Rating 4.5
Great guitar, grating vocals.Granted, it is obvious that the guitar work here, is worthy of placement among the best blues records out there. But as always, Winters vocals range from the grating, to the almost comical charactures, they devolved into later(and not much later at that),in his career.
The guitar work deserves 6 stars, minus 2 for the vocals = 4.bonus winterAlways liked this album, and my favorite track was Ray Charles' "Drown in My Own Tears." What's special about this re-release is that includes another excellently rendered soul gospel tune, "Two Steps from the Blues," in much the same style as "Tears". When Johnny Winter steps back from the over-the-top Howlin' Wolf growl and sings in his natural voice, he's incredible. I give all four stars here for those two songs.
Edgar Winter, by the way, plays alto sax on this album.This is the one.I originally bought this LP 36 years ago. It is still my favorite album of all time. This new release just reinforces my opinion! |
