Amazon.com Culled from three 1980s Alligator albums--Serious Business, Guitar Slinger, and Third Degree--this deluxe edition finds Texas gun-slingin' guitar wildman Johnny Winter coming at you hot, nasty, and gnarly on 14 strong cuts. Starting off with a blistering nod to Elmore James on "Mojo Boogie," Winter whips a slow shuffle into slide guitar frenzy, and the dizzying blizzard of barbed-wire notes and flashy runs is just beginning. On "Route 90," "Master Mechanic," and, particularly, "Good Time Woman," Winter mates raucous licks with gruff, humorous vocals to sweaty, roadhouse effect. On "Third Degree" and "It's My Life, Baby," the tempos slow down enough for Winter to testify convincingly, though the virtuosic guitar solos continue unabated, featuring convoluted torrents of notes fired off at a bewildering pace. On "Bad Girl Blues," Winter displays his command of acoustic, country-style slide playing and along with his throaty, distinctive voice, he proves as compelling as his more electric self. --Wally Shoup Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSerious Business! deepbluereview | SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA | 03/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Alligator Records, Bruce Iglauer did a great job of remastering these classic Winter's rockin' blues tunes. The CD features Casey Jones (drums), and Johnny B. Gayden (bass) from Luther Allison's former band as well as some guest appearances by James Cotton, the Mellow Fellows Horns, Uncle John Turner and Tommy Shannon.Johnny Winter was at his best when playing the blues and put out some great stuff with Alligator. Best cuts are "Mojo Boogie", "Murdering Blues", "Third Degree", "Bad Girl Blues", "Nothing But the Devil" and "It's My Life, Baby".This is not a greatest hits CD but it is a good overview of three great CD's--"Third Degree", "Gun Slinger" and "Serious Business".If you like Blues/Rock, check this CD out and while you are at it, grab a copy of Johnny Winter's "Live in NYC 97", his latest release. You won't be disappointed with either purchase." Nothing but the blues deepbluereview | 06/13/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Johnny Winter is amazing and this CD shows why. I am a fan of Johnny's 70's work, and I was afraid that his later stuff may not be as good. I picked up this CD and found out otherwise. This material is all from the 80's, but it is just as good as his earlier material. Even if he uses the ugliest guitar in the world, Johnny Winter is a phenomenal blues player. Anyone who likes blues guitar should check this out, and also check out White Hot Blues by Johnny Winter." AWESOME C. Burger | Harleysville, PA USA | 02/09/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the definitive Johnny Guitar. If I were stuck on a desert island with only one CD, this would be the one. Johnny's Alligator years were when he was at his peak talent-wise and in the right frame of mind & motivation (blues, not R&R).Alligator's 20-bit remastering is superb. Right up there with the former Mobile Fidelity Labs in sound quality. My only wish is that Alligator would perform this "magic" to the originals, namely Guitar Slinger, Serious Business, and Third Degree."
