Johnny Winter Artist Snapshot:

Texan blues guitarist Johnny Winter, surely the first albino blues guitar hero, was already a convincing artist in the '60s when still in his teens. At the dawn of the '70s, he embraced the sound of the time, adopting a louder, more frenetic blues-rock style. Backed by the McCoys, including guitarist Rick Derringer, he released a series of classic blues-rock albums, while his keyboard-playing brother Edgar, with whom Johnny played on and off over the years, achieved stardom in his own right. At the end of the '70s, Winter produced Muddy Waters, helping him make a triumphant comeback. In the ensuing decades, Winter maintained a prolific schedule of touring and recording.

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.
