens it up, as evidenced by the howling and crackling slide guitar adorning "Lone Wolf" and the equally tempestuous stomper "Sweet Little Baby." Winter also tips his Stetson to Lazy Lester and Hop Wilson with the former's "Sugar Coated Love," served up as a snappy, mid-tempo shuffle, and the latter's "That Wouldn't Satisfy," cast as a mournful, acoustic steel-guitar lament.

Originally released by Sony Special Products in 1995, Rock & Roll People was reissued by Collectables in 2004 as part of their Budget Collection series. ~ Al Campbell

"Best of Johnny Winter [Columbia/Legacy]" (01/29/2002) Rock & Pop Winter, Johnny, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel includes: Johnny Winter (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, harp); Rick Derringer (vocals, guitar); Randy Jo Hobbs (vocals, bass); Bobby Caldwell (percussion). Producers: Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter. Compilation producer: Lawrence Cohn. Includes liner notes Lawrence Cohn. This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. Personnel includes: Johnny Winter (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, harp); Rick Derringer (vocals, guitar); Randy Jo Hobbs (vocals, bass); Bobby Caldwell (percussion). Producers: Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter. Compilation producer: Lawrence Cohn. Includes liner notes Lawrence Cohn. This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. After decades in the music business, the blues-fueled rock & roll of guitar great Johnny Winter can still cause a commotion. This retrospective on the early career of the albino blues master showcases some of the flashiest guitar chops ever recorded. From the extended dual guitar leads on live tracks like "It's My Own Fault" and "Mean Town Blues" to the slide-guitar mania of "I'm Yours and I'm Hers," Winter dazzles the listener with his well-honed craft. A solid mixture of original tunes and interesting covers, this 16-track disc expresses the diversity present in all of Winter's music. His love for soul is visible in his gritty, emotional voice ("Miss Ann") while his more straightforward rock tendencies find just as strong an outlet ("Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo"). For fans of good ol' rock & roll from the days when blues made it's way into all sorts of music, this disc will not disappoint.

"The Progressive Blues Experiment [Remaster]" (02/15/2005) Blues Winter, Johnny, Capitol/EMI RecordsPersonnel: Johnny Winter (vocals, guitar, National steel guitar, mandolin, harmonica); Tommy Shannon (bass); Red Turner (drums). Adapter: Johnny Winter. Personnel: Johnny Winter (vocals, guitar, steel guitar, National guitar, harp, mandolin, harmonica); Johnny Winter; Tommy Shannon (bass instrument, bass guitar); "Uncle" John Turner (drums); Red Turner (drums). Audio Remasterer: Evren G?knar. Recording information: Vulcan Gas Company, Austin, TX (1967). Photographer: Burton Wilson. Arranger: Johnny Winter. 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. ~ Cub Koda & Thom Jurek

"Johnny B. Goode" (04/25/2006) Blues Winter, Johnny, RexJohnny B. Goode is a compilation on Rex, the Sony BMG partnership label for reissues. It's budget but offers solid material from Johnny Winter's early years with Columbia, from "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" and "Still Alive and Well" to "Stray Cat Blues," "I'll Drown in My Tears," and his trademark version of "Rollin' & Tumblin'." The early Winter band featured Tommy Shannon and Uncle John Turner (who late formed the rhythm section of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble and the Arc Angels). Winter's brother Edgar appears here as well. This is a solid portrait of Johnny Winter as he was hitting his stride and changing the face of electric blues-rock. ~ Thom Jurek

"Johnny Winter And / Johnny Winter And Live" (04/06/2004) Rock & Pop Winter, Johnny, Beat Goes OnThis twofer brings together a pair of early 1970s albums by blues guitarist Johnny Winter. One of the records, LIVE, captures Winter's fiery in-concert energy, and proved a best-seller on its release in 1971. For some, Johnny Winter's debut album for Columbia remains his high-water mark for its seamless meld of blues and hard rock. For most of the rest, it was his later group, with Rick Derringer and Murray Krugman stepping into the producer's chairs (as well as Derringer being a member of the band), which provided the defining moments in '70s blues-rock. BGO assembles the first studio album and Live Johnny Winter into a smoking double-disc package that offers the real differences between what this band attempted to do in the studio -- it sounds undeniably dated with all of the phase shifters and primitive guitar pedal and keyboard work -- and the incendiary stage attack this band was capable of. The basic deal is this: BGO takes great care in their remastering efforts and in presentation with fine liner note essays, and it separates the albums onto two discs. The first disc has the original version of "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," that Derringer scored with some years later, and the latter is all killer, no filler. Check "Mean Town Blues," for proof. ~ Thom Jurek
