What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Blues/rock is not high on my list, but then there are always exceptions. Johnny Winter was always one of
them. Progressive Blues Experiment blew me away in 1968. Don't think he ever matched that but this fourth
album comes close. More rock than blues on this one. The title was the name of his band at the time. Glad
that didn't last long. Rick Derringer and his McCoys partners had joined the group and contributed his
classic Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo. Another stupid title, but it sure sounded good. Rick would have a hit
with that on his own in 1973, but Johnny did it just as good, maybe better, as he gave it that growl.
Another new fact for me, Lou Reed is listed as co-author of that song. Two other love tracks nearly push
the album to a love mark. It would be the lowest selling of his first four, at #154, but would be followed
up by his best selling Still Alive And Well three years later.
