Only ONE thing could have made this a better CD..........2007-01-10

This awesome rock & roll album would have been even better had it included just one thing: the SINGLE version of "Free Ride", available on the "Edgar Winter Collection" from Rhino. It was the followup single to their huge hit "Frankenstein". Like Three Dog Night and a few other artists back in roughly that same time frame, a trip back into the studio was made to create even hotter versions of the songs to be played on the radio. The single version of "Free Ride" is just that much hotter, that much punchier and that much more full of life....and was a huge hit itself! One listen and you'll see what I mean. I'm not saying the album track isn't good...I'm just saying the single version just jumps right out at you, daring you to resist it. As for the rest of the album, I can't say anything that most of these other reviewers have said. One of the best of the 70s, full of great rock & roll music and a pure joy to listen to!

Monster Album!.......2006-11-26

Arguably, Edgar Winter Group's best album, this chart topper fused standard rock with `monster rock' and plenty of synthesizers. Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer cut loose with these self penned songs. "Hangin' Around" and "Alta Mira" are fun dance rock numbers that portray Winter at his best. "Free Ride" and "We All Had A Real Good Time" became FM rock standards with their `party on' style. Not to pigeon-hole themselves as purely hard rock, "Autumn" is a rare and unexpected ballad showcasing the groups songwriting skill. Of course, "Frankenstein" was the monster hit here and it combined a new found use of loud drums and maximum synthesizer along with unique guitar riffs and Winter's own splendid saxophone. It's a killer album that stands the test of time.

Remarkable! Exciting and Yet Oddly Charming.......2006-07-17

I had really ever only known about Edgar Winter from their occasional spots on classic rock radio, with their tunes Frankenstein and Free Ride, never really thinking about what other type of music they made and shrugged them off as no more than a one-hit wonder.

But one I picked up the album about six months back and have listened to it probably fifty times through. It is very hard for myself to start playing it and switch to something out on my playlist without listening to it in its entirety. While none of the songs in my mind (except for Frankenstein) truly stick out (which is possibly why it is not more well known,) the album gels together as a whole so well that few albums match it in terms of pure consistency.

While many of the songs seem simple in appearance, the instrumentation, the dynamics, and the full-blown singing of the more uptempo songs give a level of sophistication, yet remarkable, fun sound to each and every song, all the while staying unique from every other. Added to this, is the even more surprising fact that the two love songs, Round and Round, and Autumn, are two of the most beautiful songs to ever come out of a rock album, let alone a hard rock one.

Hanging Around is one of the best openers one could ever hope to have for an album, infectious, fun, spirited, truly awesome.

When It Comes is possibly the raunchiest sounding Edgar ever sounded (if that's really him singing, I'm not really sure since it sounds as if there are nine different voices singing each of the songs with lyrics), other great, fun sounding song.

Alta Mira is very quirky, yet charming song that you can't help but sing along to. Has an almost Jamaician sound that makes it all the more infectious.

Free Ride needs no explanation, as it's impossible to live past the age of 10 and not have heard the song at least once.

Undercover Man is probably the only weak song on the album if only for the ending which I think it stretched out just a bit too long. Although, it's Edgar in very fine form in terms of loud, almost off-kilter singing.

Round & Round is possibly my favorite song on the album, with its wonderful mix and acoustic and almost country-rock sound. Beautiful.

A ridiculous change of pace from Round & Round (although that's not a bad thing.) The song is basically self-evident from the title... Rock and Roll Boogie Woogie Blues. It delivers perfectly.

Autumn, as said before, is quite possibly the most beautiful rock song I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Beyond gorgeous.

And almost lastly, another huge change of pace with quite possibly a song that perfectly exemplifies the college spirit (woot), with We All Had a Real Good Time. If there's a better song out there that keeps the fun, youthful spirit of us kids and of the basic tenets of Rock n' Roll, I've yet to hear it.

Well, if you're not convinced, then its at the fault of this reviewer and not the album.. for it is truly one of the best hard rock has to offer. Better than anything Skynyrd or Ted Nugent or Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin has to offer. And that's no lie. A wonderful standout from 1972 (although it's difficult for me to say that definitively, since I was -13 at the time.)

