NIGHTRIDER - not the dumb old TV show, October 26, 2000
This review is from: Nightrider (Audio CD)
If you don't know Winter and you want to: buy a greatest hits collection. If you know and love Winter, and you are now looking for precious odd gems, then this is one of those discs. Compiled of alternate takes and unreleased gems, NIGHTRIDER is such a blues delight, you will fall into amazement upon how many different styles are represented on this single CD. Winter can play wildly, or quite sad, or quite happy. And all the styles just seem to work. Winter rules. An absolute legend that has captured the hearts (and ears) of many blues fans.

Winterhawk - blues beginner, July 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Nightrider (Audio CD)
I bought this cd because I liked the cover and also because I am trying to learn blues guitar, and who better then Johnny Winter to cop a couple of licks from. This cd shows you what Winter blues is all about. Bad News, three tracks, and Lightning Blues, an unreleased track make it difficult to figure out what goes into making the selection for the released track since all are great songs. The version of Rockin' Pneumonia on this cd just screams "Listen to me" on this cd. Hook You has some blistering lead work on it and Kind Hearted Woman makes you wish you knew who it was the song was about. The only reason I gave it a four was that I wish they filled the space with some live out takes instead of the unrealesed versions.
