    4 cd box set $51 at Amazon. Track selection looks pretty good. Can't speak to SQ as I was listening to it on MSN listening booth.

    From a guy on Amazon
    Sony/BMG have produced an overdue four disc retrospective on Johnny Winter, 'True To The Blues,' released two days after his 70th birthday. I'm giving it five stars because most of the music rates it, but if you're a big fan you probably have most of the contents. The only unreleased material is four cuts recorded live at the Atlanta Pop Festival (overdue for a boxed set and DVD itself). I've listed the sources underneath the respective tracks, and links to certain full albums I feel are his best. When trying to compile an artist with the longevity of Johnny there are bound to be fan favorites missing, personally I would've added "Leland Mississippi Blues," "Drown In My Own Tears" and "Fast Life Rider" instead of two versions each of "Mean Town Blues," "It's My Own Fault" and "Highway 61 Revisited" (even though each is studio & live), but I digress. Except for the first two tracks from his debut album on Liberty (now EMI) the rest of the first three discs and initial six tracks on the fourth are from his long tenure on Columbia Records, with his stops at Alligator, MCA, Pointblank, Friday and Sonobeat getting the short shrift. The only studio album not represented is 'I'm A Bluesman,' which some consider his weakest. The best white bluesman bar non, Johnny Winter's output over the years has had an impressive consistency, so if you've only touched your toe in the water before, it's a great set to get. If you're a big fan (like me) peruse the track list before ordering....


    Since I have "a lot" of LP's and CD's by Johnny Winter I think I'll pass.

    Can't get enough of Norah. SACD

    Attachment not found.
    Just an amazing album for Norah. She does a fantastic job covering "The Nearness of You" , but honestly, Jo Stafford 's version of it was simply magical.

    Ian Thomas Band ~ Still Here............1978

    If you're a fan of late 70's Contemporary Pop/Rock this is worth searching out.

    Hey Chums and P-Man, check out Johnny Winter's archive series, live stuff put out since Paul Nelson took over as manager, some real good stuff in there. I haven't checked for awhile, there could be ten or more of them now. I had the first two but they got magic feet one time and left with one of my so-called friends. I heard a few others, they've done a good job of selecting real good live stuff from his archives.

    Hey Don. You talking about the bootleg series ? Can't seem to find any info on archive series.

    Of course, that first live album Johnny Winter did was awfully tasty as well, sometimes called The Progressive Blues Experiment, sometimes called Austin, Texas, sometimes called something else. Same show, actually not a show the band was standing in a circle in an empty Gas Works or whatever the place was called. Nothing but raw blues on that one.
