4.0 out of 5 stars FILLS GAPS IN OF SONGS FROM ALBUMS STILL NOT RELEASED, January 14, 2001

his new collection of Johnny Winter White Hot Blues/Columbia-Legacy collects 16 of Johnny's highest powered Rockin' Blues works recorded during his years at Columbia-Blue Sky records '68-'80. The great thing about this collection it contains some of his tunes which have yet to be released on their official album release as of this writing in the U.S. Of the m.i.a. jewels you'll find "Divin' Duck" & "Walking By Myself" from White Hot & Blue, "Rollin' And Tumblin'," "The Crawl" & "New York, New York" from Raisin' Cain. The 16 tunes collected here smoke and set the record straight that Johnny is without a doubt one of the greatest 'white' Bluesmen that ever walked this earth. His commitment to the Blues is as solid as concrete and throughout these tunes one thing is for sure, his blazing guitar work and soulful vocals whether it be on tunes he has covered or wrote...He is the real thing! The re-mastering job on the material is superior and you will here lil' things here and there you have barely heard on the original LP's or first issued CD's. Also included are great liner notes and a couple of cool pixs. This CD is highly recommended to the Blues purist collector, the faithful Johnny fan and any new Johnny fan who needs a good starting point to hear what this guy is all about. Blast this CD and get ready to experience Johnny like never before!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, May 20, 2001

This is a great intro to Johnny Winter's brand of rocking Texas blues. It's a collection of tunes from his first several albums starting with his 1969 debut. If you like blues guitar, this is a must have. From the very first track, a rowdy cover of B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby", you'll be blown away. Johnny is right up there with Stevie Ray Vaughan among the greatest white blues guitarists.

Its hard to explain why Johnny Winter is never mentioned when people talk about the best blues guitarists of all time. Well, not even when they talk about the best white blues guitarist. He can play the blues as hard as Hendrix, SRV or Albert King. He plays with some of that maniac intensity of Buddy Guy or Luther Allison, and he is also pretty good with the slide. 'Be careful with a fool' is one of the best slow blues recordings by any artist, unvelievable.
