JOHNNY and EDGAR WINTER: Together
-
Artist:
Although Edgar is saddled with the Frankenstein tag and Johnny has seemed to labor in the shadows of the more well known blues brethren both of these brothers can hang with the best of them. As seen in the photos adorning the sleeve these boys were born to play music. While they may not be the most attractive kids on the block (refer back to the afore mentioned sleeve pictures) these boys live to entertain. The selection of material firmly plants itself in the rock 'n' roll garden. Live and loose with fellow traveler Rick Derringer aboard, it's a lesson in playing from the heart the music you love. Great cover portraits, front and back. Had these brothers not been born they would've been invented, such is the need that they fill. This review is for the vinyl LP, so the song selection may be slightly different (modern CD's often add a song or two). However, this is a brilliant, highly enjoyable blues/rock album recorded live with both Johnny and Edgar Winter . The tracks are mostly old blues/rock standards and with the Winters and their talented band at the helm, the tunes sizzle like bacon. If you like blues/rock, you will love this energetic live album. R. Morris "Rob & Matt Morris Five stars.
