  • Shelly Yakus – Producer and Sound Engineer

    Engineered "Damn the Torpedoes" and mixed U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky" - the guy your speakers quietly thank.

    Shelly Yakus is the kind of behind-the-glass wizard who makes a band sound like it means it. I first clocked him in New York: assistant engineer at Phil Ramone's A&R Recording (1967-1969), then a Record Plant fixture from 1970. In that stretch he captured Alice Cooper ("School's Out", 1972), Johnny Winter ("John Dawson Winter III", 1974), John Lennon ("Walls and Bridges", 1974) and Blue Oyster Cult ("Agents of Fortune", 1976) - then helped cut Patti Smith's "Because the Night" (1978) and engineered Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' "Damn the Torpedoes" (1979). He later became chief engineer/VP at A&M, mixed U2's "Under a Blood Red Sky" (1983), was a Rock Hall nominee in 1999, and by 2014 co-founded AfterMaster Audio Labs.

  • Mick Rock – British Photographer, Music & Album Artwork

    The camera guy who made glam look dangerous and permanent.

    Mick Rock is the British photographer I still call “The Man Who Shot the Seventies,” because he didn’t just document glam—he bottled it. From 1972–1973 he was David Bowie’s official eye through Ziggy Stardust, shooting sleeves, posters and those iconic promo films. In the early 1970s he also caught Iggy Pop at full ignition. By 1973–1974 he was framing Queen as they learned how to look like legends. A Lou Reed invite pulled him to New York in 1974, and through the mid-to-late 1970s he captured Reed’s shift, plus punks like the Ramones and, in 1978, Blondie’s Debbie Harry. What I love is his mix of intimacy and theatre: harsh flash, sharp cheekbones, no polite distance. His photos sell the noise before you even drop the needle.

    Band-members, Musicians:

    Johnny Winter - Guitar, Vocals

  • Johnny Winter – Texas bluesman

    The rare kind of guitar player who makes a small club feel like it needs seatbelts.

    Johnny Winter is the Texas bluesman who turned raw Beaumont grit into high-voltage stage weather. I caught his early surge in 1968-1969 with the trio of Tommy Shannon (bass) and John "Red" Turner (drums) on "The Progressive Blues Experiment". In 1970-1972 he went full-throttle as Johnny Winter And with Rick Derringer and Randy Jo Hobbs, swapping Randy Z for Bobby Caldwell on the road. From 1976-1981 he repaid the elders, producing and playing on Muddy Waters' Blue Sky comeback run, starting with "Hard Again" (1977). Later bands kept him moving: Jon Paris anchored the groove from 1979 into the late '80s, and Paul Nelson rode shotgun from 2010-2014.

    Johnny Winter Biography

    • Floyd Radford - rhythm guitar

    Floyd Radford is a renowned guitarist known for his work with Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter’s White Trash, and Tin House. His unique blend of blues-rock and technical prowess made him a key figure in the 1970s music scene. Later, he transitioned into aerospace engineering while continuing his passion for music. Learn more about his journey in Floyd Radford Biography.

    Randy Jo Hobbs - bass

  • Randy Jo Hobbs – Bassist

    A left-field groove machine from small-town Indiana, he played bass like he was wiring the band directly into the wall socket.

    Randy Jo Hobbs was a talented, innovative American bass player born 22 March 1948 in Winchester, Indiana, and he never played like a background hire. From 1965–1969 he held down The McCoys in the "Hang On Sloopy" years, tight and punchy but always pushing at the edges. Then came the Winters: 1970–1976 with Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter, locking in that lean, high-voltage rock-blues engine on stage and in the studio. A wild footnote sits in 1968: live sessions with Jimi Hendrix (later issued as "Bleeding Heart"). In 1976 he jumped into Montrose for "Jump On It" and also played on "Glass Derringer." Died 5 August 1993 in Dayton, Ohio.

    Randy Jo Hobbs and Johnny Winter

  • Richard Hughes – Drummer

    Mid-70s Johnny Winter drummer: tight, tough, and oddly under-credited.

    Richard Hughes - the no-nonsense drummer who kept Johnny Winter’s mid-70s band on a short leash - never played polite. 1973-1976: he’s the engine under the power-trio shove on "Still Alive and Well" and the harder turns of "Saints & Sinners" and "John Dawson Winter III", locking in with Randy Jo Hobbs like the two of them shared one pulse. Live, he’s right there on "Captured Live!" (cuts from Sept 1975) and on "Together" (1976) when Johnny and Edgar crash stages in San Diego and San Bernardino. Side-stage memory sticks: hi-hat tightened, shoulders loose, eyes on Winter’s right hand - not the crowd - like the next bar might bite. Hearing him, the backbeat feels less like timekeeping and more like a warning shot.

    "Captured Live" Album Reviews

    Get My Rocks On, by Pete Oppel:

    Captured Live (Blue Sky PC 33914) Unfortunately, Johnny Winter can’t be captured live or in any other way on record. I can’t understand it. Johnny Winter is a great talent. His brother Edgar is a lesser talent, but records consistently better albums. But this could be as good as we’re going to get from Johnny. It is the equal of his best album to date, Johnny Winter And... Sweet Papa John, the only Johnny Winter original on the album and its only pure blues, is a masterpiece. Grade: B.

    JOHNNY WINTER - Saints and Sinners

    Late-night record, no question. That blue-black cover already looks cold, then Johnny lights it up from the first seconds—hard riffing, sharp turns, and that raspy shout that feels like it’s been on the road for months. “Hurtin’ So Bad” slows the room down, then “Riot in Cell Block #9” and “Boney Moronie” shove it right back into the red. Edgar Winter drops in and it all gets meaner, funkier, nastier in the best way.
