When Johnny Winter emerged on the national scene in 1969, the hope, particularly in the record business, was that he would become a superstar on the scale of Jimi Hendrix, another blues-based rock guitarist and singer who preceded him by a few years. That never quite happened, but Winter did survive the high expectations of his early admirers to become a mature, respected blues musician with a strong sense of tradition.
.......................
Winter's debut album for Columbia was also arguably his bluesiest and best. Straight out of Texas with a hot trio, Winter made blues-rock music for the angels, tearing up a cheap Fender guitar with total abandon on tracks like "I'm Yours and I'm Hers," "Leland Mississippi Blues," and perhaps the slow blues moment to die for on this set, B.B. King's "Be Careful with a Fool." Winter's playing and vocals have yet to become mannered or cliched on this session, and if you've ever wondered what the fuss is all about, here's the best place to check out his true legacy.[allmusic]

Excellent album from an incredible artist. It was one of my first vinyls, I bought with my own money at the late seventies. Thanks for the digital format and for the memories.

Καλό καλοκαίρι. Να είσαι καλά.
Never heard this before so thanks.
I know this album well. The upgraded audio quality of your posts are always appreciated, even for an already familiar album
Hello,
like your blog, see that you have a lot of asian cd's for download. I'm looking for a CD on the BIG Pink label (korean label i think). It's called KIRBY-COMPOSITION. I'm looking for that one quite a long time. Do you have it. I would thank you a lot if you could post this one

Yes I have many Japanese & Korean reissues that's true... but not all... ha ha ha!!!
I must have a listen to it at first especially because it's a Korean & not a Japanese HQ pressing...
"Big Pink" is not "Universal Japan" or EMI!!!!

...The involvement of Ian Paice and the mega rarity means nothing to me.
