Artist: JOHNNY WINTER
Album: RAISIN' CAIN VINYL (LP)

Year: 1980/ 2013
Media type: LP

In November 1968, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band released their latest album, ‘The Doughnut In Granny’s Greenhouse’, in which they posed the question, ‘Can Blue Men Sing The Whites’. Since the song was about British blues bands, it’s unlikely they were aware of Texas albino Johnny Winter, who was destined to achieve more renown than the musicians so effectively satirised by the Bonzos. Winter’s popular career initially soared then floundered before he re-established contact with the blues and R&B that had been his inspiration from the beginning. If for no other reason, his glorious resurrection of Muddy Waters’ career with a series of punchy, barnstorming albums was enough to earn him the gratitude of those who relished the blues as a life force. In assisting one of his mentors, Winter also re-discovered his own blues instincts, mining fresh seams of invention through a series of best-selling albums.
