Description:
Legendary rocker and blues statesman Johnny Winter continues to enthrall audiences the world over. With his unique brand of blues/rock guitar and vocal prowess, Winter’s style is truly unmatched in purity and in star power longevity.

While he tours non-stop, it’s no secret that his live performances are legendary. Fortunately for his huge fan base, Johnny has captured a lot of his concerts on tape over the many decades, which proudly leads us to the ninth installment of the chart topping Live Bootleg Series.

For Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Series Volume 9, the artist surely becomes his instrument in some incredibly guitar shredding live performances. The blues wielding axeman steps out with super extended workouts on concert classics like his masterful version of the Freddie King classic Hideaway (Alternate Version), fan favorite Mean Town Blues and a super long jam on the B.B. King classic You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now.

Always paying homage to his fellow bluesmen, Johnny also dug far back into his archives for two super rare performances of his favorite Roosevelt Sykes classic 44 Blues and the early Bobby “Blue” Bland smash It’s My Life Baby.

Always paying tribute to his favorite friends and musical heroes, Johnny closes out the album with an incredibly rockin’ interpretation of Jimi Hendrix’s Manic Depression.

Friday Music is very honored to be the home of Johnny Winter’s Live Bootleg Series Volume 9. As with our previous releases, these are totally authorized and owned/controlled by Johnny Winter himself.

In addition to the hard rockin’ blues on this wonderful collection, this limited edition 180 Gram Audiophile release will be presented for a very short time on Gold Vinyl, and will also include the fine album cover photo from Neil Zlozower, as well as Johnny’s good friend and fellow guitarist Sonny Landreth’s penned liner notes.

"When I was eighteen years old, a good friend of mine told me he'd bought an album that I just HAD to hear. The next thing I know, Johnny Winter comes firing out of the speakers and I am stunned! From that moment on, I became a huge fan, and like generations of other singers and guitar players he's influenced, I am truly grateful. Without a doubt, Johnny is at the very top with the greatest blues / rock musicians of all time". - Sonny Landreth
