Music reviews of Johnny Winter and
Music Review: Seek Out DCC Remaster!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Johnny Winter was signed to Columbia Records in 1968 and for the next decade or so sold a lot of records, beat a harrowing addiction to Heroin, and helped ressurect Muddy Waters' post-Chess career producing the blues giant's superb, final three albums. Sony has remastered Winter's eponymous debut, and issued a 'deluxe' edition of 1969's "Second Winter" (also issued on gold disc by Mobile Fidelity). "...And", Winter's third release, from 1970, somehow has fallen through the cracks. Fans already know that after the McCoys ('Hang On Sloopy', among other hits) broke up
Winter hired the group - most importantly guitarist/producer Rick Derringer - to form And. This album is harder rocking, the blues sublimated within a Stones-like soundscape. And Winter's singing shows greater subtlety than previously. Also the material is very consistent. (A live album, "Johnny Winter And...Live!" from 1971 became Winter's biggest album to date, but to these ears it has dated a bit, relying too much on flash and bombast, despite some dazzling moments). Forget the European edition offered here, which dates from 1993 - the sound is drab and colorless. I'm writing this review to let others know that audiophile label DCC (best known for their exquisite gold discs, remastered by Steve Hoffman) for a brief time had a regular-priced line of silver CDs, and in this case Hoffman beautifully remastered "Johnny Winter And" for release around the turn of the century. Of course the graphics are reproduced exactly down to the last detail(DCC was always way more faithful to such details than DCC - even devoting two booklet pages to repros of the original vinyl LP's side one/two labels!), but the revelation is in the sound. If you have the BGO edition, or an old vinyl copy, this edition will blow you away with its attention to detail, ambience, and warmth. Guitar parts you never noticed, the feel of a great band in the room, cymbals that 'sing'... In my opinion "And" and "Still Alive and Well" (1973) are perhaps Winter's finest albums ever, in terms of quality material, committment, and overall impact, so Winter fans certainly might want to track this one down, unless Sony has plans to reissue their own upgrade soon. Of course it's out of print, but the original (circa 1999-2000) label and serial numbers are: DCC Compact Classics, DZS-194. And good luck!
Description of Johnny Winter and
1970 album from Columbia by the great blues/rock guitarist Winter with Rick Derringer, Randy Hobbs & Randy Z. Contains all 11 original tracks including the hit 'Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo', & the original cover art. For over 30 years, Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without equal. Signing to Columbia records in 1969, Johnny immediately laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues a prime combination for the legions of fans just discovering the blues via the likes of Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. Constantly shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, - Johnny has always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock (a la the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.) Throughout the '70s and '80s, Johnny was the unofficial torch-bearer for the blues, championing and aiding the careers of his idols like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Sony.Blues CDs
