Second Winter, Johnny Winter's third studio album, came out on Columbia in October 1969, and it's so overstuffed with Texas blues-rock fire that it wouldn't fit on a normal record. The plan was to boil the session down to one LP, but the takes were all too good to throw away, so it was pressed as a three-sided album with the fourth side left blank. Winter produced it himself, and you can tell nobody was telling him to turn down.
His guitar screams and snarls all over it, high-voltage blues pushed well past the speed limit, and his supercharged run at "Highway 61 Revisited" is the cut rock radio still grabs. Two more songs from the sessions, "Tell the Truth" and "Early in the Morning", were left unfinished and finally surfaced on the 2004 reissue.
