Johnny Winter discography

Johnny Winter (1944–2014) was an American rock and blues musician. With his brother Edgar, Winter recorded his first 45 rpm record single in 1959. Over the next nine years, he recorded a number of singles, which were released by mostly small record companies in his native Texas. In 1968, Winter recorded his first album, The Progressive Blues Experiment, and in 1969, he was signed to Columbia Records. With Columbia, Winter had his greatest success on the main American record charts; Johnny Winter (1969), Second Winter (1969), Live Johnny Winter And (1971), and Still Alive and Well (1973) all reached the top forty on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Beginning in 1973, Winter's music was issued by Blue Sky Records, a Columbia custom label. At Blue Sky, Winter also became a producer and was responsible for releases by Chicago blues pioneer Muddy Waters. He produced Hard Again (1977), which earned Waters a Grammy Award and helped re-establish his popularity. In the years after 1984, Winter changed record companies several times, never remaining at any one for more than two or three albums. These included Alligator Records, MCA Records' Voyager subsidiary, Point Blank Records, Virgin Records, and Megaforce Records. In 2007, he began producing a number of albums from his personal recordings, designated the "Live Bootleg Series". Winter's last studio album, Step Back (2014), is his most successful in the record charts since his Columbia period. Live albums and compilations continue to be released, with several appearing on Billboard's "Blues Albums" specialty chart.

Throughout his career, Winter was dogged by bootleg recordings and unauthorized re-releases of singles from his early pre-Columbia Records days. These records competed with his official releases. According to one biographer, only about fifteen percent of Winter's commercially available recordings are legitimate, leaving 85 percent that he had no control over.[1] Some of the releases were doctored with later overdubs by other musicians. Royalties were not Winter's primary concern, "I just don't want that bullshit out ... It's just bad music".[2] Winter's discography and royalty situation was also complicated by the fact that he did not have a recording contract from 1980 to 1983.[3]

Live Bootleg Series albums

The "Live Bootleg Series" are authorized, official releases produced by Winter for the Friday Music label. The CDs and LPs include the notice: "All master recordings are owned and controlled by Johnny Winter and are compiled from the authorized Johnny Winter archives". The recordings were not state-of-the-art for the time and many similar recordings had previously circulated as actual bootleg albums. The peak chart positions refer to Billboard's "Blues Albums" chart.

Compilation albums

After signing to Columbia Records in 1969, Winter's former associates began licensing albums consisting of his previous singles and demos for various labels.[46] These 40 or so songs continue to be re-packaged and re-released by numerous small record companies.[46] In several interviews, Winter asserts that these were unauthorized and that some have been overdubbed with other musicians.[47] For completeness, two of the more noteworthy compilations of pre-1968 are included. The rest of those listed below contain songs that were recorded from 1968 on.
