the Johnny Winter story

"Bridging the British blues revival of the '60s with the southern rock renaissance of the '70s, the six-stringed genius Johnny Winter caught countless listeners by the ears, from Beaumont, Texas to Woodstock and beyond. His high-energy approach to the blues--reverent to tradition but uniquely his own--made him not only one of the most sought-after new artists of his time, but a peer and equal to the blues legends he worshipped from the beginning. And Winter's tremendous live act, which has knocked crowds flat from the Filmore East to the Isle of Wight, further underlies his status as a guitar icon. "True to the Blues: The Johnny Winter Story" is Winter's first-ever career-spanning box set, capturing Johnny's classic recordings and most electrifying live performances including two previously unreleased songs, over five decades of rock and roll." -- container
