I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.

The following lists Johnny Winter's official albums. Several Winter albums were also nominated for Grammy Awards. The album's success coincided with Imperial Records picking up The Progressive Blues Experiment for wider release.

In 1988 he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and in 2003 he was ranked 63rd in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". Best known for his late 1960s and 1970s high-energy blues-rock albums and live performances Winter also produced three Grammy Award-winning albums for blues legend Muddy Waters.
