Johnny Winter is Johnny Winter's second studio album, released in 1969. UK CBS issued this as a nine track in late 1969 in both stereo and mono (S63619/M63619). This album may have been intended as a Quadraphonic album as a 4-channel reel was prepared but to this day remains unreleased.
Johnny Winter's eponymous 1969 Columbia release announced loudly that there was a new guitar-slinger on the scene. The barnstorming 9-song set features audacious covers of such blues classics as B.B. King’s “Be Careful with a Fool,” Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Good Morning Little School Girl,” Robert Johnson’s “When You Got a Good Friend” and Lightnin’ Hopkins’ “Back Door Friend," not to mention two scorching Winter originals in “Dallas” and “I’m Yours and I’m Hers.” Truly as hard-hitting and blues soaked as it was over 40 years ago!
When an international weekly magazine calls a musician the “white pope of black art”, then it sounds suspiciously like charitableness towards a blues musician in his prime, whose good years are in the past. As if! In the case of Johnny Winter, the reviews of his 2011 tour were just as glowing as in his early years, when Rolling Stone magazine described the gaunt Mississippi bard as “a cross eyed albino with long fleecy hair playing some of the gutsiest fluid blues guitar you have ever heard”. Intentional or not: Winter was able to win for himself some of the ‘rocker’ laurels that were reserved for the young Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. But Winter let everyone know that he was only interested in the blues, gutsy, evoking Howlin’ Wolf’s and Muddy Waters’ growling groove, yet nimble-fingered enough on the strings to conjure up astoundingly sleek garlands of sound that fit precisely into each bar of music.
Winter remained pretty cool when people attempted to identify personal afflictions in his music: “When I play blues, I feel good” he stated to a journalist. That the same goes for over 40 years ago is substantiated by both sides of this album.
