Ames. From that material, The Johnny Winter Story appeared on GRT Records in 1969, followed that same year by About Blues on the Janus Records label. The following year saw Janus release another collection: Early Times. They became the definitive collections of the future legend’s early work.  Now, for the first time, the material from those compilations is available in one place: The Johnny Winter Story (The GRT\/Janus Recordings). Featuring 33 tracks on CD, the years before Winter became a multiple Grammy® winner (for both his own records and his production work on three Muddy Waters classics including Hard Again and I’m Ready) are available in one place.  Newly remastered by Grammy®-winning engineer, Michael Graves, The Johnny Winter Story (The GRT\/Janus Recordings) also features the original 1969 liner notes from producer, Testament Records founder\/owner, and blues historian Pete Welding.  Before being on the cover of the first issue of Guitar World, before becoming the  first  non-African American performer inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, before being named as one of Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time, it had to start somewhere.
