The Winter of '88 is a 1988 album by Johnny Winter. It was released by MCA Records and it represents Winter's first album with a major after years spent with smaller labels such as Blue Sky Records and Alligator Records. The album contains three compositions by Jerry Lynn Williams who also had several of his songs recorded by Eric Clapton. Winter chose to record the album with his live band at the time, consisting in Jon Paris on bass and harmonica and Tom Compton on drums. He chose, however, to retain Ken Saydak on keyboards from his time with Alligator. Stylistically, the album indicates a return to a more rock-oriented sound.
