"Scorchin'has some good tracks including Dallas,Walking By Myself, Mean Misteater and One Step At a Time. Johnny's brillance is evidenced here. If you like guitar slingin', rockin' blues you'll like this album. This not Winter's best, but still is a very good album. Album actually sounds better on the second and third listen. If your only going to by one, other than a boxed set buy Captured to get Johnny's best work. Captured rocks. Scorchin' is more traditional blues than Captured which is more Classic Rock oriented with some blues. Johnny Winter is one the best Guitar and Singers of his genre, if you've not familar with his work this is not a bad get acqauinted album."

The man can play the blues!

"Johnny Winter has rockin' good time blasting out blues tunes collected from the 60's and 70's. His playing ranks with any great blues guitarist, and his vocals have the raw edge to pull of these "scorchers." Five of the cuts are his own compositions and his songs stand up against classic blues tunes like "Mean Mistreater" so well only a true blues archivist would be able to tell the difference. The jam on "Mean Town Blues" is a phenomenal closer to the CD. A great collection of some of Winter's best work."
