The standard classic repertoire here includes Rollin' & Tumblin', Got Love If You Want It, 44, It's My Own Fault and Help Me, with Winter mixing it up with his original Texas trio of Red Turner on drums and Tommy Shannon (later of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble) on bass. A true classic! 10 tracks.
"....or when my friends and I found it, around when Winters first Columbia release came out...WE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT... Such manic energy, but still with a real blues flavor...'Mean Town Blues', the tune that -did it- for Johnny in the Woodstock movie, is still one of best examples of how an artist can be original and play older style blues at the same time."
Just buy it..

Progressive Blues Experiment

"This is one of the best white Texas blues recordings there is. Word is it was a demo album for Winter, who in his prime easily bested Stevie Ray. I saw Johnny live in LA in 1991, and have never heard anybody play slide better, anybody. You won't be disappointed by this album."
