In 1983, an album called Whoopin' that Winter made with blues harp player Sonny Terry , bassist Willie Dixon, and drummer Steve Homnick was released by Alligator Records and led to a contract with the Chicago-based blues label the following year. Winter's first Alligator release, Guitar Slinger , became the label's biggest-selling album up until that time. In 1986, Winter became the first white artist inducted into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame. Me In , which had a richer blues payload than its predecessor, and Hey, Where's Your Brother . Both albums were produced by Dick Shurman.
Winter lives in New York City and continues to record and perform.
