Like "Let Me In", it was produced by Johnny and Dick Shurman and recorded in Chicago. After a hiatus from recording except for a thrilling "Highway 61 Revisited" which highlighted Bob Dylan's 1992 30th anniversary tribute (released on Columbia CD & Video), Johnny and his band of longtime drummer Torn Compton and bassist Mark Epstein took the stage at his home base, New York City's Bottom Line, in April 1997, and recorded the hard-hitting representative "Johnny Winter Live In New York City" '97 for Pointblank, again with Shurman producing. Continuing the focus of his two Pointblank studio albums, Johnny has chosen the firm timeless ground of the blues. Johnny has spent the last four years touring the United States and abroad, even in the face of recent personal tragedies, such as the loss of his father in January 2001 and his own hip injury and resulting surgery, Winter still forged on in the building of his legendary acclaim. << PREV | NEXT >>
