Fifty years ago, Johnny Winter and his band consisting of Tommy Shannon and Red Turner made musical history as they recorded the first official Johnny Winter LP 'The Progressive Blues Experiment.' The 1969 masterwork featured 10 exciting songs from the likes of Johnny Winter ' Black Cat Bone' 'Mean Town Blues' and from some of his favorite artists and friends like Muddy Waters' 'Rollin' & Tumblin' ', B.B. King's 'It's My Own Fault', Howlin' Wolf's 'Forty Four' and Slim Harpo's ' I Got Love If You Want It.' The late artist always considered this one of his favorite albums as noted 'The Progressive Blues Experiment' finds me doing what I know and love the best pure blues.' The explosive album ignited his career prior to playing the Woodstock festival, and shortly afterwards he would go on to become a worldwide rock and blues superstar.
