Johnny Winter: Just one artist whose profile was on the rise when he played Woodstock, albinos wraith like appearance suited the skeletal trio lineup and the stark blues they played. While it was somewhat difficult to connect with the gigantic audience during his nighttime set, Texan wasnt so far into his own world that he did not fascinate through the sheer speed and intensity of his playing. He was not self-conscious in the least, relaxed enough, in fact, to offer a newly recorded (at the time) track with brother Edgar; only a slight hint of the more exploratory work this Texan would do within a year, this recording is a valuable document of Winter’s early purist days and further validates The Woodstock Series concept. The bluesman’s Columbia debut is a perfectly complementary companion piece.
Released July 2009 - "Johnny Winter: The Woodstock Experience" by JOHNNY WINTER on Columbia/Legacy 88697 48244 2 is an of 2 CDs set celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the legendary Sixties festival which couples Winter’s self-titled Columbia Records debut LP with a new CD of live recordings from the Sunday that August weekend in 1969.
