Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | 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. | | | |

 Winter Rocks Out Apr 25, 2001
By Daniel C. Rowe
"Dan"
The only Johnny Winter album with no blues tunes, it was cut on a single day. The rapport between Derringer and Winter is incredible! I love the funk of "Ain't That A Kindness", and the soulful vocal on "No Time To Live". But my two favorite tracks are probably "Nothing Left" and "Prodigal Son", two Winter originals that show he could write heavy tunes with the best of them. Some real Hendrix influences on several tracks. A fantastic record, but the CD is not as clear as it should be.

Just A Little More... Oct 13, 2004
By Sal Paradise
The preceding reviewers have perfectly assembled the essential greatness of this record. Buy it. Buy it now! Johnny Winter is simply one of the best guitarists of all time! I first saw him in 1969 at the Denver Pop Festival...an incredible bonus to my pilgrimage to see Jimi. Johnny was a blues purist yet to be fully amped up which, at 16, I could not yet appreciate. But from a steady diet of Hendrix, supplemented with licks from Cream and morsels from Zappa, I had a pretty good idea of what great guitarists were all about. Johnny Winter had it all.
A year later, I saw Johnny Winter And touring on this record at the old KRNT theatre in Des Moines. Unbelievable! As the previous reviewer suggested of the show he saw at the Fillmore: maximum decibels delivering maximum pleasure. Winter and Rick Derringer live was a wonder to behold. I bought this record just before the concert and, over the next year, I listened to it constantly. Still do.
Now, 35 years later, all the great things said before remain true. And the only addition I can make to the insights that my predecessors have made is that the vocal work on this record is a magnificent time capsule of a style of singing unique to rock recordings at the beginning of the '70s. "Am I Here" and, even more so, "Out On A Limb" showcase this style. It is a lost art but anyone who lived through the period knows it as organic when they hear it.
Johnny Winter has made great music all of his professional life and guitar fans know him to be one of the true masters. This record is essential for so many reasons, not the least of which is that you know how he got here from there.

Totally Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sep 28, 2004
By J. R Sategna
If you love Johnny Winter and love guitar jams you will love this--the sound,however, is not as great as the LP-this should be remastered--hopefully the domestic version will be remastered when it is released. Rick Derringer and Winter go thru some nice guitar battles on this CD--the tunes are great-well written--Funky Music is a 6 minute guitar battle that fades out at the end (why is this? Should have kept going)I saw Johnny Winter And at the Fillmore when this LP came out-it was great-2 hr set -2 sets-my ears were wrecked-could hardly hear for two days after---so loud---GET THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny Collaborates With The McCoys Sep 12, 2004
By Sir George Martini
"Verbalosity"
"And" doesn't sound like the rest of Johnny Winter's blues releases. The album opens with the psychedelic, hard driving "Guess I'll Go Away" which has flanging similar to the Nazz's "Open My Eyes". Things slow down with the Traffic cover "No Time to Live" and "Am I Here?" written by drummer Randy Z (Derringer's brother). I always preferred this version of "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" since it was released first. Derringer's and Winter's guitar styles mesh together in the same way that Duane Allman and Dickey Betts complimented each other. Distortion is present on the original master tapes, but it doesn't ruin the great music on this CD. I recommend the remastered version by Steve Hoffman.

 Guess I'll Go Away May 09, 2007
By Michael McGee
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'..
