Johnny Winter had a unique career plan: to make music. The lightning-fast guitarist fulfilled this wish magnificently, decade after decade, becoming one of the most respected singers and guitarists in rock. From the 1960s onwards, Winter was the unofficial torchbearer of the blues, standing up for his idols such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker and promoting their careers.

A musical prodigy, he grew up in Beaumont, Texas, on a diet of blues and rock’n’roll. As a teenager he hitchhiked to Louisiana almost every weekend to play in small nightclubs. After a short stay in college, he gave up his academic career and devoted himself to making music. This is the first collection of the “early years” to distinguish between the formative blues roots and the advance to the rock idiom. It is the best forerunner of his breakout record The Progressive Blues Experiment and the Johnny Winter album. Curated by blues historian Bill Dahl.
