PS. .... been a year already, wow.... saw my previous comment... I can't build on that one.... but I had forgotten to say I had also seen him at the Oakland outdoors with about 90,000 other people in the 1970's !!

I really appreciate Johnny Winter for the work he did with Muddy Waters in the late 70's. They released 3 albums on I think the Big Sky label. As I understand it, that project allowed him (Muddy) to actually make some money in his later years, which he had not made earlier because of contact swindels and the like which were so common among black and also white musicians of those days. I think Johnny is one of those great guitarists who lives for the music and the ideal of what the blues is, and really keeps it a sacred place. A lot of people just want to bash that formula over again, that is the bluesrock of Jimi, Clapton, and many others who have done ti well, to get some commercial succes, and it has turned out some real duds. That what I like about Johnny a lot--he has always been a real disciple of the blues as I see it-- in addition to his really kick ass guitar playing.

Saw and heard Johnny tour behind this album at the Guthrie in Mpls. Just wonderful. As a former bassist, Tommy Shannon's longevity, from 69 with Johnny thru the years with Stevie Ray Vaughn never cease to amaze me as well.
