i agree with the other reviews. for me, this is one of my all-time favorite albums. i first heard it in high school and have listened to it probably a thousand times since then. there is not a bad tune, and for me, the longer electric blues pieces are like hendrix, i keep finding new things to hear.

This is primo stuff. It is Winter before he was discovered, pushed into the limelight, given a backup band with Rick Derringer, bringing him to develop a blue chip addiction problem which kept him out of the music scene for about 10 years. He is back, but this album shows why he is so good. He plays a national steel guitar (which he poses on the cover with) on the accoustic pieces, and it is truly out of this world. He is a mutant, he is so talented. And like another reviewer said, his improvisations are so rich, there is always more to be heard from them. If you like the blues, BUY THIS ONE!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, October 21, 2002

It's almost sickening how many times I've listened to this CD. Back in the albumn days, it was out of print for about 10-15 years, so I went hog wild when it came out on CD in the late 80's. Johnny at his best with his original three-piece power band, Tommy Shannon and Uncle Red Turner. Apparently Johnny was hard pressed for work in the 60's and straight blues was out of style. Red Turner told Johnny that blues-rock was becoming popular at various festivals, so in '68 they recorded this self-produced albumn. Johnny said when he started playing this stuff live, the audience was fallng down crying. Listen to "It's My Own Fault Baby" and you'll hear why.
