Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Culled from three 1980s Alligator albums--Serious Business, Guitar Slinger, and Third Degree--this deluxe edition finds Texas gun-slingin' guitar wildman Johnny Winter coming at you hot, nasty, and gnarly on 14 strong cuts. Starting off with a blistering nod to Elmore James on "Mojo Boogie," Winter whips a slow shuffle into slide guitar frenzy, and the dizzying blizzard of barbed-wire notes and flashy runs is just beginning. On "Route 90," "Master Mechanic," and, particularly, "Good Time Woman," Winter mates raucous licks with gruff, humorous vocals to sweaty, roadhouse effect. On "Third Degree" and "It's My Life, Baby," the tempos slow down enough for Winter to testify convincingly, though the virtuosic guitar solos continue unabated, featuring convoluted torrents of notes fired off at a bewildering pace. On "Bad Girl Blues," Winter displays his command of acoustic, country-style slide playing and along with his throaty, distinctive voice, he proves as compelling as his more electric self. --Wally Shoup Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great Blues CollectionThis album, an overview of Johnny's work on Alligator, is a tremendous statement of Blues-Rock. Johnny's previous work on Columbia was Rock, with a Blues bent, but this is pure Blues. The song "Third Degree" is worth the price of admission, alone. Play it next to Eric Clapton's verion of the same song, and you'll see what I mean. Rating: - A Remaster from "THE MASTER"This is the best from the best. Let's face it, Johnny is a truly one of a kind and a legend. There is no other sound like his. No one plays the guitar like he does, although many have tried and failed. I'm sure that there are many others that can relate to first hearing Johnny on his debut album. Talk about being blown away! There was no one else like him then, still isn't. I, myself, am an avid fan of the blues. Johnny Winter helped to instill that in me as a young child. I thank Him immensely for that, and for providing us with years of incomparable music. Through the years, I have been in many clubs listening to music. You always get "those" trying to play the guitar, trying to get as many "notes" in as possible. I always think (when they ... Read More: Rating: - Scorching Guitar Work, Great Singing Too!I first saw Johnny Winter on tour in support of his "Let Me In" CD in the early 90's and was shocked to see this frail, ghost-like figure come out on stage, but when he cut loose on the guitar I almost fell out of my seat. The guitar he carries obviously does the talking for Johnny. The "Deluxe Edition" release, which takes cuts from his three Alligator releases, only further illustrates the illustrated man's agility with the guitar. Every song is a gem with relentless guitar work, gravelly Johnny vocals and a blues feel all at once. The guitar work is so brilliant that it almost makes you feel tired, like you played the licks yourself! This is evidenced on "Route 90","Mojo Boogie" and other blues-rockers on this collection. My personal favorite ... Read More: Rating: - Nothing but the bluesJohnny Winter is amazing and this CD shows why. I am a fan of Johnny's 70's work, and I was afraid that his later stuff may not be as good. I picked up this CD and found out otherwise. This material is all from the 80's, but it is just as good as his earlier material. Even if he uses the ugliest guitar in the world, Johnny Winter is a phenomenal blues player. Anyone who likes blues guitar should check this out, and also check out White Hot Blues by Johnny Winter. Rating: - Serious Business!Alligator Records, Bruce Iglauer did a great job of remastering these classic Winter's rockin' blues tunes. The CD features Casey Jones (drums), and Johnny B. Gayden (bass) from Luther Allison's former band as well as some guest appearances by James Cotton, the Mellow Fellows Horns, Uncle John Turner and Tommy Shannon. Johnny Winter was at his best when playing the blues and put out some great stuff with Alligator. Best cuts are "Mojo Boogie", "Murdering Blues", "Third Degree", "Bad Girl Blues", "Nothing But the Devil" and "It's My Life, Baby". This is not a greatest hits CD but it is a good overview of three great CD's--"Third Degree", "Gun Slinger" and "Serious Business". If you like Blues/Rock, check this CD ... Read More: |
