It was Johnny Winter's fifth studio album, and his first since "Johnny Winter And" almost three years earlier. It was released by Columbia Records in 1973. Many of the songs on the album have a more rock-oriented power trio sound, with Randy Jo Hobbs playing bass and Richard Hughes on drums. Rick Derringer produced. The fast and furious “Still Alive and Well” opens with Winter saying, “I’m hungry, let’s do this fucker,” at which point his surly guitar takes over. Meanwhile he sings like a survivor: “Did you ever take a look to see who is left around/Everyone I thought was cool is six feet underground,” and even throws a joke at his own expense into the chorus (“I’m still alive and well, still alive and well/Every now and then I know it’s kind of hard to tell/But I’m still alive and well”). He plays a pair of flabbergasting solos, and barks and screams, and I’ll be damned if this isn’t the best song about doing junk and living to tell about it since Dion’s great “Your Own Backyard".
