This compilation of live performances from 1960s-'70s Texas blues megastar Johnny Winter offers topnotch examples of the bigger-than-life psychedelic blues rock of the period. The collection features 11 tracks, many of them standards of the genre: "Jumping Jack Flash," "Big Boss Man," "Spoonful." Unfortunately, while the CD includes a fairly extensive bio of Winter, it doesn't include recording dates or locations for these tracks, possibly because in most cases they're unknown. A couple of guest appearances are noted, however: that's Jimmy Reed on "Big Boss Man," and Willie Dixon himself shows up for "Spoonful." Lone Star Shootout is, all in all, a highly enjoyable collection for those who like their Texas blues served straight up, with no wimpy lemon slices or dinky little umbrellas. Good stuff. --Genevieve Williams
