"Johnny Winter Johnny Winter And (DCC Compact Classics)Thanks to the gang at DCC Compact Classics we now have blues rocker Johnny Winter's 1970 Johnny Winter And album finally released on CD. This album sounds killer thanks to being digitally remastered from the original master mix tapes. Well all I can say is thank god Sony did not issue it. If Sony even considered it for release, we might be all dead before they would have gotten around to it (and it probably would not be in its original album form anyway!). There is distortion on some songs but no biggie. The distortion is on the original master mixes. Besides...Johnny & Rick Derringer sound great with a little extra `dirt' on they're guitars! Need a real Johnny blast from your `70s classic rock past? Turn up the volume and check out "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo," "Prodigal Son" & Johnny's Hendrixized "Guess I'll Go Away". After those 3 tracks...You got the message. It's all balls to the walls. Now all we need is for DCC to reissue the remaining Johnny Winter CD's that are still unreleased in the U.S. How about John Dawson Winter III, White, Hot & Blue, Raisin' Cain & Johnny & Edgar Winters' Together album next ??? A+."

"i had this lp when it first came out, nothing bluesy about this one, it is in-your-face rock 'n roll of the highest caliber. there are no duds on this disc, just tune after tune of some of johnny's best playing ever. i can't wait until JOHN DAWSON WINTER III is finally released also."

A True Collaboration

"Don't expect this to sound like the rest of Johnny Winter's blues releases. Be prepared to hear a variety of songs ranging from the psychedelic "Guess I'll Go Away" to the Traffic cover "No Time to Live." Rick Derringer's and Johnny Winter's guitar styles mesh together in the same way that Duane Allman and Dickey Betts complimented each other."
