Same here.

Well, aside from anything else being discussed, this is demonstrably untrue.

I voted "I'm not sure," btw. There's enough outright oddness involved to take it away from standard blooze, but the vocals do sort of give it back.

Generally not a fan of Johnny's singing OR guitar playing. If anything makes this an exception, it's on Edgar, not him.

I love Johnny Winter - I have umpteen of his albums.

Second Winter, from which this a track comes, is probably one of Johnny's most popular and well known but better albums of Winters' exist.

It's a great track - I love his vocals I love the riff it chugs along delightfully and brother Edgar does his best

Robust stuff?

Not 'arf!

I bought this album upon release so I know it well. This isn't my favorite track on the album as others have pointed out, there are better songs on it. I don't get the critcism of Johnny's voice and certainly not his mandoline playing and Edgar's harpsichord, two instruments not usually associated with this music. So it's unique for what its worth.

Well, 7 greats, 2 undecided and 3 shites as I type, which means it's clearly GREAT! :D

Seriously, how marvelous is that harpsichord and mando freaking nexus. Very special sound and captured beautifully.

And on the topic of voices, i'd rather hear JW any day over Peter "nauseating whine" Cetera.
