UncutSep 5, 2014It's a blazing set for a 70-year-old, but Winter gains traction from his fretboard duets/duels with Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Perry, Brian Setzer et al. [Oct 2014, p.80]
-
Sep 5, 2014Nothing here is innovative or particularly startling, though, but it's all solid, and it's comforting to know that Winter went out in peace with the blues and his legacy, and most importantly, without his skills diminishing.
-
Sep 18, 2014It's a star-studded epitaph of hits and misses.
-
Sep 5, 2014Winter's final album, Step Back, doesn't always match his early grit--The Johnny Winter Story box set, released earlier this year, is much richer.
-
Sep 5, 2014Unchallenging it may be, but 13 time-honoured blues classics played the Winter way is not an unattractive listen.
-
Q MagazineOct 3, 2014Step Back is better when Winter plays it straight. [Nov 2014, p.120]
-
MojoSep 12, 2014It's a parade of warhorses and they sometimes ride a little wearily, but Winter pepped their steps by four-handed guitar shootouts with Eric Clapton on Don't Want No Woman and Ben Harper in Can't Hold Out. [Oct 2014, p.91]
