The Whole Blue Eyed Gospel Soul Thing Rolled Into One.........2007-02-13

White Trash were an interesting band of jazz,soul,funk,gospel all rolled into one large cacophony of sound reminiscent of what was going down at the time with the likes of Delaney @ Bonnie, Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Blood Sweat @ Tears, The Flock..The maniacal screaming albino keyboard rocker Edgar, whose blues man brother Johnny Winter joins him on a track released this 2 LP LIVE set that is all shucking and jive, good musicians with the likes of Rick Derringer and Jerry LaCroix, an audible horn section ..all pretty unique stuff where musicianship was all very important.
Edgar Winter was a trip.

Great album -- really captures the concert feeling.......2007-02-03

This one is about having a great time with a BIG band, soulful grooves, horns, and a lot (maybe too much) of screaming. It's a little sloppy at times, "Tobacco Road" goes on a little too long, but you also get Jon Smith's wonderful sax work, some of Rick Derringer's best playing, and an overall feeling of energy and interaction and love of the music that puts a smile on your face. I had the good luck to see this band in the early 70s at the Academy of Music, and while I kept waiting for Johnny to show up (he didn't), it was still one of the most exciting (and loud) nights of live music I've ever experienced. "Save the Planet" is like going to church.

UNDERRATED.......2007-01-09

AS MY TITLE INDICATES >>THIS WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING LIVE BANDS ON ANY TOUR. THIS GROUP IN MY OPINION WAS VASTLY UNDER-RATED. 'ROCK AND SOUL' LIKE YOU NEVER HEARD IT>THESE GUYS WERE SO GOOD ,THEY SHUOLD HAVE BEEN BLACK. yES A TERRIBLE RECORDING , NO DOUBT, BUT YOU GET THE 'LIVE FEELING FROM THIS RECORDING, AND THE ARRANGEMENTS IN REGARDS TO ALL THE MUSIC >>>>IS FANTASTIC.i OWN THE ALBUM, AND THE CD >? I LOVE THE HORRIBLE RECORDING ON THE ALBUM>>THE CD HAS LOST ALL THE FAT IN THE BOTTOM END .

Peels the paint off the walls.......2006-02-11

I first heard this album in the early 70's in high school. Now I've turned my own kids (21, 20, 16, 16 and 13) onto it. They can't believe that you could once go into a club and hear bands like this LIVE. They only listen to classic stuff I give them now; there's nothing on the radio that remotely comes close to the gut-wrenching energy of great musicians playing live at full throttle. If you only know Edgar Winter from his "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride" days, you've got an eye-opening experience ahead of you. Listen in particular to Edgar's 18 second full-throated stratospheric sustained vocal in Tobacco Road. You could refinish furniture by putting it in front of the speakers with this song turned up. An absolute MUST HAVE CD.

"People keep askin' me - where's your brother?".......2005-11-23

It's truly a shame that more people aren't familiar with this album. Simply put, Roadwork has got to be one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. From the gospel-tinged "Save the Planet" to the raw blues of "Tobacco Road," this recording just grabs you right from the first song and just won't let go. In addition to being an amazing keyboard and saxophone player, Edgar Winter is an incredible vocalist. When you add the incendiary Jerry La Croix, an equally amazing vocalist, the result sends chills down your spine. For you guys who are air guitar specialists, I recommend that you check out Rick Derringer's rendition of Chuck Berry's "Back in the USA." Derringer proves beyond a doubt why he's a legend on the six string. But it's not enough just to have Rick Derringer on the scene. Edgar introduces his brother Johnny for a fiery version of "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo."There are so many highlights on this recording that it's hard to select just one as a favorite. Certainly one of the highlights is "Tobacco Road." After you've heard Edgar Winter's White Trash work out on this cut, it's just like there's nothing more to be said. If I had to pick just one cut to represent the genius and passion of this album, I'd go with the old rhythm and blues classic "Turn on Your Love Light." Listen as the horns blast out that classic riff and then let Jerry La Croix take you on a trip where the soul of man never dies. This is rock n roll with a vengeance! Or, as Jerry exhorts the crowd at the Apollo: "If you feel like lettin' it out, hot damn, let it out."

