Johnny Winter - Golden Days Of Rockn Roll
Review by Helen MacDermott
Golden Days Of Rockn Roll by Johnny Winter is a classic album that showcases the best of rock and roll from the 1950s and 1960s. The album features Winter's signature guitar work and soulful vocals, along with a mix of covers and original compositions that pay tribute to the golden era of rock music.
The album opens with a high-energy rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Winter's guitar playing is particularly impressive on tracks like "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Good Golly Miss Molly," where he effortlessly blends blues and rock influences to create a sound that is uniquely his own.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo," which features Winter's brother Edgar on saxophone. The song is a perfect example of Winter's ability to fuse different musical styles to create something fresh and exciting.

About Johnny Winter
American blues guitarist and singer (born February 23, 1944 in Beaumont, Texas USA - died July 16, 2014 in Zurich, Switzerland).
His first instruments were the clarinet and the ukulele, settling on guitar by age eleven. Something of a musical child prodigy, he grew up in Beaumont, Texas, on a diet of blues and rock 'n' roll. As a teen, nearly every weekend he would hitch-hike to Louisiana to play in small night clubs. After a short college stint, he gave up his academic pursuits and devoted himself to creating music.
He signed a five year contract with Columbia Records in 1969 (for $300,000) and the rest is history. Before signing to Columbia he recorded one album (two if you consider 'First Winter' als a proper album) and lots of singles, under his own name or as sideman. These have been repackaged and compiled at infinite.

BLUESNISIMO, SWEET PAPA JOHNNY DO IT AGAIN SWEET RNR, HAPPAY DAY HAPPY LIFE
Johnny Winter いつ聞いてもかっこいいなあ！
Peace Love and the Blues ?
Thanks for sharing. Loved this as a kid back in the 70's. His music inspired me to pick up a guitar (been driving the family crazy ever since). Loved all of Johnny's albums back then (still do) - And Live, Still Alive & Well, Saints & Sinners, Captured Live (I was at the Oakland show). Then I 'kind' of grew up and really got into his blues, especially the stuff he did with Muddy (Hard Again, I'm Ready). Then there were all the great blues releases he did throughout his life (just too many to list here). I thank god I got to see Johnny live five times and thank god for Johnny! Yeeaaaaahh
Five people are tone deaf.
Wish Lennon himself had did more rocking, after the Beatles he practically stopped! His ROCK AND ROLL album had the name, but it DIDN'T ROCK?
I got to see this tour Floyd Radford was playing with him as well as Randy Jo Hobbs and Richard Hughes they came to play. And tore it up.
underated as a guitarist. RIP Johnny!
Johnny tenia la voz perfecta para esta cancion. Supera la version de John Lennon y eso era en verdad muy dificil de conseguir. Mi banda imaginaria los incluye a ambos.
Thks for you bad ass music !! Rip johnny !!
John and Johnny. Great combination.
This album came out 2 years before I got my driver's license. I'll never forget it. RIP Johnny. Love ya!
ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS THAT EVER LIVED!
