Free Music Notes for Live Bootleg Series, Volume TwoFree Music Review: Johnny Winter Is Simply "The Best" ! Hit: 5 Stars
Johnny Winter is a musical icon who is so underrated. We are so fortunate that he is still with us, and still making great music. I know Johnny personally and I am always awe struck by this man's talent and ability. Thank God he now has a great manager(Paul Nelson) and his career is finally on the right track. To really appreciate Johnny and his music, you have to see him live. His band is great too, they have never sounded tighter. It will be an experience you'll never forget. I think it's great that Johnny is opening up his personal archives and sharing all these fantastic "live" recordings from years gone by. The songs here clearly show the genius and spirit of his performances when he was in his prime as an artist. I hope Johnny will continue to release more live performances in this series. Long live Johnny Winter, the "Blues Man".
Free Music Review: Unbelievable! Hit: 5 Stars
You know better than me that there are lots of good blues albums you would like to have but that you can live without and others that you just must have. This is (believe me) one of the greatest blues CD I have ever come across, simply unbelievable! If there is somewhere a must have blues album this is the one. The 14 minutes plus of Mississippi Blues are pure bliss, and probably the best blues cut ever recorded in history, not to mention the jaw dropping version of JH classic Red House. However the entire set smokes from start to finish and all the live material included here is top quality blues. This CD is the proven proof that Jonny Winter is not just one of the best blues guitarists ever lived but one of the greatest blues artists of all time. Absolutely an essential addition to your blues collection. Five stars plus!
Free Music Review: Johnny Almighty Hit: 5 Stars
This is bias review. If and when Live Bootleg Series, Volume 982 comes out, I will buy it. Although the fidelity of the recordings are not great, I have resorted to turning up the volume...and been quite pleased. For once and for all, these recording clearly put JW on the top shelf of rock guitarist, on par with Jimi, Page, and Clapton. The sad fact is that this global recognition will never come true. Not to worry, JW is joining a long list of fellow bluesmen that have been grossly overlooked by the industry. How could he be a true bluesman if this were not true? Final comment: when the space aliens come to earth we should play this album and if they don't instantly love it, send them packing....they've got no soul.
Free Music Review: Johnny Winter - "Live Bootleg Series Vol. 2" is a True Blues Classic Filled with Gems Hit: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of the Blues - or simply a Guitar fan in general, GET THIS DISC, as well as "Live Bootleg Series Vol. 1". You will NOT be disappointed - trust me! Johnny's rare/live version of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Red House", is worth the modest (Amazon) price of the disc itself. Johnny's playing is on fire here performing the blues classics "Parchman Farm" & "Mississippi Blues". If you know nothing about Johnny Winter - this set would be a fantastic place to start. Warning: Once you get hooked on Mr. Winter's legendary slide guitar style (and you will), you'll want to collect everything he has officially released for your personal library - and most of it is available for purchase here on Amazon.com - at great prices.
Free Music Review: Johnny Winter Live Bootleg Vol-1 ROCKS Hit: 5 Stars
This "album" is highly recommended! This is a must-have for any fan of Johnny Winter or blazing guitar playing. The band's music overcomes any shortcomings in the sound quality. (Volume 1 is a better recording, but volume 2 may have more innovative playing.) After all, these are live recordings, from an era before sophisticated remote music equipment. Don't let the warts spoil a fantastic musical experience. Sit back (if you can) and enjoy! The licks aren't as polished (occasionally) as his studio albums, but the improvisation is fantastic. This group puts out an amazing sound for three members.
