Free Music Notes for Second Winter: Legacy Edition (Bonus CD)
Free Music Review: Top of Johhny's Blues/Rock Game!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I must agree with other reviewers Second Winter was Johnny at the top of his Columbia (pre Blue Sky) era and my personal favorite from this his rock/blues period. This Legacy Edition is a must buy for anyone/everyone considering/loving Johnny - "You Know It's True" The added live CD is PRICELESS. BUY THIS CD, You will not be dissapointed, even if you already own a previous release of Second Winter.
The live CD features a young Johnny ALL OVER the fret board.
Johnny Winter IS THE ALL TIME BEST ROCK BLUES GUITAR PLAYER/SINGER BAR NONE. Jimi Hendrix is his only rival and if Jimi had survived he could have possibly had the catalog of recordings that Johnny has produced. I have listened to Johnny for going on four decades now. I saw him perform in the seventies and I saw him perform two months ago. What makes Johnny a living legend, besides his gifted talent, is his ability to consistently produce recording after recording that remain fresh, vibrant and of course full of guitar playing that absolutely no one can match. If you want to test my statement purchase any Johnny Winter recording that he had any say in releasing and listen to it. They are ALL excellent. You will never get tired of his guitar and his voice can not be matched by anyone, not even Edgar.
I have read comments that Johnny's rock stuff is generic. I beg to differ here. The Second Winter lp is proof of this. Johnny Winter was playing guitar at rocks beginnings. He played/jammed with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, played Woodstock, with Bloomfield, Rick Derringer and a host of others. Lennon and the Stones wrote songs for him. He survived his drug addictions of the 60/70's that claimed the lives of so many greats and lived to play and sing about it. Listen to the LP, Still Alive and Well. Those are not just lyrics in songs that sound good like the music of today, that is Johnny singing about his reality. If you see Johnny only as a blues man you are right, but no one rocks or rocks the blues like Johnny.
Second Winter contains the definitive studio version of Johnny B. Goode. Memory Pain is the difinitve power blues number. If you have not heard Johnny's version of Bob Dylan's, "Highway 61 Revisited", well, you have not heard slide guitar yet. The guitar work on "I Hate Everybody" one of my personal Winter favorites is so smooth it still sends shivers down my spine. Johnny may not get credit for starting the power blues movement, but the band of Second Winter certainly defined power blues and set the bar for everyone then and since.
Remember Muddy... "The Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll" ... in my book they named him Johnny Winter.
Don't get me wrong, Johnny's element is the blues. Heck, just ask Johnny.
Johnny is the king of the white bluesmen. If you understand that blues is more than playing certain cord progressions and licks you will realize that Johnny Winter is the only true white (and I mean really white) bluesman. Truly a living legend.
If you love the blues and like to rock, buy Johnny's CDs you will love them all. If you want more blues than rock buy, The Progressive Blues Experiment, his first Columbia recording, "Johnny Winter", and everything that is still available that Johnny had a say in releasing after the Blue Sky release, "Captured Live". You will miss some good blues stuff but you will avoid Johnny's anything but generic "ROCK N' ROLL"
An obvious fan.