There's a certain kind of music... got to make you jump and shout!.......2006-11-30

The late 60s / early 70s was a time of remarkable innovation in pop music. (The Beatles were at their zenith; Woodstock had just happened; artists were experimenting.) One of the directions was "rock music with a horn section." (Think "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Traffic," and "Chicago Transit Authority" ... before they shortened their name and started pumping out the smarmy FM-radio ballads.)

Edgar Winter's "White Trash" band emerged from that era, and this debut recording stands up very nicely, 35 years later. Some of it is rockin' soul music, some of it is soulful rock music; all of it features a fat horn section and the vocal stylings of Jerry LaCroix and the ultra-white Edgar Winter. (He and his previously-famous brother, blues guitar-slinger Johnny, are both albino dudes, with white skin and pink eyes. But you'd never guess it by listening to 'em... if I can say so without offending anybody, their music is quite a few shades darker!)

Edgar tells the story of his rise to fame in the autobiographical song "Keep Playin' that Rock 'n' Roll." (a line of which is the title to this review.) It's a good 'un. Other personal favorites: "Save the Planet" (Edgar was WAY before Algore's time, and is more convincing to boot), the blues-soaked "I've Got News for You," and "Good Morning Music."

Blazing rock n' roll.......2006-01-20

I first heard and saw Edgar Winter as a teenager in 1972 quite by accident. I purchased tickets to see Humble Pie at Atlanta's old Municipal Auditorium, White Trash was the opening act, and guess who blew who off the stage? I was mesmerised by the sound and energy of Edgar & White Trash, so was my girlfriend (boy did I get lucky that night!). I soon purchased this album and 'Roadwork' and nearly wore the grooves off both. Keep Playin' That Rock N' Roll is in my opinion the quintesentail rock party tune, can't quit playing air guitar to it. What a great first release by an artist who could not survive the disco blitz of the late 70's. Every rock/blues fan should own 'White Trash'.

First Rocker for Edgar a Gem.......2005-10-12

I first heard Edgar Winter's White Trash as the opening act for Alice Cooper (it was my girlfriend's idea) in a packed arena in the spring of 1972. I was amazed; they stole the show, and I went right out the next day and bought this album.

A better live act than a studio one ("Roadwork", their only other release before Edgar turned pop-disco, is an incredible album), the debut album is nevertheless well-done, and a number of the songs reflect the energy of the group's live performances, especially the gospel numbers "Fly Away" and "Save the Planet", and the Ray Charles cover "I've Got News for You."

You can almost feel the sweat, sawdust, and smoke eminating from the pores of your speakers, and Jerry LaCroix's gravelly voice both blends with and counterpoints Edgar's high-pitched wails as the horns drive the engine.

They reunited for an album years later called "Edgar Winter's White Trash Revisited." A studio effort, it didn't have the quality of tunes or the drive of the original, but it still had those great voices. I'd love to see it on disc one day, as well as the live album Edgar did with his brother Johnny that featured one of the best rock and roll fifties-sixties medleys I've ever heard.

Edgar's debut album, "The Edgar Winter Experience", was a great 'small' album featuring Edgar singing a dozen of his own original jazz tunes, a totally different style. Love to hear that one again, too.

Till then, I'll groove on "White Trash" and "Roadwork."

Underrated Gem.......2005-04-30

On this brass-heavy hard rock album, there is not one track that is not wonderful. From the foot-stomping "Give It Everything You Got" to the burlesque beat of "I've Got News for You", this is a fine, fine album. Standout tracks include "Dying to Live", "Fly Away" and "You Were My Life", although ALL tracks resonate.

If you like Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears or Springsteen and the E-Street band, you gotta get this CD.

Edgar and the Boys Cook on this one!.......2005-03-18

How does one describe Edgar and White Trash? You have to hear 'em to to believe 'em. The album is one of those few great truly creative moments in American music. I first heard this ablbum when it originally came out in 1971, and I've never forgotten any of these songs. Get it and enjoy!

