his March 2008, definitive rock and blues grooves
truly ignite here once again with the much anticipated release of Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Series Volume Two.
As a second installment from the highly successful- artist approved Live Bootleg Series ( Volume One charted at #15 in Billboard Magazine
Blues Album chart), this disc features six extensive, three decade old performances from the Johnny Winter archives.
This time around, Johnny thematically chose some of his favorite blues songs from artists like B.B. King, Robert Johnson, Willie Brown, and
Jimi Hendrix to make up the bulk of the six rockin’ performances that develops this new Live Bootleg Series Volume Two line- up.
Several of these tracks include the lengthy blues workout of Willie Brown’s “Mississippi Blues”, the hard rockin’ Robert Johnson favorite
“Crossroads” and Jimi Hendrix’s classic “Red House”, making some of these rare recordings their first appearances as authorized Johnny
Winter recordings.
As an added feature, classic photos from his late 70’s period truly add to the vibe of the entire package, which house some of the heaviest
guitar licks to ever be unleashed or waxed by this legendary guitarist.
Check out the roaring leads on his “Black Cat Bone” originally from The Progressive Blues Experiment album and note his defining tribute to
the king, with B.B. Kings’ “Rock Me Baby”.
Johnny is Back! He will be touring throughout the world in 2008. You should also check him out on PBS special with Eric Clapton’s
Crossroads. Johnny is totally at the top of his game in this his fifth decade of making great music, and these rare recordings that make up
Live Bootleg Series Volume Two shed a lot of light on the living legend that is truly the great Johnny Winter.
All master recordings are owned and controlled by Johnny Winter and are compiled from the authorized Johnny Winter Music archives.
