Free Music Notes for Nothin' But the Blues/White, Hot & Blue
Free Music Review: hot, hot and hot
Hit: 5 Stars
I did not own Nothin' But the Blues before, but have been looking for White, Hot & Blue on CD for a long time. Now I have them on one CD that is so hot it melted my CD player. Johnny burns with inspiration from the old timers on the former, and the latter is quite simply his best album. I had the good fortune to see Muddy Waters, et al, around the time these albums were recorded, and just missed Johnny Winter when he played the second set. Free Music Review: Two of his best!

This is a great opportunity to have both these albums on CD. I have both on CD and vinyl already, but the remastering is very good. Despite being 30 years since original release they are still a great collection of blues. Check out the re-issued "Johnny Winter" "Second Winter" and "Progressive Blues Experiment" CDs.Free Music Review: About time these albums were re released.

Having owned both of them on vinyl since the late 70's I was amazed to see that finally they are out together no less.Two great albums by a man on top of his game. By the way my turn table has gone the way of the steam engine but the albums are still in pristine order.Free Music Review: JW in His Prime, Taking His Time

Firstly, you probably already have these on vinyl and want to know if the quality is there. Yes, these are Sony authorized productions. In fact, they are digitally remastered...it's sounds great, no worries. And yes both albums are on a single CD. Nothing But.. has been out for years and is a great blues album. Backed by Muddy's band including James Cotton on harp, this recording of original material has JW singing good time, rough, heartfelt blues. Unlike the earlier arena rock albums, he slows it down and delivers core blues. Also the relaxed time and fun in studio really comes through here. Now this is the first I've found White, Hot & Blue on CD, and thank God for that. This is a total gem of a recording. Same core blues, but definitely more plugged in. Backed by a very tight group of smoking players, this finds JW on primarily covers, putting the originals in their best possible light. The surprise is Pat Ramsey on harp, I can't say if he's technically great, but he sounds awesome. The best description of this album, "slinky." These recordings supported JW on tour enlightening us to purely American music played by a man that can only be described as a National Treasure. I dare you to listen to these recordings and be in a bad mood.