A classic Rock And Roll Masterpiece.......2006-07-07

I purchased this album only yesterday and have listened to it over and over again. This is truly one of rock's few masterpieces. Hangin around is a fun opening song. Alta Mira is a nice rock and roll song. Free Ride is great well mixed too. And who could forget Frankenstein the masterpiece of masterpieces this is the best song in the whole world. You will be happy with your purchase.

Perfect Album..............2006-03-13

About the time this record came out, but before I ever heard of it, I saw the EWG at a roller rink in Elizabeth, NJ with my friends. They opened up with "Keep Playin' That Rock and Roll" but unlike the White Trash version with horns, it was dominated by Ronnie Montrose' raunchy guitar and I fell in love. I went as soon as I could to Korvette's, where I bought most of my records in those days, to get the new LP that Edgar mentioned while on stage. I took one look at the cover and said, "What is this......" I was happy that I bought it and I still go back to it frequently. In fact, I am probably in the minority here, but "Frankenstein" is my least favorite song and I usually skip it. But listen to all the other songs, starting with "Hangin' Around" and "When it Comes" and you will be hooked quick. The slow ballad "Autumn" and the latin sounding "Alta Mira" sound different, but all the tracks add up to one of the greatest LP's ever recorded. In my opinion, Edgar Winter never reached this level again.

I will never forget...........2006-10-19

That day in 1969, I bought this album, put it on my hi-fi, and found out what blues guitar was all about. This is one of a handful of albums that I always have kept close at hand and updated. I saw Winter live in 1970 in Columbia, SC. He had then picked up Rick Derringer and was touring about the South with The Allman Brothers. I will never forget the sight of Winter thrashing about the stage his fingers a blur of white lightening: His pale skin and white hair were so exaggerated because he was otherwise totally dressed in black. What a show that was. Until this album was released, I thought I had heard what rock/blues guitar sounded like via the albums of Cream, Hendrix and the like...but for my money, if it's pure, nasty, sliding blues guitar you want, you won't do much better than this album. It's a classic sounding as good today as it did 37 years ago; it's truly one of a kind. This is definitely an album for anyone who loves the blues and wants their collection to be complete. This is a no brainer...

37 years later!.......2006-10-04

I bought this album in 1969 when I was in high school, and I was completly blown away. By the time I graduated from college I had pretty much worn it out. This year I "rediscovered" it on CD. It's still one of the best examples of blues guitar I have ever heard, and I've been listening to it at least once a week for the last 5 months. I'm still trying to figure out which version of "Dallas" I like better. (The next album I bought was BB King Live and Well, but that's another story).

A Great Album!.......2006-06-26

Johnny Winter is quite simply excellent on guitar and vocals, John Turner and Tommy Shannon Round out his trio solidly and guest appearances from Water Horton, Willie Dixon and John's brother Edgar make the music excellent. The songs "I'm Yours and I'm Hers" and "Dallas" are quite different and both great, excellent sound quality and liner notes.

Now for some serious blues guitar.......2006-03-10

Thanks to the reviews that came before mine. I had been looking for a Johnny Winter cd (having nothing by him) and the reviews on this page convinced me to start here.

Glad I did. As a guitarist I am blown away by Winter's approach to the blues. No compromises to the current music scene going on in '69. This guy just brought the serious, serious blues to this album. He burns through a set of standard blues songs leaving the listener dumbfounded.

His brother, Edgar, joins him on a couple of tunes with keyboards and horns. Most of the songs are performed with just bass and drums backing up Johnny's guitar.

The sound of this remastered cd is incredible. I still have a hard time believing this was recorded in 1969. The only let down - it's kind of short. But that's not a real drawback. It's so good you'll just put it on replay or shuffle.

Along with the original album artwork you get a short but informative write-up on what led up to the recording sessions for this debut.

If you're a fan of Hendrix, Page, Clapton, and Beck and haven't heard Winter then this just might be like Christmas day for you.

