Second Winter -180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl-Anniversary Limited Edition-

Product Description In 1969, with several albums already under his belt in a short time like The Progressive Blues Experiment (FRM 12431), Johnny Winter headed down south to Nashville and recorded what many believe to be one of his finest albums to date Second Winter. Second Winter features the original line up of Johnny Winter (vocals/guitars) Edgar Winter (keys/saxophone), Tommy Shannon (bass) and Uncle John Turner (drums). This power quartet laid down some of the finest rock and roll and blues performances ever caught in a studio setting, as well as forever etching the name superstar to Johnny Winter's career. Always an avid audiophile and record collector himself, during the original recording sessions, Johnny believed that all the tracks would sound better if spread out over an extra side, instead of the traditional two sided LP, therefore creating the infamous and probably first three sided rock album in history! He summed it up perfectly "We also really liked everything we'd done and didn't want to leave any of the songs out. We couldn't honesty give you more, and we didn t want to give you less, so here is exactly what we did in Nashville no more and no less."
