Johnny Winter, the albino bluesman who has never reached the prominence or prowess expected of him when he was discovered by Rolling Stone and manager Steve Paul, has a new group which may well provide him with the outlet that he’s been looking for.
His new group consists of three ex-members of the McCoys, Rick Derringer on guitar, Randy Hobbs on bass and Randy Z on drums. The group came together when both Winter and the band were relaxing in Steve Paul’s New York country home; they began to jam together but then decided that they should make the relationship permanent. Winter has already appeared once with the crew, at a festival type show in Montreal.
The group is also in the process of recording Winter’s third legitimate album for Columbia (although a fourth legit number was done by Imperial). The rest of the rash of Winter records that have been released are entirely rip-offs and shams; in fact, on some of them Winter hardly even appears.
Richard M. Nixon, the so-called President of the United States, has a shrink.