Mess'n With A Fool.......2005-09-25

I bought this LP in 1969. I then toiled for hours teaching myself how to play the lead in Messn with a fool. The technique, tone and style of JW at his peak is still unsurpassed. The music is simple put JW's guitar is a hurricane unleashed. His singing is also excellent. This man is no rock n roll blues afficionado. This man is the real deal.

Classic Album.......2007-06-28

This is one of the best live rock/blues preformances I have ever heard. Johnny was at the top of his game!!

Good but a little overrated .......2006-12-31

I don't mean Johnny is over rated cause he wrote the book . The Sound quallity is a little lacking on Live And ... Derringers Guitar is a lot Lower in the mix than Winters .The song list is good but better on other live albums like Walking by my self and Lone Star shoot out .There are great versions of JJ Flash and JB Goode on here . A drum solo and a full lenghth guitar spotlight solo arn't really needed here , there are to many other songs they could be jamming on .
I saw johnny and Edgar at the 97 show they recoded in NYC , Johnny and Edgar dual back and forth Edgar on Sax Johnny ,guitar. Loud and Clear

Katie, Bar the Door........2006-12-26

This is one of my top 10 favorite rock guitar albums of all time. The energy captured on this live session is unbelievable. Rarely have I heard 2 guitarists propel and counter one another like Winter and Derringer do here. Sure some of the material is overly familiar (Johnny B. Goode, etc), but after hearing these versions of the songs, most others pale in comparison. Tight and driving stuff here. Check out this rhythm section!
Considering the deluxe treatment recently given to Second Winter, I can't help hoping that the PTB will see fit to offer a remixed and expanded version of this recording...and SOON.

Nothing like it on the planet.......2006-11-20

One of my huge regrets in life is not being at this concert. Missing Cream at Fillmore West is the other.

That being said, if you own 2 rock CDs, this should be one of them. It is one of the top five rock albums of all time and the hardest of the Johnny Winter albums, played when he was at his absolute peak. Not only that, playing off with Rick Derringer at his career peak, and the solid bass of Randy Jo Hobbs, and the driving intensity of drummer Bobby Caldwell will kick your body and head and leave you breathless, gasping for more. You WILL replay it, louder.

Every song is excellent, from memory: It starts with Good Morning Little School Girl, an old Chuck Berry song gone berzerk. Next is the most perfect rock 'n roll song - ever, period: Jumpin Jack Flash. OMG! C. Michael Bailey from All ABout Jazz says, "Jumpin' Jack Flash is as final a statement in Rock Music as can be hoped for". Or might I add, possible. It starts fast and rises perfectly to a peak and then comes down to just the right place. Next we're gonna slow things down and do some blues for ya - yeah, right: Its My Own Fault: The rhythm is blues, but the guitar is blazing fast. How does he do that? Next is the Rock 'n Roll Medley, a rising intensity of insanity thinly masquerading as three old rock 'n roll songs climaxing in a guitar explosion. Mean Town Blues is next, are you ready for it? No rest for you yet - A nine minute flaying of your sensibilities, the pace is laid down by a relentless Caldwell and wired over with almost sadistic guitar work. The drum beat increases in speed and ferocity to near insanity. Johnny B. Goode is last, but not least; a fast riff on riff slamming the album's door shut in your face. There isn't a mistake in the whole album, just an intensity that most guitarists can't even dream about.

These boys are the best; at their best. And they'll leave you breathless and wanting more.

Well?

GREAT ROCK AND ROLL.......2006-05-25

JOHNNY WINTER HAS HAD SEVERAL PHASES TO HIS CAREER. THIS ALBUM DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 70'S, WHEN HE WAS PLAYING STRAIGHT AHEAD ROCK AND ROLL, WHICH HE HASN'T DONE NOW IN OVER THIRTY YEARS. WHILE HIS LATER AUTHENTIC BLUES MUSIC IS GREAT, THIS ALBUM JUST GOES TO ANOTHER LEVEL, WITH ITS HARD DRIVING RHYTHM, AND SCREAMING GUITARS (WITH RICK DERRINGER). IF YOU LIKE ROCK AND ROLL YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM.

