180g Audiophile White Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso From Original Johnny Winter Tapes! 

Legendary rocker and blues statesman Johnny Winter continues to enthrall audiences the world over. With his unique brand of blues/rock guitar and vocal prowess, Winter’s style is truly unmatched in purity and in star power longevity.

While he tours non-stop, it’s no secret that his live performances are legendary. Fortunately for his huge fan base, Johnny has captured a lot of his concerts on tape over the many decades, which proudly leads us to the latest installment of the chart topping Live Bootleg Series.

For Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Special Edition, the artist surely becomes his instrument in some incredible guitar shredding first time released live performances. The blues wielding axeman steps out with super extended workouts on concert classics like his masterful version of the Freddie King classic Hideaway, blues favorite Ain’t That Just Like A Woman and a stunning rock free for all on the Chuck Berry champion Johnny B. Goode.

Known to write many of his own hit songs, Johnny also dug far back into his archives for two super rare performances for the fans with his classic power blues ballad Stranger and the masterful blues workout on Serious As A Heart Attack.

Always a champion of his favorite bands and artists, Johnny closes out the album with an incredibly rockin’ interpretation tip of the hat to The Rolling Stones with the hard rockin’ Jumping Jack Flash.

Friday Music is very honored to be the home of Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Special Edition. As with previous Friday Music Johnny Winter releases, these are totally authorized and owned/controlled by Johnny Winter himself. Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Johnny Winter/Canned Heat/John Lee Hooker) from the original Johnny Winter tapes at Friday Music Studios, this album consists of his own personally picked archives and will be a welcome collection to any fan of the blues and rock sounds of this Grammy Award winning artist and producer.

In addition to the hard rockin’ blues on this wonderful collection, this limited edition release also will be pressed for a very short time on 180 Gram WHITE VINYL, including the fine album cover artwork, as well as Johnny’s good friend, producer and guitarist Paul Nelson’s penned liner notes.

Johnny Winter It's My Life, Baby 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP


180g Vinyl Only Release Features Eight Tracks from the Alligator Years!

Johnny Winter was a world-famous blues and rock icon for over 45 years. His three mid-1980s releases on Alligator, Guitar Slinger, Serious Business and 3rd Degree, hold a special place in the hearts of his fans, as they heralded a return to his blues roots after years spent lost in the rock ‘n’ roll wilderness. Gone were the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan covers, replaced by deep blues tunes from J.B. Lenoir, Lonnie Brooks, Willie Dixon and more. No-frills production and backing from the cream of Chicago’s blues players make these among the most sought-after albums in Johnny’s catalog, with combined sales of over 250,000 units.

Guitar Slinger and Serious Business were nominated for Grammy awards. It’s My Life, Baby is a vinyl-only release that captures the best of those three incendiary albums. It is pressed on 180g vinyl and includes a limited time download card for the entire record.

Features:
• 180g Vinyl
• Free download card enclosed IF STILL AVAILABLE

NOTHIN BUT THE BLUES - Born and raised in Beaumont, Texas in the 1940s and surrounded by the blues, country, and Cajun music, Johnny Winter and his younger brother Edgar began their careers as kids, performing songs together and winning talent shows and spots on local TV. Before they were even teens, the two brothers traveled to New York to explore their options, and gained exposure to the rock 'n' roll and rhythm & blues of the period which also influenced them profoundly.

During their early teens, the Winter brothers released their first singles, "School Day Blues" and "You Know I Love You" back in Beaumont. By the late '60s, Johnny and Edgar had each forged independent musical identities and developed unique followings, though they continued to collaborate occasionally, releasing albums such as "Together: Edgar Winter and Johnny Winter Live" (1975),

One of the most significant aspects of both men's work, however, was the fact that it revealed a deep respect for the African-American blues tradition, incorporating many of its elements, despite significant racial barriers that existed at the time. Also, rather than trying to downplay their unusual looks, the Winter brothers embraced them, using them to fuel their flashy rock-star image.

The Winter brothers each managed to reach a high level of commercial success around the world, releasing several very popular solo albums and playing sold-out concerts. Johnny received multiple Grammy Award nominations for his work, and Edgar became a pioneer of electronic rock, one of the very first musicians to use the synthesizer as a lead instrument in studio recordings and in live performances. The careers of both brothers have spanned almost five decades.

This album came out in 1977, the same year as Muddy Waters' excellent comeback-album "Hard Again", which Johnny Winter produced and played on. And here on NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES, Winter fronts the mighty Muddy Waters band, leading them through a very well-arranged set of his own compositions, and a powerful rendition of Muddy's "Walkin' Thru The Park".

