Johnny Winter - Step Back [LP] (Colored Vinyl)
Winter has sold over 1.5 million albums in the US alone throughout his career. This new album features Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Ben Harper, Joe Bonamassa, Leslie West (Mountain), Dr. John and a ton more.
"Step Back" was released posthumously. Winter passed away on July 16, 2014 after a concert tour in Europe. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Charts for Blues Albums and Independent Albums, and at #17 on the Billboard 200. "Step Back" also won the Grammy Award for Best Blues Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards as well as the 2015 Blues Music Award for Best Rock Blues Album.
Critical Receptions and Reviews (from Wikipedia):
On AllMusic, Steve Leggett said, "Produced by Winter's guitarist, Paul Nelson, the album is full of gritty, soaring guitar, the kind of straightforward blues-rock style Winter has always been known for, and it's obvious over his last two albums that Winter still found joy and excitement in it all, and he went out playing perhaps as well as he ever had, having learned the nuances of these classic blues songs inside and out.... It's all solid, and it's comforting to know that Winter went out in peace with the blues and his legacy, and most importantly, without his skills diminishing."
In Rolling Stone, Patrick Doyle wrote, "Winter's final album, Step Back, doesn't always match his early grit... [T]he new LP draws from the Fifties electric blues Winter heard as a teenager.... The highlight comes late, when Winter plays a loose solo acoustic take of Son House's "Death Letter" — a rare understated moment that proves even without his Gibson Firebird, Winter could go back to the Delta with the best of them."
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette said, "Based on its selection of elemental blues and rock material, Johnny Winter's Step Back is a logical extension of his previous record, the more literally conceived and executed Roots. The late Texan's final studio album lives up to the broad perspective at which its title hints with diverse arrangements that illustrate his versatility.... Just as Johnny Winter’s live performances in recent years reaffirmed the legitimacy of his influence on generations of musicians, so does Step Back add final punctuation to a life-long statement of musical purpose."
In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Wesley Britton wrote, "... in short order, the vibrancy, energy, and variety of what I heard blew all my preconceived blues away. Instead, I was taken back in time as Step Back is a collection of covers where Winter repeated the same formula of his 2011 Roots where Winter and a cast of all-star friends offered their takes on some memorable rock and blues classics. In a very real sense, Roots and Step Back, both produced by guitarist Paul Nelson, are appropriate full-circle collaborations where Winter et al show their affection for the music that inspired and influenced them all those years ago."
On Write a Music Review, Keith Hannaleck said, "Fortunately for music fans [Winter] completed his final album before passing away and it will likely go down as one of his very best. Step Back is a guitar hero tribute, not just for Johnny but for those players that admired him and had the honor of being part of the project.... Winter’s voice is strong throughout and his guitar playing is clear and concise.... Winter was always a star and before he left this earth he burned as bright as ever with Step Back. I believe he will finally get his Grammy with this monumental accomplishment.... Long live the blues and the music of Johnny Winter; this was one hell of an exit for one of the greatest guitar players on the planet."
