Free Music Notes for Live Bootleg Series, Volume TwoFree Music Review: Johnny Almighty Hit: 5 StarsThis 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: STILL ALIVE AND WELL (AFTER ALL THESE YEARS) Hit: 5 StarsGREAT SONGS, GREAT BLUES, GREAT GUITAR PLAYING, JOHNNY WINTER NEVER SOUNDED BETTER. THIS IS JUST A GREAT CD. I DON'T HAVE VOLUME ONE BUT I AM SURE GOING TO GO GET IT AFTER HEARING VOLUME 2. NOT ONE BAD CUT ON THIS ALBUM. FUNNY THING, I ONCE MET JOHNNY WINTER, EDGAR WINTER, AND RICK DERRINGER IN AN ELEVATOR IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN AROUND 1973 OR 1974 (I WAS 14 OR 15 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, MAN WAS I BLOWN AWAY!). I WILL NEVER FORGET WALKING INTO AND OUT OF THAT ELEVATOR FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
Free Music Review: seven stars...and three Hit: 3 Starsthe music? c'mon it's mr. Winter, who else like him? Unfortunately, the sound is terribly...MONO. Sorry guys, if you're looking for historical recordings this is a terrific one, but if you like your musical history at least with a modest stereo and decent sound, stay away. Seven stars for johnny, the 3 stars are for whoever never mentioned that MONO detail in the cd cover.
Free Music Review: America owns the blues Hit: 5 StarsThe first time I heard Johnny Winter was in 1978 with a bong and a friend, and the album was a bootleg recorded on a cassette. We didn't know until the end who it was, but when we did, Johnny Winter became an icon. This album starts off with poor vocals on the first track, but the guitar takes off and never comes down. The vocals catch up, but by then, the band is ripping through the speakers like a freight train. Johnny puts the younger guys to shame. The world can hate us, but our music will rock us.
Free Music Review: johnnyguitar live Hit: 3 Starsso nice to have another volume so soon after the first. its also a compilation of live tracks. i would have prefered one concert like they did on the second winter legacy edition released a few years back but i'll live. my other beef is that there is no recording info? wassup with that. i should be happy with it and i am and you will to if you love what this man does with his guitar.
