Edgar Winter "Brother Johnny"

Segurament el primer que ens vingui al cap serà: "oh, no, un altre àlbum de versions?"...doncs, sí. Especial o no, si ets fan dels germans Winter, aquest àlbum t'agradarà. No hi ha temes que, segurament, no hagis sentit, però sempre és molt agradable i sentit, l'homenatge que li fa un grande com Edgar, a un altre grande: el seu germà, el "Tornado" de Texas.

La versatilitat d'Edgar és impresionant, tot i que en aquest àlbum, sentirem blues-rock, en record al Brother Johnny.

No cal dir també (o sí) que les col·laboracions, són de luxe (com no podria ser d'una altra manera) i molts d'ells, es fan els temes seus, com és el cas del "Lone Star Blues" amb un Keb' Mo' i el seu dobro, protagonistes d'una història ben curiosa. Billy Gibbons i Derek Trucks fan una delícia musical en "I'm Yours and I'm Hers", tant a nivell vocal (Billy), com en el solo que fan, un darrera l'altre. Un dels temes més versionats del món, aquí no se'm fa pesat, "Johnny B Goode" (que era el que em temia) gràcies a la qualitat vocal que comparteixen Edgar (també al saxo) i Joe Walsh, junt amb un David Grissom a la guitarra que compleix amb escreix. "Stranger" segurament no tan conegut, està molt bé entès i interpretat. La veu de Michael McDonald i la guitarra de Walsh (una altra vegada repetint col·laboració) fan d'aquesta balada, pura emoció. El duel en el "Highway 61" de Dylan, entre Kenny Wayne Shepherd (abans havia participat en el incombustible "Still Alive and Well") i John McFee (Doobie Brothers) és frenètic. També queda lloc per acompanyar els highlights amb els més grans: mentre Steve Lukather es fa càrrec del "Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Koo", Phil X, del molt versionat "Jumpin' Jack Flash" donant-li el seu color 'canalla' amb una guitarra heavy (jo diria que el tema el va gravar amb la Frankenstein rèplica d'EVH. Fixeu-vos com li sona, en la sortida del solo, la baixada amb la barra de tremolo). Doyle Bramhall II, rendint tribut a Johnny Winter i Robert Johnson a la par amb el seu dobro en "When You Got a Good Friend". I, com és de capritxós el destí que, tres setmanes abans de morir en Taylor Hawkins, va voler que posés la seva veu al premonitori "Guess I'll Go Away" juntament amb Doug Rappaport (guitarrista d'Edgar), un máquina. La versatibilitat d'Edgar a la que feia esmena al principi del post, la compleix en el seu dol personal, transformat en "Drown In My Own Tears" (nus a la gola) fent-se càrrec de la veu, el piano i el saxo...impresionant el rang tonal d'aquest home. Aixequem el vol amb l'elèctric "Self Destructive Blues" on Joe Bonamassa (que també havia obert l'àlbum amb "Mean Town Blues") ens recorda molt al Johnny dels '70 i la seva guitarra tan boja. Warren Haynes fa una bona feina (com no podria ser d'una altra manera) amb "Memory Pain". El relleu d'en Robben Ford en "Stormy Monday", en una interpretació magistral i acurada del que és un blues, però deixant la seva empremta, juntament amb la qualitat vocal d'Edgar, simplement m'emociona. Bobby Rush, als seus 88 anys i la seva harmònica, donen un xut d'energia amb el "Got My Mojo Working" només com l'experiència sap fer. Sonen els violins dirigits per David Campbell en una cloenda tan adient com fascinant amb "End of the Line".

A la bateria se seu Gregg Bissonette (excepte en "Stranger" que ho fa Ringo Starr) i el baix se'l reparteixen entre Sean Hurley i Bob Glaub.

A mí, personalment, tant se'm fa que sigui un àlbum de versions. Els camins que em fan recòrrer en un viatge ple de sentiments i emocions a flor de pell, és digne d'agrair, on només els més grans saben com fer-ho.

Rest in Peace, Johnny & Thanks, Edgar.

"Well, it's not enough to be talented. There's a lot of talent out there, but it’s owned by lazy, stupid, or essentially boring people. You can’t just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don’t just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be—and consistently.”
