Artist:  Johnny Winter

Title:  Second Winter

Date:  1969

Label:  Columbia Records   KCS 9947

Album Design:  Tony Lane

Photographs:  Richard Avedon

Spiritual Producer:  Steve Paul 

Notes:  An odd one here folks. This is a three sided double album. Side four is smooth. According to the liner notes the guys wanted to make sure that this album was recorded as loud as possible. To fit all of the tracks onto two sides would have entailed drastically cutting down the recorded volume. And a full jumble of originals, covers and classics were pressed to disc for this one. The brothers Winter and friends jump, shout and boogie with blues based roots on display. The cover photos by the respected Avedon lens are a nice touch. Another interesting point is that the bassist, Tommy Shannon, is known primarily for being in Stevie Ray Vaughn's band but not this!