By the way, if you ever get a chance to Johnny Winter's "Jazz Blues Fusion" (1962?) that also is a truly fabulous experience.

Who are these Winter brothers???!!!

Album Description

Although known mostly as a Blues musician, saxophonist, keyboardist and composer Edgar Winter is one musician who's never been afraid to venture into multiple musical arenas, often times within the space of one album, as in his debut, Entrance. Edgar was signed to Epic Records in 1970 after performing on his brother's Second Winter album. He recorded Entrance, which featured himself on most of the instruments. After radio success accompanying his brother on Johnny Winter And, he formed a large horn ensemble called White Trash. Although it was a short-lived group which broke up in mid-'72, Winter assembled another group to record two more albums for Epic Records, White Trash and Roadwork. Here we have the first two records on one CD. Remastered, slip-cased and with new notes. BGO. 2005.

Recyled and Rejuvenated .......2007-06-11

Edgar Winter has always been a record company's nightmare. Why - because he is just such a damn good musician and singer. He can cover just about any genre of music with conviction and creativity. White Trash was always his best vehicle as it put him in charge of a rockin' R&B horn band with the added pleasure of a second powerful lead singer, Jerry Lacroix. The group unfortunately only lasted for two records which left me and alot of fans wanting for more. This record appeared in the late '70's and went vitually unnoticed. The rhythm section gets a funkin' update with an obvious nod to Tower of Power, and Edgar and Jerry pick up where they left off with their double-barreled soul singing tour de force. Their are a couple of less than stellar moments, but "Leftover Love" and "Stickin' it Out" just smoke with Edgar singing and playing his tail off. Jerry gives his all on "In and Out of Love Blues". For me this record/CD is a must have if you have any musical interest in great R&B with a blusey edge.

Disappointing Reissue

You would have thought BGO would have remastered this gem when they reissued it in 2003. I assumed they did and dropped $20 to buy it. Very disappointed. Sound is virtually identical as the Sony 1989 release (this version has a slightly deeper bass sound).

SOMEBODY PLEASE REMASTER THIS!!!!!

Another gem from 1972!.......2004-10-02

This album and 'Roadwork' were probably the best that Edgar Winter has ever released, although when it came to commercial success "They Only Come Out At Night" scores the highest since alot of chart singles were released from that album.
Thanks to Emperor Rosko this album got alot of airplay on British radio in 1972. Very funky throughout especially on the gospel groove "Save The Planet" (almost could've been written by Laura Nyro) "Give It Everything You've Got" has that Allen Toussaint sound. "Keep Playin' That Rock 'n'Roll" is a short auto-biographical account of Johnny & Edgars careers.
The main reason why I rate this one and Edgars live 'Roadwork' is on account of the SUPERB vocals of Jerry LaCroix, probably one of the most underrated singers that ever lived. The closest thing to a white version of Ray Charles!! Just listen to him sing Rays blues ballad "I've Got News for You" (which also features Johnny Winter on rhythm guitar)
LaCroixs voice can make your hair stand on end. Every track on this one is superb and full of raw, in-your-face earthiness. No slick commercial hype on this album.
A wonderful album fully reminiscent of the talent filled early '70s when the Blues still had a strong influence on the rock idiom and people really knew how to play their instruments.

Another comment from Bend.......1999-01-30

The album that Norway and I were looking for is Roadwork and is available from Amazon! I've already got a copy in my shopping cart . . .

Great, but 2nd still to the live album.......1999-01-30

I agree with the previous review from the person in Norway. The live album cut by Edgar Winter and the White Trash was classic. If anyone can figure how to get copies of this please post the info here.

Edgar with the white trash were really a favourite.......1999-01-19

Dear Edgar Winther fan like I am. I really looking for the Cassett, LP or CD from the White Trash live consert where Edgar's brother Johnny came on stage and played among other Tobacco road. Can anyone help me to get that cassett, LP or CD. I only bought cassett many years ago, but the tape broke and it is lost. I do not know the name for that LP, but if anyone can help me I will be glad.

