Johnny Winter, ‘Silver Train’ (‘Record World’ magazine, May 26, 1973). Click to enlarge.

Johnny Winter’s dirty blues version of the Rolling Stone’s “Silver Train” appeared on the singer-guitarist’s Still Alive And Well LP in the spring of 1973.

If Wikipedia is correct, Winter heard a demo of “Silver Train” and released his version before The Stones own take on Goat’s Head Soup. Have a listen below.
