The Definitive Collection (2-CD Set)

The Definitive Collection (2-CD Set)
- Shrink-wrapped
After gaining notice as a sideman on his brother Johnnyâ€™s Second Winter album, keyboardist/saxophonist/composer Edgar Winter signed to Epic Records and quickly became one of the biggest stars of the â€˜70s, releasing eight charting albums during the decade including the #3 smash They Only Come Out at Night. But aside from his commercial success, what makes Edgar Winter such an intriguing artistâ€”and worthy of a 2-CD, 30-track retrospective, his biggest everâ€”is that he never stayed in one stylistic rut. Elements of blues, jazz, soul, and funk swirl within his music, sometimes even in the same song (e.g. â€œFrankensteinâ€), and the level of musicianshipâ€”with such sidemen/band members as Rick Derringer, Ronnie Montrose, Dan Hartman, and, of course, brother Johnny Winterâ€”is never less than top shelf. This 30-track collection hits all the high points in chronological order, offering such hits and album tracks as â€œGive It Everything You Got,â€ â€œKeep Playinâ€™ That Rock â€˜nâ€™ Roll,â€ â€œRock & Roll, Hoochie Koo.â€ â€œFree Ride,â€ â€œFrankenstein,â€ â€œRiverâ€™s Risinâ€™,â€ â€œEasy Steet,â€ and more, and pulls tracks from all 11 of the albums he recorded for Epic and Blue Sky featuring all of the various aggregations (Edgar Winterâ€™s White Trash, The Edgar Winter Group, and his Together album with Johnny) that he led. Bill Koppâ€™s liner notes share the fruits of a 2 Â½ hour-long interview, and weâ€™ve included copious photos and album shots. Remastered by Darren Salmieri at Battery Studios in New Yorkâ€¦some of the best blues-rock of the â€˜70s!
