MONSTER MASH

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Blues rocking Texan Edgar Winter's greatest hits only contains a pair of bona fide Top 40 classics, the chart topping instrumental "Frankenstein" (kids, think Tiger Woods' car ad of a few years back), and the Dan Hartman composed and sung "Free Ride". But that's hardly the point. The well respected keyboardist/saxman dabbles easily in country ("Round and Round"), pure blues ("Tobacco Road"), horn driven rock ("Keep Playin' That Rock and Roll"), funk ("We All Had a Real Good Time"), and other musical genres. After sampling this potpourri of pop styles, new fans are advised to check out "Roadwork", a blistering live outing by Edgar Winter's White Trash (a soul/blues revue with guest blasts from Rick Derringer and brother Johnny Winter) and the seventies milestone "They Only Come Out at Night", featuring "Frankenstein". Any albino that can hold his own against George Hamilton in a beer commercial is worth checking out, in my book."
His best collection

"The best Edgar Winter collection available, partly because it includes the Dan Hartman hits from the Edgar Winter Group. Includes all the hits from the Edgar Winter Group such as Frankentstein, Free Ride, Rivers Risin, and Hangin Around, plus some of the best of Edgar Winter's White Trash. An excellent compilation."
This, BEST OF EDGAR WINTER, And Several Of His Other Albums

"THE EDGAR WINTER COLLECTION, along with BEST OF EDGAR WINTER, EDGAR WINTER'S WHITE TRASH, THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT, and his latest, REBEL ROAD, are the first Edgar Winter albums you should buy. This one has several songs that were left off BEST OF, including "River's Risin'", "Hangin' Around", and "Round And Round." Like BEST OF, this CD/cassette showcases Edgar Winter's 70s guitarists- Floyd Radford, Ronnie Montrose, and Rick Derringer- extremely effectively, as each played with him at different times during his peak years. With the songs featured on this exceptional anthology, Winter, who's legally blind, proves that a disability doesn't have to be a handicap."
