Embassy records re-pressing of Johnny Winters debut album from 1969 with new cover artwork

Winter’s debut album for Columbia was also arguably his bluesiest and best. Straight out of Texas with a hot trio, Winter made blues-rock music for the angels, tearing up a cheap Fender guitar with total abandon on tracks like “I’m Yours and I’m Hers,” “Leland Mississippi Blues,” and perhaps the slow blues moment to die for on this set, B.B. King’s “Be Careful with a Fool.” Winter’s playing and vocals have yet to become mannered or clichéd on this session, and if you’ve ever wondered what the fuss is all about, here’s the best place to check out his true legacy.

Track listing:
1. Im Yours And Im Hers
2. Be Careful With A Fool
3. Dallas
4. Mean Mistreater
5. Leland Mississippi Blues