This is in my opinion the best JW cd of them all. The bonus tracks are absolutly must haves. This is one of the best blues/rock album you will find.

Second Winter is "First" in My Book.......2007-04-03

Awesome follow-up to Johnny Winter. As amazing and great as the previous album is, I have to give Second Winter the edge with regard to preference. This two-disc "Legacy Edition" is broken into two parts-
Disc One- The original LP + 2 bonus tracks
Disc Two- The legendary previously unreleased Live At The Royal Albert Hall concert recorded on April 17th, 1970.

The sterling remastering on disc one and the treasure that is disc two make this a must-own for anyone interested in late 1960's blues or hard rock.

SIX stars--indispensable for all blues-rock fans!!.......2007-01-13

This album is the greatest re-release ever in the history of rock--period! Not only is the studio (original) portion of Second Winter an absolute gem, the live recording newly added here is even better! This package goes right alongside the Allman Brothers Fillmore East recordings as the greatest blues-driven rock guitar music out there--long overdue! Johnny will blow you away with his smoking guitar chops and soulful singing. And when he starts the intro guitar solo to B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault", you would swear you were listening to B.B. himself! The rapid-fire licks he throws off during "Mama, Talk To Your Daughter" are wicked.

A young Edgar Winter joins him onstage for the last half of the concert to show off his own prowess on keyboards, sax, drums, and vocals. Also a talented guy, no doubt. Sometimes his screechy falsetto gets a little old--that's my only gripe on this whole package. But's it's not enough of a blemish to take away from this being the most indispensable release of the past few years!

If you've seen Johnny Winter recently in concert, you know as well as I that he's past his prime, bless him. Well, Second Winter is his prime, for sure, so if you're not too familiar with early recordings of Johnny, you are sorely missing out. Miss out no more, and get this CD package!!!

Prior to hearing 'Second Winter,' one of my favorite electric Blues tunes had been when then-unknown Johnny Winter joined Michael Bloomfield on stage at the Filmore East and played an unbelievable 11 minute version of BB's 'It's My Own Fault.' I highly recommend getting your hands on that, but the slower 12 minute version included here is equally as good. It really showcases Johnny's amazing ability to combine lightning-fast speed with deep, emotion-jarring blues. This Cd validates that Johnny was one of the best Blues-Rock guitarists during his prime era. Another great blues track on this CD set is the live version of the classic 'Mama Talk to Your Daughter.' If you're looking for more great slow blues by Johnny, look for 'Be Careful with a Fool,' 'Life is Hard,' and 'You Keep Saying that You're Leaving.'

Just About His Best.......2007-07-10

Johnny Winter made a lot of great albums but, to me, "Still Alive and Well," produced with Rick Derringer, stands out as even better than the rest. This album marked tbe high point of his career.

"Rock Me Baby," "Rock N' Roll" and the title track are probably his most remembered from this album, but "Cheap Tequila" has always been my favorite. Another great track is the country and westernish "Ain't Nothing to Me": Like most great C&W tunes, it's all in the lyrics. And I don't want to leave out mention of the two covers of Rolling Stone songs, "Let It Bleed" and "Silver Train." Although it appears on the Stones' "Goats Head Soup" album, "Silver Train" was actually written by Jagger and Richards specifically for Johnny Winter.

There isn't a weak song on the album and, with the CD, you get two excellent bonus tracks that weren't on the original LP: "Lucille" and a kick a** version of Bob Dylan's "From a Buick Six."

Bye the way, Johnny Winter is still alive and well, although every now and then I think it's kinda hard to tell...

Pure Art!.......2007-04-04

Johnny Winter made the mean and nasty blues/rock gutair sound a staple. No other can compeat. Excellent recording.

I just wish the bonus songs had Johnny's signature gutair tracks on them, but hey, still superb!

I love this album!.......2007-01-05

This album / CD rocks! Can't stop playing it! Nuff said.

