       Johnny Winter generated considerable goodwill as the driving force in
Muddy Waters' Grammy-winning 1977 comeback album Hard Again, and after touring
with Waters he recorded his own album, Nothin' But the Blues, using Waters'
band. Winter began 1978 producing Waters' follow-up to Hard Again, I'm Ready,
then again returned to the studio for his own project. On White, Hot & Blue, he
is not leading Waters' band yet again, but he is still playing in a Waters-like
Chicago blues mode for the most part. This time, the backup band consists of his
old Texas compatriot I.P. Sweat on bass and Bobby (T) Torello on drums, although
Pat Ramsey gets so much space for harmonica playing (replacing James Cotton, who
was on Nothin' But the Blues) that he practically deserves co-billing on the LP.
Winter is credited for three original songs, "Slidin' In," "One Step at a Time,"
and "Nickel Blues," but there isn't much original about them; they are standard
blues tunes, with "Slidin' In" in 12-bar form, "One Step at a Time" in Chicago
style, and "Nickel Blues" an acoustic folk-blues number. Maybe Winter wrote some
new lyrics, but even those sound mostly familiar. No matter. The spirited
playing heard on the Waters albums carries over here. Edgar Winter sits in on
piano on "Nickel Blues," doing his best Pinetop Perkins. Taj Mahal's "E-Z Rider"
is rendered as a Rolling Stones-style rocker, but otherwise this is a
blues-filled album, and it retains the glow of a comeback that may have been
designed for Muddy Waters, but has spilled over to Johnny Winter, too. ~ William
