BLUESMAN JOHNNY WINTER PLAYS A VARIETY OF BLUES ! (and it's awesome) June 20, 2007

Seasoned Texas bluesman Johnny Winter has really given us blues fans (and JW fans) a real gift with his 1986 album 3rd Degree. This album is pure blues, from start to finish, in various blues styles and settings. Johnny was 42 years old when this album was released, and he sounds as good or better than he ever has.
The first song, Mojo Boogie is electric slide guitar boogie and sounds perfect. Love, Life, And Money is minor key, slow blues, with Johnny's blazing guitar and world-weary vocals. This stuff is authentic blues, people. Mr. Winter is not just a student of the blues, the man lives it, and you can hear the proof right here in these songs. He goes acoustic, playing his National steel guitar (including slide) on Evil On My Mind and Bad Girl Blues, and acoustic blues has never sounded better than this! See See Baby, I'm Good, and Broke And Lonely are all faster uptempo blues, sounding almost like the rock n' roll Johnny used to play in the early 1970s with his band, Johnny Winter And. Shake Your Money Maker features more electric slide guitar. The title track is down and dirty slow blues, and like every other song on this superb album, it is awesome.
This is the real thing, blues from a master bluesman, in a variety of settings, with friends like Dr. John stopping by to help out. If you like the blues, this is Blues 101 with Johnny Winter teaching the course!
Johnny at his Best January 3, 2007

If you like the blues and when the name Johnny Winters comes up you think of him as a bluesman that tinkered with rock for awhile, then you will not be disapointed with this CD, this is one of his best, great guitar work, great lyrics, mixed well. This is true JW blues guitar at its best.

I just read a review of this album which was written in 2000 and it described johnny as a feeble old man in concert. It is now 6 years later and he is on a nationwide tour. I was planning to take a roadtrip to pittsburgh to see him in April. I now have doubts about this. Can someone who has seen him on this tour tell me if he is worth seeing at this stage of his life?

Everything about this gem from Johnny Winter is utterly superb!
Firstly, the cover is magnificent. It says it ALL. The music contained is beyond comparison, you gain the sense of commoraderie amongst the musicians and they really seem to be enthusiastically involved . Every track is blindingly good.There's an updated version of "Broke & Lonely", a song which he first did way back in the very early '60s. Winters version of Eddie Boyds "Third Degree" is the best version ever done. "Mojo Boogie" blazes from start to finish. Johnny is supported by a tour-de-force band which includes Dr. John on piano. The slow blues songs on here really burn with intensity-- Thankfully by 1984 Johnny had quit using the annoying "phaser'sound that he employed on many of his recordings although he did still use the device on live concerts. The guitar tone for this c.d. is pure and clear.
Some of you may not like extended guitar solos...but not me, especially when it's Johnny Winter. As far as i'm concerned he can make the solos last all day long.
Buy this one. You will not be disappointed.