This album came out before i was born!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-03

And it is one of my all time favorites!!!!!!
I got it when Wherehouse music was going out of business-all the cassettes were 1/2 off. I got it just because I had "heard of" Johnny Winter. So I drove home with about 7 tapes and listened to this one and then the next........ A week later I was thinking of the songs on it and have been a fan since. Its got that vibe that great records have. I was floored by the slide work.I love this album. It is unlike his other albums as he is avid blues player. But on this album and another he lets go and rocks with the best. Give this one a chance and see what you think.

Polished , Hard And Maybe His Best Circa 1973 and 1974.......2006-12-25

Johnny Winter was poised and achieved heavy acclaim at the time of this release and his next "Saints @ Sinners" which also should not be missed for relative tight blues rock so in tune at the time....hailed as "comeback", Indeed, Still Alive and Well is a solid recording and this fine sounding CD featured tight blues from this Powerhouse Trio...An occasional mellotron (Todd Rundgren), piano and flute sweeten out the mix as the Winter band never strays from it's roots covering usual old blues covers, new tunes from the band and the occasional Stones (and bonus Dylan Cover) covers, in this case a really fine reworking of "Silver Train" that was heavily played on FM radio in New York at the time of "Goats Head Soup" while also covering the Stones "Let It Bleed"..
Dylan's 'From A Buick 6" (Highway 61 Revisited)is an added workout,Rick Derringer's "Still Alive And Well" is a kicker and the sweet "Cheap Tequila" and low down accoustic "Too Much Seconal" are the standouts.

White Trash were an interesting band of jazz,soul,funk,gospel all rolled into one large cacophony of sound reminiscent of what was going down at the time with the likes of Delaney @ Bonnie, Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Blood Sweat @ Tears, The Flock..The maniacal screaming albino keyboard rocker Edgar, whose blues man brother Johnny Winter joins him on a track released this 2 LP LIVE set that is all shucking and jive, good musicians with the likes of Rick Derringer and Jerry LaCroix, an audible horn section ..all pretty unique stuff where musicianship was all very important.
Edgar Winter was a trip.

Great album -- really captures the concert feeling.......2007-02-03

This one is about having a great time with a BIG band, soulful grooves, horns, and a lot (maybe too much) of screaming. It's a little sloppy at times, "Tobacco Road" goes on a little too long, but you also get Jon Smith's wonderful sax work, some of Rick Derringer's best playing, and an overall feeling of energy and interaction and love of the music that puts a smile on your face. I had the good luck to see this band in the early 70s at the Academy of Music, and while I kept waiting for Johnny to show up (he didn't), it was still one of the most exciting (and loud) nights of live music I've ever experienced. "Save the Planet" is like going to church.

UNDERRATED.......2007-01-09

AS MY TITLE INDICATES >>THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING LIVE BANDS ON ANY TOUR. THIS GROUP IN MY OPINION WAS VASTLY UNDER-RATED. 'ROCK AND SOUL' LIKE YOU NEVER HEARD IT>THESE GUYS WERE SO GOOD ,THEY SHUOLD HAVE BEEN BLACK. yES A TERRIBLE RECORDING , NO DOUBT, BUT YOU GET THE 'LIVE FEELING FROM THIS RECORDING, AND THE ARRANGEMENTS IN REGARDS TO ALL THE MUSIC >>>>IS FANTASTIC.i OWN THE ALBUM, AND THE CD >? I LOVE THE HORRIBLE RECORDING ON THE ALBUM>>THE CD HAS LOST ALL THE FAT IN THE BOTTOM END .

Peels the paint off the walls.......2006-02-11

I first heard this album in the early 70's in high school. Now I've turned my own kids (21, 20, 16, 16 and 13) onto it. They can't believe that you could once go into a club and hear bands like this LIVE. They only listen to classic stuff I give them now; there's nothing on the radio that remotely comes close to the gut-wrenching energy of great musicians playing live at full throttle. If you only know Edgar Winter from his "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride" days, you've got an eye-opening experience ahead of you. Listen in particular to Edgar's 18 second full-throated stratospheric sustained vocal in Tobacco Road. You could refinish furniture by putting it in front of the speakers with this song turned up. An absolute MUST HAVE CD.

