These records competed with his official releases and some were doctored with later overdubs by other musicians. Throughout his career, Winter's recording catalogue was plagued by bootleg albums and unauthorized re-releases of singles from his early pre-Columbia Records days. Several live albums and compilations have appeared on Billboard's 'Blues Albums' specialty chart. Winter's last studio album, Step Back, released shortly after his death in 2014, was his most successful in the record charts since his Columbia period. In 2007, he began producing a number of albums from his personal recordings, designated the 'Live Bootleg Series'. These included Alligator Records, MCA Records' Voyager subsidiary, Point Blank Records, Virgin Records, and Megaforce Records.

In the years after 1984, Winter changed record companies several times, never remaining with any one for more than three albums. He produced Hard Again (1977), which earned Waters a Grammy Award and helped re-establish his popularity. At Blue Sky, Winter also became a producer and was responsible for releases by Chicago blues pioneer Muddy Waters. īeginning in 1973, Winter's music was issued by Blue Sky Records, a Columbia custom label. In 1974, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Live Johnny Winter And gold, his only record to receive an award from the organization.

With the label, Winter had his greatest success on the main American record chart 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. In 1968, Winter completed his first album, The Progressive Blues Experiment, and in 1969, he was signed to Columbia Records.

From 1959 to 1967, he recorded several singles for mostly small record companies in his native Texas. Johnny Winter (1944–2014) was an American rock and blues musician.
