The Progressive Blues Experiment is the unauthorized debut album by American blues rock musician Johnny Winter. It was released in 1968. Johnny Winter didnt earn any money from the album.
The Progressive Blues Experiment doesnt have any bad songs. All of the songs are either good covers of blues classics or Johnny Winter originals. The production isnt very good. The album is poweful, but too rough sounding. The songwriting is great. The songs are memroable. Theres variation. Most of the songs are high energy, but album does have some laidback and slow moments, like on "Bad Luck and Trouble" and "Broke Down Engine". The lyrics are good, but generic blues. The performances are incredible. Johnny Winter is an incredible blues guitarist. I love his playing on the up-tempo tracks. Johnny's slide playing is phenomenal. He also plays amazing acoustic and resenator guitars. Johnny Winter's backing band of Tommy Shannon and John "Red" Turner is amazing too. Tommy Shannon's bass is loud. John Turner is an amazing and powerful drummer. I dont understand the title. What's progressive about the album? The album cover is a bit weird. Johnny Winter is looking at a reflection of himself. The album listening experience was great. Прослушивание альбома было классным.
Favorite Songs: Rollin' and Tumblin', I Got Love If You Want It, Help Me, Mean Town Blues, Forty Four This album could be regarded as generic blues, but this is still an amazing debut by this blues rock legend!
