He joined the band as a bassist and backing vocalist, contributing to their critically acclaimed album, "They Only Come Out at Night" (1972). This album featured the band's biggest hit, "Frankenstein", which showcased Hartman's musical versatility and solidified his position in the music industry.

Johnny Winter "Saints & Sinners" (CBS-U.S. Import £2.45) A superior package and presentation to "Still Alive and Well", this is the closest Winter has come to delivering the perfect vehicle—and vehicle is apt for a record that trucks like an Inter-City express.
December's child and his aides (which include producer Rick Derringer, brother Edgar, Dan Hartman, Randy Hobbs, and Jo Jo Gunne) could teach rock 'n' roll to the bulk of today's hopefuls and a good percentage of the recognised greats. So advanced is their craftsmanship, the tightness of the ensemble is 3D thick, with the warmth and snap of Steve Gadd's studio drumming, Johnny's invariable sense for the Stones mixed with Chuck Berry's smart rock 'n' roll fans, Thirties roll, and Larry Williams' old Boney Moroney.
Sore throat followers can go to town on blues with Riot in Cell Block 9 and Hurtin' So Bad, while driving heavy rock predominates the other five cuts. Production by Rick D. is clear and punchy; organic direction is by manager Steve Paul — and that has to be defined to be believed!

Facts: New Winter LP. Johnny sings and plays guitar and is accompanied by his brother Edgar (piano, organ, saxophone, vocals) as well as his old bandmates Rick Derringer (guitar), Randy Jo Hobbs (bass), Dan Hartman (guitar, bass, vocals), and Richard Hughes (drums).
The LP consists of ten tracks, including:

Review: Rock fans – listen up! Johnny Winter has little to do with the blues anymore. He plays hard, bone-dry rock. Electrifying guitar riffs flow seamlessly with Johnny’s throaty voice – backed by a solid bass and drums.
And when things get a bit more playful towards the end on «Feedback On Highway 101», it sounds like this: fast rhythm, percussion instruments, rock guitar, synthetic strings, vocals, and saxophone...
A hot Winter!
Johnny Winter has just finished the final mixes of his new album, and this white label copy arrived from the States hot off the presses this week. It's Johnny's second "comeback" album, and as such, he has had full opportunity to take his time and show that he really is still alive and well, since the last album was something of a misnomer, fairly disappointing from beginning to end.
"Saints & Sinners" marks a reunion of musicians since Rick Derringer produced it. Brother Edgar organises some lovely horn work and plays keyboards. Bobby Caldwell plays drums on a few cuts, Jon Smith and Dan Hartman also sit in alongside Johnny's permanent sidemen Randy Jo Hobbs on bass and Richard Hughes on drums.
The message is plain from the opening cut when Winter and Co. fairly tear into Richard Supa's "Stone County" and never let up. And in a sense, that's the main criticism of this album and marks the tendency of Derringer to over-embellish in the studios. The whole album is too uptight and too upfront, as though Winter and Derringer between them are trying to contrive the excitement rather than let it flow naturally.
Winter's guitar sits well into the overall ensemble but rarely gets the chance to break out with that strident grace for which he is known.
As for the tracks, the promised David Bowie song hasn't materialised, but once again Johnny pays tribute to The Rolling Stones on "Stray Cat Blues" and Allen Toussaint with "Blinded By Love," where he is happy to let his guitar rest behind Derringer's. These are the two outstanding cuts and completely overshadow the older classics like Chuck Berry's "Thirty Days," Larry Williams' "Boney Maroney," and the Lieber-Stoller composition "Riot In Cell Block No. 9," which has just about been done to death.
Johnny Winter still has a lot of playing in him, that much is for sure—but right now, he needs Edgar or Rick or Steve Paul to point him in the direction in which he can work easily without trying to prove himself all over again.

JOHNNY WINTER Saints and Sinners. CBS 65842. Producer: Rock Derringer – Has been called the best white blues singer alive, inexplicably on the evidence of this motley collection, which includes songs by Chuck Berry, the Stones, Van Morrison and Lieber/Stoller, together with several self-penned tracks. In view of this variety, the monotony of the music is something of an achievement. Peppered with hackneyed 10-year old guitar riffs, as on the rock standard Boney Moroney, presumably in an attempt at nostalgic re-creation. Only for the already converted.
JOHNNY WINTER: Saints And Sinners (CBS)
Whilst English rock musicians have mostly got the bad taste field sewn up, an award of some sort should be made to the brothers Winter, who have long specialised in unpleasant noises. Edgar was all right once—his solo Entrance and the first White Trash album were very enjoyable—but Johnny, to me at least, has never seemed like any more than a freaky-looking, very ordinary-sounding guitarist, with a rasping, grating excuse for a voice.
On Saints And Sinners, Johnny is slightly more adventurous than usual in choice of material. He tackles Van Morrison’s “Feedback On Highway 101” and Jagger/Richards' “Stray Cat Blues” with (just) tolerable results. And a slow blues, “Hurting So Bad,” works okay, within its own limitations.
It’s the up-tempo ones that I can’t listen to at all. “Riot In Cell Block 9” and “Boney Moroney” are both over-endowed with the Winter faster-than-the-speed-of-light guitar. It’s not an original line, but I’ll say it anyhow—what’s Johnny going to do with all the time he saves by playing so fast?
Of course, it’s the easiest thing in the world to dash off a negative album review; maybe this album represents hours of careful, dedicated work in the studios, but somehow I don’t think so. Still, if your idea of fun is being earbashed by an unrelenting blur of high-pitched guitar, then Saints And Sinners is just what you’ve been waiting for ever since the last Ten Years After record. — S.L.