Johnny Winter handles the lead vocals himself (except on "Walkin' Thru The Park"), and his throaty vocals suit these purposely traditional blues compositions pretty well. Winter plays guitar as well, of course, and a little bit of bass and drums, and his acoustic steel guitar playing is particularly delightful.

Highlights include...well, almost every song, actually. The acoustic slide guitar workout "TV Mama" (not the Big Joe Turner song) is sublime, as is the swaggering, harp-driven "Tired Of Tryin'", the thumping, groovy "Bladie May", and the fine "Sweet Love And Evil Women", a showcase for "Steady Rollin'" Bob Margolin, whose shimmering lead guitar lines wind their way all around Winter's gruff, throaty vocals.

Johnny Winter fans seem to be somewhat divided...some prefer his bluesier albums, while others go for his rock n' roll records. This is definitely one for the blues crowd, a really fine collection of original songs, and one of Johnny Winter's best albums. Highly recommended.

MUDDY WATERS WITH JOHNNY WINTER HARD AGAIN - It's seems strange now to think of Muddy Waters having to make a "comeback," but that's what the 1977 HARD AGAIN came down to. The great blues man's first post-Chess recording after 30 years with that company, it marked Waters major-label debut and eventually went gold. The over-60 Waters lived up to all the attention with one of his most energetic, sustained performances, bettering his original version of "Mannish Boy," pushing "Bus Driver" to a raging peak, and generally sounding like the wisest man on record.

Harp player James Cotton and producer-guitarist Johnny Winter are among the support; they both stay out of Waters way and give as good as they get.

Tracks include: Mannish Boy - Bus Driver - I Want To Be Loved - Jealous Hearted Man - I Can't Be Satisfied - The Blues Had A Baby And They Named It Rock And Roll - Deep Down In Florida -. Cross-eyed Cat - Little Girl //

 STILL ALIVE AND WELL - Johnny Winter's "comeback" album from 1973. Johnny is one of the most underrated guitar players that ever picked up a 6-string. While deeply rooted in the blues, Johnny delivers some rippin' stripped-down rock and roll on this album. Production is held to a very minimum of overdubs, and it's basically Johnny with his bass player and drummer. No effects, no slick production tricks, just good old rock and roll. He's one of those rare guys that can just plug the guitar into and amp and rip it up. In addition to his masterful playing, Johnny serves up some of his patented gritty, soulful vocals.

Tracks include: 1. Rock Me Baby - Can't You Feel It - Cheap Tequila - All Tore Down - Rock & Roll - Silver Train - Ain't Nothing To Me -. Still Alive & Well -. Too Much Seconal - Let It Bleed

JOHNNY WINTER AND LIVE -

What energy and passion Johnny put into his live sets. While there is only one original song here ("Mean Town Blues" - and it comes off sounding like a blues classic), the choice of covers is exceptional - from Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis to the Rolling Stones.

I had also forgotten how important Rick Derringer was to this band. He is the perfect foil for Johnny - matching J.W. lick for lick on guitar, playing flawless rhythm, and even singing lead on some of the Rock & Roll Medley. This is an excellent band - probably the best Winter ever toured with. Randy Jo Hobbs (bass) and a young Bobby Caldwell on "percussion" make a terrific rhythm section.

Tracks include: . Good Morning Little Schoolgirl -. It's My Own Fault - - Jumpin' Jack Flash -. Rock & Roll Medley: Great Balls of Fire/Long Tall Sally/Whole Lotta - Mean Town Blues -. Johnny B. Goode

CAPTURED LIVE - There has never been a blues guitarist like him before, or after. The guitar playing between Johnny and Floyd Ratford always seemed to compliment each other to an extreme. Truly amazing are the guitar solos being played at the same time , on top of each other, but without using harmony, yet blending and complimenting each others licks in 2 completely different styles, rather than trying to out do each other.

The blues licks played on "Sweet Papa John" was and still is one of the hottest blues guitar examples of any age. I know there are lots of inspirational bluesmen out there, Stevie Ray Vaughan , Clapton, B.B. King ,Freddie King, Buddy Guy...etc.. the list could go on forever. But Johnny Winter definitely holds his own.

Tracks include: Bony Moronie -. Roll With Me -. Rock & Roll People - It's All Over Now -. Highway 61 Revisited- Sweet Papa John

JAMES DAWSON WINTER III - Tracks include: Rock & Roll People - Golden Olden Days Of Rock & Roll - Self-Destructive Blues - Raised On Rock - Stranger - Mind Over Matter - Roll With Me - Love Song To Me - Pick Up On My Mojo - Lay Down Your Sorrows and Sweet Papa John.

