A Classic

guit-boxplayer

My favorite album by EWWT is Roadwork only because they get to stretch out a little more musically. Another reason is because Roadwork was the first album I purchased by Winter. So listening to "Save the Planet" for example on this album...I don't want to say was a letdown but obviously the live energy wasn't there. All that being said, this is still in my top 3 of the Edgar Winter discs (the other being The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer (Shock Treatment)).

One of the 10 best

Rock & Roll albums of all time. This band rocks big time and the talent is so deep you can easily drown in it. The vocals are some of the best I've ever heard (I am a singer and I know talent and this is TALENT) and it sounds better to me today than it did in 1971. Some music does not age well but this is a classic that all should give a listen to----much better than "They Only Come Out At Night".

Perhaps one of his best-loved albums, Edgar Winter’s White Trash combined funk, blues, R&B, and rock & roll to create one of the freshest sounds of the early ’70s. Touching on gospel with “Fly Away” and “Save the Planet,” Winter and his band cover all the bases, climbing into the lower end of the Top 40 with “Keep Playin’ That Rock and Roll.” Winter’s hauntingly beautiful “Dying to Live,” featuring some of his best piano work, serves as a valid anti-war statement, written at the height of the Vietnam era, and the remainder of the record is filled with genuine rock & roll/boogie-woogie/blues that will keep your head bobbing and your toes tapping. – Michael B.
