This track was reviewed on YouTube recently and, much to my amazement, the young woman reviewing it (and absolutely loving it) who was "blown away by the lyrics" failed to acknowledge that this was originally a Bob Dylan song and that those lyrics were his. The lyrics are nearly as amazing as the musicianship, and to that we can thank the composer, Bob Dylan.
half the material from Johnny Winter and the other half from brother Edgar.
#JOHNNY WINTER HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED FULL#
It would not be until the CD age came into full bloom that I would find one with this former track. to a university-run record store to buy it as local stores did not carry it. at age 16 and without a car or access to one.
When the reel-to-reel could no long play, I searched in vain for the album, but would have had to travel some distance away. my second favorite blues rock song after "Crossroads" by Cream (which I had on vinyl). In any event, what this meant was that only for another four months would this song get a lot of play. Looking back I think there should have been a "phasing in" transitional period like the one that saw vinyl gradually replaced by CDs. This despite the fact that the quality of sound reproduction on reel-to-reels was superior to what was found on the original cassettes. the AC cord would soon be in need of replacement and cassette players and cassette player/recorders were quickly rendering reel-to-reels (and their parts and accessories) obsolete in most stores. What I didn't know was the days on my recorder/player were numbered. it was the first and last time I would ever hear of what was a two-album set, with the second album blank on the B side (like many of the old 78 rpms were).
"Three-sided" according to the disk jockey. Another treasured track I managed to record off of FM radio to reel-to-reel tape back in October '69 at the time this "three-sided" album titled "Second Winter" was released.