Forceful, trashy blues/rock deserves a listen.......1998-08-15

Forget "Frankenstein", this is the best of Edgar Winter. Edgar,lead singer Leo Lacroix and the rest of the "White Trash" ensemble are on fire on this classic album. I saw this act in the 70's and they blew away every stop with a high-energy blues/rock/soul revue. The horn section (featuring Edgar's sax)and lead guitarist (a relatively big name player whom I can't recall)is terrific. Why this band was never more popular is a mystery.

One Of The Best Edgar Winter Albums!.......2006-03-20

Now I enjoy Edgar Winter's commercial rock stuff like "Frankenstein",even if it is pretty bloated.But the 1977 recording 'Recycled' features everything that makes Edgar Winter such a great talent.White Trash are his most musically diverse and talened outfit to be sure and more modern artists like Prince must have been listening very closely because at it's core 'Recycled'is all about the groove,musical and lyrical freedom.If you want to get to the basics of it 'Recycled' is Edgar Winter's 70's funk album-with rhythms that stay on the one,some smooth grooves and plently of hot horns and clavinet riffing."Puttin' It Back","Shake It Off","Stickin' It Out","Open Up" and the closing jam "Competition" are all superb examples.All of them have great group singing but Edgar's own unique vocal gymnastics are the part I find most impressive.Of course Edgar Winter/White Trash are diverse enough to add one pop oriented (if like minded) tune with the catchy "Leftover Love"-to most people that could be the strongest tune here.And of course "New Wave" has that same crazy gospel touch that made White Trash so enjoyable in the first place.For lovers of slower,less manic music "Paralell Love" is an extremely strong example-showing off great vocal harmonies and arrangements and (like everything else here) filled with great soulful sax wailing from Winter himself!"The In And Out Of Love Blues" is a good genre excersise but in my opinion even the blues pieces on Winter's brilliant debut 'Entrance' sounded like mere attempts to emulate his older brother Johnny and isn't too convincing.Edgar Winter is far more at home with funk,soul,rock and jazz then he is with roadhouse R&B and blues but this is still a good song.Why 'Recyled' is out of print domestically is unknown to me.But personally the way I see it is this-I love Rick Derringer and especially the late/great Dan Hartman but Edgar Winter with White Trash and as a solo artist is brilliant,gifted and innovative but is hopelessly indulgent,loud and commercial with The Edgar Winter Group.It's pretty clear for people who understand music that soulful grooves and jams as well as jazzier ones are Edgar Winter's forte and his writing and vocal style are more comfortable in those areas.So to anyone who does (or wants) to understand that simple truth I highly recommend 'Recycled'.

A Rare Gemstone.......2004-01-12

If you can get your hands on this album by all means...
It has some of Edgar's best work.Leftover Love is great to listen to while your out driving on a hot summer day with the windows rolled down.Stickin It Out was the single from this album and it should have gotten lots more attention as the music is a ray of sunlight.Parallel Love is some of the best early smooth jazz I have ever heard, a great romantic tune to listen to with that special some one.
Puttin It Back reminds me of Old Trash and is a great beginning.The In And Out Of Love Blues is a classy blues number which will have you wishing it never ended.
A must buy for any fan of Edgar.
Shake It Off is hillarious as it seems to be White Trash's answer to the then dance craze.

White Trash Recycled yields gold !.......2002-04-14

This re-gathering of the White Trash is a super energized, funky, bluesy reunion of some great musicians. Super quality production still holds up today. Jerry Lacroix and Edgars voices and sax playing lite a fire under the music and listeners backside. As always, so incredibly tight and well arranged music. This is not Edgar leading the band, but Edgar as an excellent musician and singer along with all the rest of the band. "Shake it" is a great tight funk-blues song which features the excellent soloing and musicianship of the band.....This'll have you movin' in the livinroom!! Edgar - quality music and a quality guy as well!!