RAISIN CAIN - 2013 ISSUE - "Johnny Winter begins Raisin' Cain, his ninth studio album since signing to CBS Records in 1969 (his records are now issued on the Blue Sky subsidiary), with 'The Crawl,' a rock 'n' roll dance tune, and he ends it with 'Walkin' Slowly,' which employs a Fats Domino-style New Orleans rhythm and the saxophone work of Tom Strohman. The two songs serve to reinforce Winter's allegiance to his roots in ‘50s rock, which define him as much as his blues work. In between these bookends, he presents his usual mixture of familiar cover songs and specially written (by others, that is) material, all of which serves, as usual, to showcase his fast-fingered lead guitar playing."

MUDDY WATERS WITH JOHNNY WINTERS ON GUITAR ON THESE TWO MUDDY WATERS LP'S - I'M READY AND MUDDY WATERS LIVE -

I'M READY - Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) will always be known as one of the founding fathers of modern day blues. His legendary style of playing guitar, his unique vocal prowess and of course his stellar list of classic Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues tunes have all gone on to influence generations upon generations of rock and blues performers worldwide.

 With almost six decades in the music business, this Mississippi native was soon being discovered by a whole new legion of rock and roll fans thanks to his songs being recorded by folks like The Rolling Stones and Johnny Winter.

 As the stars aligned, Johnny Winter would go on to produce and play on his mentor’s masterpiece I’m Ready. Featuring an all-star band with the likes of the legendary Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Walter Horton on harmonica, and the masterful Pine Top Perkins on piano, Muddy Waters I’m Ready would go on to become one of the his most revered albums earning him a Grammy Award in 1978.

 Kicking things off with one of his finest smash hits I’m Ready, Muddy continues to rock the house through a treasure trove of 8 more blues champions which made this one of the most important recordings of all time. The album features classic gems like his classics Rock Me, Screamin’ and Cryin’, and I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man.

MUDDY WATERS LIVE WITH JOHNNY WINTER -   Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) will always be known as one of the founding fathers of modern day blues. His legendary style of playing guitar, his unique vocal prowess and of course his stellar list of classic Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues tunes have all gone on to influence generations upon generations of rock and blues performers worldwide.

With almost six decades in the music business, this Mississippi native began working in the late seventies with one of his biggest fans Johnny Winter, cutting his final four albums for Blue Sky Records, earning both the artist and producer both Grammy Awards for several of them including the live masterpiece Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live. Recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival, Muddy drove the crowd into a frenzy with his famous guitar licks and his Delta growl, truly a thrilling presence on the stage.

Featuring an all-star band with the likes of the legendary late great Johnny Winter on guitar, James Cotton on harp and the masterful Pinetop Perkins on piano, Muddy 'Mississippi" Waters Live would go on to become one of the most revered live albums in modern day Chicago blues history.

Kicking things off with one of his finest smash hits Mannish Boy, Muddy continues to rock the crowd through a treasure trove of 6 more blues champions which made this one of the most important live recordings of all time. The album features classic gems like his classics "She's Nineteen Years Old", "Baby Please Don't Go", and "Nine Below Zero". Noted for introducing his Chicago laden blues style to a whole new generation of guitar players, Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live is just another example of how important this late blues master's music was and still is to millions of fans across the globe.

 CD SECTION - JOHNNY WINTERS TRUE TO THE BLUES 4 CD SET BONUS FOR YOUR HOME AND CAR STEREO

Sony/BMG have produced an overdue four disc retrospective on Johnny Winter, 'True To The Blues,' released two days after his 70th birthday. I'm giving it five stars because most of the music rates it, but if you're a big fan you probably have most of the contents. The only unreleased material is four cuts recorded live at the Atlanta Pop Festival (overdue for a boxed set and DVD itself). I've listed the sources underneath the respective tracks, and links to certain full albums I feel are his best. When trying to compile an artist with the longevity of Johnny there are bound to be fan favorites missing, personally I would've added "Leland Mississippi Blues," "Drown In My Own Tears" and "Fast Life Rider" instead of two versions each of "Mean Town Blues," "It's My Own Fault" and "Highway 61 Revisited" (even though each is studio & live), but I digress. Except for the first two tracks from his debut album on Liberty (now EMI) the rest of the first three discs and initial six tracks on the fourth are from his long tenure on Columbia Records, with his stops at Alligator, MCA, Pointblank, Friday and Sonobeat getting the short shrift. The only studio album not represented is 'I'm A Bluesman,' which some consider his weakest. The best white bluesman bar non, Johnny Winter's output over the years has had an impressive consistency, so if you've only touched your toe in the water before, it's a great set to get.
