Album Review:The Edgar Winter Groupwith Rick Derringer
Album Review:Edgar Winter's White Trash
Single Review:"Frankenstein"Only time will tell whether this ambitious work is truly great, but musically it is clearly excellent.Ronnie Montrose, whose guitar was so effective on recent Van Morrison albums, is given even more freedom here.Chuck Ruff on drums and Dan Hartman who sings and plays bass are new names to me, but they make for a solid punchy rhythm section.The material includes a splendid country song, "Round and Round," a Crosby, Stills and Nash type ditty, "Alta Mira," an unbearably sweet "Autumn," several hard driving rockers and a couple of personal statements from Edgar.As to the latter, he is no Van Morrison, but his lyrics show great sensitivity at times, communicating loneliness, frustration and struggle as well as exuberance and joyous boogie.Like a Stones album, you know it took hours of rehearsal and planning, yet it really does sound like it might have been produced in a single drunken evening of inspiration.Edgar Winter is the newest adherent to "glam rock" "jewel sexuality."However, it's the music inside that has undergone the real transformation.Tune in to "Autumn," "When It Comes" and "Round and Round."This may be heavy, but it's fast, which means real rock and roll after the attempted progress and hyperboogie.And instead of hyperthyroid Jerry LaCroix we get Dan Hartman, who knows enough about songs to come up with "Free Ride," and Ronnie Montrose, who knows enough about guitar to get by.And not only that but he wears lipstick, eye makeup, and a cheek stud on the cover.The commercial hits were "Free Ride" and "Frankenstein."Music Guide to Rock, 1995.Access one of the biggest Oldies librarieson the net with Real Networks' Rhapsody."Frankenstein," and the platinum album from which it was culled, They Only Come Out at Night, have changed all of that.But it mainly served to prove to him that the rock and soul he had played for cash in Texas was just as artistically worthy as the more esoteric stuff he had played after hours for friends.Roll Woman" are indicative of an occasional strained attempt to become more commercial which leads them into a certain silliness.At their best the Edgar Winter Group sounds like an American Led Zeppelin.Edgar Winter's songwriting is more sould inflected.He is one of the very few white musicians who has had the good taste to pick up on the directions pointed by Stevie Wonder and Sly Stone.On "Do Like Me" Winter's synthesizer sounds especially like Wonder, and his guttural vocal is out of the Sly handbook.Since his playing and production are so dominant in the group, this may seem only a minor misfortune.But the problem is accentuated because his lyrics are just the kind of facile, unpretentious stuff Hartman's and Winter's never are: He doesn't overreach for poetry, he just tries to write a song.Shock Treatment is fun to listen to, even if it doesn't produce anything substantial to ponder after it's over.Group member Dan Hartman, who wrote the majority of the cuts, is a truly outstanding vocalist and writer while Rick Derringer plays his usual choice guitar as well as handling production chores.Best cuts: "Easy Street," "Sundown," "Someone Take My Heart Away," "Maybe Someday You'll Call My Name."The latest Edgar Winter Group had all the ingredients necessary to become such a band, and to be very truthful about the matter I dropped their latest album on my turntable fully expecting to be bored to tears."Some Kinda Animal" and "Queen Of My Dreams."Ruff anchors the proceedings with solid forceful drumming from beginning to end.At least when he brought out his saxophone you could say he was different.Which is no doubt why he spends so much time with his synthesizer.Robert Christgau, Christgau's Record Guide, 1981.Or try
