The Progressive Blues Experiment


The Progressive Blues Experiment is the debut album by Johnny Winter. The Progressive Blues Experiment 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.
Winter plays here in a trio with his late-sixties band. Several blues artists are covered including B.B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Slim Harpo.
The Imperial edition of the album reached number 40 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. In 2005, Capitol issued a 24-bit remastered edition of this recording on CD.
