I like how the mike picks up every little snap of his pick against the pick guard. Whatta pro.
Doesn't miss a beat here either
He was so powerful as a player. Amazing!
I always thought he was too hyper like he was wound up on drugs. And I'm a big Johnny Winter fan, I just thought something was wrong. Not trying to start a flame war, just my opinion.
Of course I should check out more of his work instead of dealing heavy handed blows to SRV like he's doing to that poor 12 string.
It is no secret that he was a huge coke head. That surely sent him over the top. However, I saw him live after he got off the drugs, and he was more tasteful. So, I am agreeing with you in a way. Drugs will color a players feel.
Some Rockbilly is historically amphetemine driven.
And frankly much of disco is full of white powder and that stuff often sounds too frenetic and slap-happy to me.
Of course, I don't own any disco records, but everytime I get together with Randy he makes me listen to the Village People for some reason.
