Despite Edgar's scattered instrumental talents and associations it was Dan Hartman who caught my ear. Free Ride, Autumn,Round & Round,Instant Replay and I Can Dream About You..."They Only Come Out At Night" is in my top 25 albums list.Other than the radio smashes the rest of the album is a mix of feels, multi-talents and styles.And it sounds really great!

Saw EWG on UK television “Old Grey Whistle Test” playing a set that finished with “Frankenstein”. The performance was pure energy, with the whole band seeming to enjoy their first exposure on British TV. Bob Harris, the show’s presenter, who would usually talk after the band finished, was almost speechless, his only comment “amazing”. Praise indeed.

Was hoping to see Jerry Weems mentioned. He's the guy who played with them on Frankenstein on the Midnight Special clip you can find on KZbin. According to an interview with Chuck, Jerry was AWOL from the Army National Guard the entire time he was on tour. The army caught up with him at an airport one day while the group was on tour and threw him in solitary. No one from the band knew where he was for two weeks.

White Trash took on the elements of the Gulf Coast roadhouse sound, gritty soul and blues dance music. All the musicians were veterans of the Golden Triangle area, and their music defined the '60's & early '70's in coastal Texas and Louisiana. The "White Trash" studio album, featuring Jerry LaCroix's growling, heavily gospel influenced vocals, was a classic in its genre and an all-time great album. There is a cameo by Johnny in "I've Got News for You", and by Rick Derringer in "Keep Playing that Rock and Roll."

Ya got it wrong about Edgar a Child Prodigy, his mother was a pianist who taught him how to play the keyboard. His brother Johnny helped him to get a contract with Epic Records in New York. His hit song Keep Playing That Rock and Roll lyrics explains on his album They Only Come Out At Night along with his classic hits Frankenstein and Free Ride. In 1975 they're last album as a group was The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer recorded on Blue sky Records, with slumping sales of that album and Jasmine Night dream's it was then when the band broke up, it was a mutual agreement everyone wanted to pursue other projects, but their last live concert was in San Diego, Ca titled Edgar and Johnny Winter Live in the year of 1976.

Bobby Rimarez was the drummer in Edgar Winter’s white Trash, he was murdered outside a night club in Chicago in 1972, a tragic loss, he was of Mexican decent but so were his two attackers, apparently they took offence to his long hair. Bobby joined the band LaCroix with fellow ex-white trash musician, singer Jerry LaCroix, check out the album LaCroix it has that same White Trash vibe.

Most of THEY ONLY COME AT AT NIGHT + some White Trash ("Tobacco Road", "Keep Playing That Rock and Roll") and Rick Derringer solo material ("Rock 'n' Roll, Hootchie Coo", "Teenage Love Affair"). Right up front of Derringer and his Explorer. Hartman, at times, sported a doubleneck bass/guitar (used on "Free Ride").

Edgar is extremely talented in a number of musical styles, but I've always felt that he would spread himself too thin. Had he picked a more specific musical style (Like Johnny did with the blues) instead of dabbling with this and that he would have probably had more success in the long run.
