An excellent introduction to the early years of Johnny Winter. It shows the scope of this often overlooked musician. A true american genius. "Johnny B. Goode" a ripping version that Chuck Berry would be proud of!!! And he plays it in the key of "B". "Come on in my kitchen" is a beautiful slide piece. And the best tune, in my opinion, "It's my own fault", shows off his vocal range and phrasing and a million guitar licks that every guitar player should know. Awesome and inspiring.

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!

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.