"People keep askin' me - where's your brother?".......2005-11-23

It's truly a shame that more people aren't familiar with this album. Simply put, Roadwork has got to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. From the gospel-tinged "Save the Planet" to the raw blues of "Tobacco Road," this recording just grabs you right from the first song and just won't let go. In addition to being an amazing keyboard and saxophone player, Edgar Winter is an incredible vocalist. When you add the incendiary Jerry La Croix, an equally amazing vocalist, the result sends chills down your spine. For you guys who are air guitar specialists, I recommend that you check out Rick Derringer's rendition of Chuck Berry's "Back in the USA." Derringer proves beyond a doubt why he's a legend on the six string. But it's not enough just to have Rick Derringer on the scene. Edgar introduces his brother Johnny for a fiery version of "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo."There are so many highlights on this recording that it's hard to select just one as a favorite. Certainly one of the highlights is "Tobacco Road." After you've heard Edgar Winter's White Trash work out on this cut, it's just like there's nothing more to be said. If I had to pick just one cut to represent the genius and passion of this album, I'd go with the old rhythm and blues classic "Turn on Your Love Light." Listen as the horns blast out that classic riff and then let Jerry La Croix take you on a trip where the soul of man never dies. This is rock n roll with a vengeance! Or, as Jerry exhorts the crowd at the Apollo: "If you feel like lettin' it out, hot damn, let it out."

Album Description

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.

Guess I'll Go Away.......2007-05-09

Just spent an afternoon surfing Winter Websites, & I'm surprised that no-one mentions 'Guess I'll Go Away'; the opening track that for me led to an interest in Johnny for years to come. I Mean 'R&R Hootchie Koo' & all are fine, but as a 13 year old guitar freak, hearing that for the 1st time really opened my mind. (I don't just mean the 'flanging', I'm still not sure of the time signature in this) A shame he didn't do much more in this vein. This album & 'Still Alive & Well', still do it for me, and are among my all time faves, but non of them are free of 'filler'..

Winter sets the standard for classic guitar ballad.......2007-04-19

The album JOHNNY WINTER AND provides guitar purists with one of rock's great guitar ballads, LET THE MUSIC PLAY. From the moment the first Am is strummed, the guitar player knows this song is a serious attempt at classic rock guitar.
Winter and fellow guitarist, former McCoy's guitarist, Rick Derringer take the listener into a soulful journey of guitar playing that actually over power the lyrics of the song. From the first hard hitting lick of the lead intro, LET THE MUSIC PLAY definately puts Winter into the league of other great rock guitarists, leaving the throne of the white blues guitarist and claiming his place in the 'hallso of great rock guitar' with all the drama and imagery we guitarists so love from this genera. The rest of the album is great, but LET THE MUSIC PLAY will always be one of my top ten guitar ballads. If for nothing else, buy this CD for this song. I assure you, the rest of the album won't dissapoint.

Johhny Winter And review.......2007-04-07

this is a great old record,...the songs are well written.theres some good playing by all concerned.it also features Rick Derringers brother on drums,who was listed as Randy "Z" for whatever reason.(???) overall,for those who remember when this came out(1970) its really great to re-visit these songs once more on cd.
now all we need is for Rick to re-release 'good dirty fun' again on cd and the edgar winter group (blue cover with the crazy 'light tube lp)) and also the live lp of Johnny and edgar..that was a good one too....

A tough one to find. I got lucky. The first meshing of two emerging forces(Winter and Derringer). A whole lotta' skakin' goin' on!

