Bailey's Bundles
The State of Woodstock 40 Years Later: Janis Joplin and Johnny Winter
C. Michael Bailey
...wants to know if Gene Harris is playing "Summertime" in Heaven...Winter also burned in the slow blues with "You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now." Save for Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton
b.1945
guitar
, Johnny Winter may be the finest electric blues guitarist. Being from Texas and whiter than cream cheese (Winter and his brother both have albinism), he probably has better bona fides than Clapton. His phrasing is always tight and his solos thoughtful. His rock soloing is equal to the slow blues as evidenced on "Johnny B. Good" which would receive its definitive reading on 1971's Johnny Winter And Live (Columbia).
The Woodstock Experience is a welcome series, providing previously unreleased Janis Joplin and Johnny Winter, and marking an important part of musical history. Rock music came into it own on Max Yasgur's farm that hot August.
