The great Blues and Rock guitar hero Johnny Winter never truly achieved the recognition he deserves as one of the world's best players ever. Anybody following his career for the last 40 years is surely convinced by now that there are very few guitar players who equal Johnny's incredible talent and especially his feel for the Blues. This fourth installment in the series of releases of his live and unofficial recordings is as thrilling as its predecessors, presenting Johnny at his best, which he always is on stage. Here in a trio format with Jon Paris on bass and Tom Compton on drums, he delivers his stunning guitar licks with the usual consistency an proficiency, singing along with his wonderful throaty voice. The material includes several Blues standards and some of Johnny's own compositions. I guess there's little need to expand any further here; anybody who loves Johnny will grab this album instantly and those who don't know him, well, they already lost a lifetime of thrilling music. A must!
