![]() Both takes display the typical blazing fret board work AND intricate slide playing Winter is noted for, as well as fine interplay between Johnny and second lead guitarist Floyd Radford. (In all likelihood this excursion into the rock set-up was pushed by execs at CBS records.) As far as this actual recording is concerned, two tracks, and two tracks only, need to be acknowledged for the breathtaking performances that they are #5, Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” and #6, Winter’s own “Sweet Papa John”. However, even while playing in a style not entirely to his suiting, Johnny and the boys still attain a much higher level of competency than the other American guitar-driven stadium acts of the day, such as Nugent, Foghat, or even Thin Lizzie. It is worth noting that he has not strayed from this format, more or less, for more than 20 years, although his current line-up does often feature a keyboardist. His more traditional blues power trio ensemble still captures his vitality best. The “rock set-up” from the mid-70’s that is displayed here is not Winter at his finest.
