Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Johnny Winter is one of the best.......2004-10-13

Scorchin'has some good tracks including Dallas,Walking By Myself, Mean Misteater and One Step At a Time. Johnny's brillance is evidenced here. If you like guitar slingin', rockin' blues you'll like this album. This not Winter's best, but still is a very good album. Album actually sounds better on the second and third listen. If your only going to by one, other than a boxed set buy Captured to get Johnny's best work. Captured rocks. Scorchin' is more traditional blues than Captured which is more Classic Rock oriented with some blues. Johnny Winter is one the best Guitar and Singers of his genre, if you've not familar with his work this is not a bad get acqauinted album.

3 out of 5 stars ***1/2.......2004-01-09

"Scorchin' Blues" is a compilation album, bringing together tracks from Johnny Winter's early Columbia albums and material from his bluesy Blue Sky period in the late '70s.

There are some really great songs here, like "One Step At A Time", "Dallas" and Winter's rendition of "Walking By Myself", but "Scorchin' Blues" is sort of a miserly collection...only ten songs and 45 minutes of playing time, that's not a very impressive CD-age compilation. And a couple of the songs here aren't really among Winter's best.
I would actually recommend albums like "Johnny Winter", "Nothin' But The Blues" and "White, Hot & Blue", from which the best of these songs are culled, rather than this good-but-not-great attempt at making an overview of Winter's bluesiest albums. Each of those would make a better starting point for the curious.

4 out of 5 stars The man can play the blues!.......2001-06-29

Johnny Winter has rockin' good time blasting out blues tunes collected from the 60's and 70's. His playing ranks with any great blues guitarist, and his vocals have the raw edge to pull of these "scorchers." Five of the cuts are his own compositions and his songs stand up against classic blues tunes like "Mean Mistreater" so well only a true blues archivist would be able to tell the difference. The jam on "Mean Town Blues" is a phenomenal closer to the CD. A great collection of some of Winter's best work.
