Lyrics:

Instrumental

Just how often does one get to see an albino musician positively shred the keyboards, saxophone, and drums in a single video? In the following live performance, Edgar Winter does just that. The Edgar Winter Group’s 1972 album, They Only Come Out at Night, contained two rock radio hits: Free Ride and Frankenstein.

Multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter has released 21 albums, some solo and some with his band, and continues touring today at 71. Unknown to many, the guitarist in Winter’s band is none other than Rick Derringer, formerly of The McCoys and later, the artist who released Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo (from 1973’s All-American Boy). As a side-note, my local classic rock station, WFBQ Q95, played Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo so many times during the 1980s that I can longer bear to hear to it. That song has become a station changer for me, but I digress.

Let Frankenstein put some shimmy in your proverbial shake, my babies.
