There is also a new documentary that was being shown at film festivals earlier this year that is supposed to be very good. I don't think it has been released on DVD yet but it shouldn't be long.

In my mind, the best ever.

My older brother obviously had a job before me. So he had money to buy great albums that he would always end up finding in my room, on my crappy record player. Deep Purple Made In Japan, any Led Zeppelin and fucking Johnny Winter Captured Live.
We wore the JW vinyl way down.

they are good, but my favorite winter album has always been, and still is, "second winter."

I prefer his albums on the Blue Sky label in the late 70's and his work with Muddy Waters. Saw him on stage twice. I'll miss him.

What's the ugliest part of your body ?

His work at Woodstock was great.

FYI, on his FB page (Johnny Winter) there's some really great and rare recordings being released there everyday. The man was very prolific playing the guitar with his friends and peers so there's a lot of really fantastic tunes on there and pairings you'll really like if you dig the blues.

I'm getting larger as I walk away.

There's an official bootleg series with around ten volumes. I need to own some of that.

Second Winter and Johnny Winter And Live are fantastic. I got Saints and Sinners recently. Saw him first in '74 and again about five years ago. Do also buy his Woodstock CD as Cal recommended.

There is also a live bootleg series I need to start collecting.

The one time I saw him play live was quite a show. It was early 70's in Chicago. He played great, except for the parts when he fell over on stage. Then there was the black woman backup singer. JW kept walking over to her during solos, and grabbing her crotch and dry humping her on the spot. Those parts were really stupid. But when he got down to the business of blues he was shockingly good. A little yin, a little yang....