perfect blend of blues and rock and roll.......2007-02-08

A truly forgotten classic, the best recording by either Johnny Winter and Rick Derringer, no small claim since they both did excellent work on their own and with others. Together here for the first time, their combination of sizzling blues guitar and rock and roll chops meshed perfectly. Winter's leads and especially his slide playing throughout this recording are top notch, and Derringer's interplay with him is inspired as well.
The songs are strong, with Derringer contributing four excellent tunes including his "rock and roll hoochie coo", which he would record on his own and score a big hit just a few years later. I prefer the version on this album. "on the limb" is a fine rocker with slick slide work from Winter and alternating lead vocals from Derringer and Winter.
Winter's compositions are great also, especially "prodigal son" which has one of the greatest guitar solos I've ever heard. Johnny's vocals are soulful and strong throughout the album, his singing on "nothing left" is especially emotive.
The covers chosen here are fantastic, including a killer version of one of my favorite songs, "no time to live" from Traffic's 2nd LP. "let the music play" by Allan Nicholls and Otis Stephens is a standout track also.
Derringer's brother Randy contributes one song, "am I here?" which has a fresh approach and arrangement which contributes to the variety of the recording.
This band would record a great live LP and then split up, but for this short time they were among the best, and this is one of the finest LP's released in 1970. I have not heard any CD version of this, as I am still listening to my original vinyl which is smoking hot. If you appreciate late sixties British blues ala Clapton,Page,Green,Simmonds,Alvin Lee,etc. and Hendrix,ZZ Top,Allman Bros.,Skynnyrd, you will certainly love this.

This 16-track anthology spans the first decade of albino Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter's career, especially the early (1969-'73) Columbia albums that built his legend. While some purists have groused at his often manic precision, this collection makes a point of underscoring his impressive range as a musician. The fervent gospel-blues of "I'll Drown in My Tears" showcases Winter's vocal stylings (and is one of several tracks featuring brother and frequent sideman Edgar), then segues neatly into the spare, acoustic heat of the dobro-'n'-flute rarity "Come On in My Kitchen." But the emphasis is on Winter's showy rock star turns and the collaborations with his potent band (and fellow axeman Rick Derringer and his cohorts from the McCoys, of "Hang on Sloopy" fame) on "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," "Still Alive and Well," and forceful live workouts of "It's My Own Fault" and "Mean Town Blues." His original, late-'60s power trio is on display here, too, and that small, formidable outfit can't help but emphasize the debt that Stevie Ray Vaughan and many of his musical progeny owe Winter. Indeed, Winters's bassist in the trio was none other than Tommy Shannon, who would enjoy another turn in the spotlight a decade later in Vaughan's Double Trouble. If American electric blues is your gospel, this collection should be one of its cornerstones of faith. --Jerry McCulley

BLUES BABY.......2007-04-05

You know if Johnny did't exist you would have to think he was a work of fiction cooked up in some promoters mind in the late 60's high powered Blues Boom. Johnny was certainly in the ritht place at the right time. The man was the real deal with a depth of talent rarely seen...and he was well versed in a lot of music styles besides the blues and thats what sets JW apart from the crowd--besides being a 6' albino from Texas. All in all this is a great collection of songs from an American Treasure..He dam well should be!!

winters attacks the blues.......2007-01-12

I think he is one of the best musicians that has redone the blues, he could play the guitar and make it sound like his second nature

Winter shines in the summer also.......2006-07-13

classic Johnny Winter songs are a haven for old electric blues fans--

Great starter CD.......2004-06-21

This is a great CD to get you going into the world of Johnny Winter.

I'm not too thrilled about the Rick Derringer tune but a little bit of everything is covered here. From the rocking 'Johnny B. Goode' to the slide playing on 'Highway 61 Revisited' to the shredding on 'Hustled Down In Texas' to the melodic blues of 'It's My Own Fault', this is a great buy.

Best of Johnny Winter.......2003-01-01

This is a nice CD that covers the early years of Johnny's career. His range in many aspects is one of a kind. Its nice to feel the music rather than just listen to the music. For all you young rock and blues fans take notice, Johnny truly is an American guitar legend. Go out and get this one now!

Another great album by Johnny. He stays true to blues and rock with this album.

Johnny still the best!.......2007-06-02

Having been a Johnny Winter fan for the past 15 years, and having seen him several times, this album is a great collection for any Johnny Winter fan. It is not his best work, but a good CD non the less. Since it is a 3-piece band, which Johnny prefers, he makes the most of the songs albiet they are cover tunes. I especially like his version of Bob Dylan's "Like a rolling Stone". and "New York New York". The atmosphere of the album seems to be Johnny just having fun, which as we know is when Johnny plays his best guitar!

