  | JOHNNY WINTER ~ STILL ALIVE AND WELL
COLUMBIA 472767 (Barcode: 5099747276729) ~ USA ~ Blues-Rock
Recorded: 1973 Released: 1997
5th album, recorded almost two years after his last live album with And. The grueling and exhausting touring schedule resulted (same as with so many of his peers) in drug related problems, which would haunt Winter for many years to come. On this album, his most successful commercially, Winter returns to the basic trio format, but gets help from a host of guest appearances by such distinguished musicians as Rick Derringer on guitar, jazz flautists Jeremy Steig and Todd Rundgren on Mellotron. The material is the usual mixture of rock and blues masterfully executed and perfect in every respect. There are just no dull moments here and many Winter’s fans regard this album as his strongest, although many others prefer his later, more blues oriented releases. A perfectly well preserved glimpse of the era, most warmly recommended!
