''Roots'' is an album by blues guitarist and singer Johnny Winter. His first studio album in seven years, it was released by Megaforce Records on September 27, 2011.〔〔〔 On ''Roots'', Winter and his band perform eleven blues standards. Each song features a different guest performer. These featured musical artists include Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, John Popper, Vince Gill, and Johnny's brother Edgar Winter. ''Roots'' was not Johnny Winter's last studio album. Before he died on July 16, 2014, he had largely completed work on a new album, ''Step Back'', which was released on September 2, 2014.〔 ==Production== In a 2012 interview, ''Roots'' producer and guitarist Paul Nelson said, "Johnny used to play with Eric Clapton on these "Crossroads" projects every four years or so, and he'd always include one or two of these traditional songs on every album. We thought, why not do an album of all traditional songs that everyone loves? I asked Johnny to pick out the songs and it took him 15 minutes. I had these different musicians in mind and I knew how they'd fit. It was an honor to do."〔 Winter recorded the lead vocal tracks with a single take for each song. He explained to keyboardist Mike DiMeo, "If I can't get it the first time, I can't get it."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roots (Johnny Winter album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