There's a certain kind of music... got to make you jump and shout!.......2006-11-30

The late 60s / early 70s was a time of remarkable innovation in pop music. (The Beatles were at their zenith; Woodstock had just happened; artists were experimenting.) One of the directions was "rock music with a horn section." (Think "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Traffic," and "Chicago Transit Authority" ... before they shortened their name and started pumping out the smarmy FM-radio ballads.)

Edgar Winter's "White Trash" band emerged from that era, and this debut recording stands up very nicely, 35 years later. Some of it is rockin' soul music, some of it is soulful rock music; all of it features a fat horn section and the vocal stylings of Jerry LaCroix and the ultra-white Edgar Winter. (He and his previously-famous brother, blues guitar-slinger Johnny, are both albino dudes, with white skin and pink eyes. But you'd never guess it by listening to 'em... if I can say so without offending anybody, their music is quite a few shades darker!)

Edgar tells the story of his rise to fame in the autobiographical song "Keep Playin' that Rock 'n' Roll." (a line of which is the title to this review.) It's a good 'un. Other personal favorites: "Save the Planet" (Edgar was WAY before Algore's time, and is more convincing to boot), the blues-soaked "I've Got News for You," and "Good Morning Music."

Blazing rock n' roll.......2006-01-20

I first heard and saw Edgar Winter as a teenager in 1972 quite by accident. I purchased tickets to see Humble Pie at Atlanta's old Municipal Auditorium, White Trash was the opening act, and guess who blew who off the stage? I was mesmerised by the sound and energy of Edgar & White Trash, so was my girlfriend (boy did I get lucky that night!). I soon purchased this album and 'Roadwork' and nearly wore the grooves off both. Keep Playin' That Rock N' Roll is in my opinion the quintesentail rock party tune, can't quit playing air guitar to it. What a great first release by an artist who could not survive the disco blitz of the late 70's. Every rock/blues fan should own 'White Trash'.

First Rocker for Edgar a Gem.......2005-10-12

I first heard Edgar Winter's White Trash as the opening act for Alice Cooper (it was my girlfriend's idea) in a packed arena in the spring of 1972. I was amazed; they stole the show, and I went right out the next day and bought this album.

A better live act than a studio one ("Roadwork", their only other release before Edgar turned pop-disco, is an incredible album), the debut album is nevertheless well-done, and a number of the songs reflect the energy of the group's live performances, especially the gospel numbers "Fly Away" and "Save the Planet", and the Ray Charles cover "I've Got News for You."

You can almost feel the sweat, sawdust, and smoke eminating from the pores of your speakers, and Jerry LaCroix's gravelly voice both blends with and counterpoints Edgar's high-pitched wails as the horns drive the engine.

They reunited for an album years later called "Edgar Winter's White Trash Revisited." A studio effort, it didn't have the quality of tunes or the drive of the original, but it still had those great voices. I'd love to see it on disc one day, as well as the live album Edgar did with his brother Johnny that featured one of the best rock and roll fifties-sixties medleys I've ever heard.

Edgar's debut album, "The Edgar Winter Experience", was a great 'small' album featuring Edgar singing a dozen of his own original jazz tunes, a totally different style. Love to hear that one again, too.

Till then, I'll groove on "White Trash" and "Roadwork."

Underrated Gem.......2005-04-30

On this brass-heavy hard rock album, there is not one track that is not wonderful. From the foot-stomping "Give It Everything You Got" to the burlesque beat of "I've Got News for You", this is a fine, fine album. Standout tracks include "Dying to Live", "Fly Away" and "You Were My Life", although ALL tracks resonate.

If you like Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears or Springsteen and the E-Street band, you gotta get this CD.

Edgar and the Boys Cook on this one!.......2005-03-18

How does one describe Edgar and White Trash? You have to hear 'em to to believe 'em. The album is one of those few great truly creative moments in American music. I first heard this ablbum when it originally came out in 1971, and I've never forgotten any of these songs. Get it and enjoy!

By the way, if you ever get a chance to Johnny Winter's "Jazz Blues Fusion" (1962?) that also is a truly fabulous experience.

Who are these Winter brothers???!!!
