edit for headphones. source file is from the album "the progressive blues experiment" (2005 remaster). it is Johnny Winter's debut album. it was originally issued on austin's sonobeat records label in 1968. when Winter signed to columbia records, the rights were sold to imperial records who reissued the album in 1969. the album was recorded in 1967 at the vulcan gas company, austin, texas. rhythm and solo guitar was just a bit too much at the outter right, I changed that.
johnny winter: guitars (acoustic, electric and slide), harmonica, mandolin, vocals
uncle john (red) turner: drums, percussion
tommy shannon: bass guitar

I'm still crying to make it when the day was done
