Edgar follows his last LP (which hit the number one spot) with a set that does more than anything he has yet come up with to showcase his instrumental skill, ability to move through different kinds of material from wild rock to softer sounding cuts to soulful tones, and his fine band.
Winter is outstanding on keyboards, synthesizer and saxophone and is a more than capable vocalist on the cuts he handles lead on.
The latest EdgarWinterGroup 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.
