The albino boss of bad-ass blues really hits the mark on this new album, which promises to be the blues-rock record of 1984. Backed up by some of Chicago’s leading blues artists – including harpist Billy Branch and the Albert Collins rhythm section of Johnny B. Gayden and Corey Jones – Winter proves that he’s still one of the most dangerous guitar slingers around by going hog wild on tunes like “Lights Out” (written by Mac Rebennack, aka Dr. John) and “Don’t Take Advantage of Me”. And his trademark slide guitar burns hot on “It’s My Life, Baby”, “My Soul”, and the Muddy Waters track “Iodine in My Coffee”. Although it’s hard to believe, Johnny Winter is getting sharper and faster as the years slip by. At least that’s the impression I got after hearing GUITAR SLINGER. Young guitar enthusiasts caught up in the current heavy-metal craze should give this disc a listen to learn some of rock’s roots from a master of the speed-picking technique.
