The Edgar Winter Group was the vehicle Edgar Winter, the multi-instrumentalist brother of blues guitarist Johnny Winter, drove through the first half of the '70s: a hard-rocking outfit that ran from 1972 to 1975 with Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff in the lineup and Winter himself working keyboards, saxophone and vocals at once.
They Only Come Out at Night, their 1972 album, carries "Frankenstein", a lurching monster of a track stitched together from riffs, keyboards and sax that swaggers like it owns the road. "Free Ride" goes the other way, a sunny, bouncing rocker with a chorus built for car radios.
Those two songs never left the building: they are still staples of classic rock radio, and the band's records came out on Epic.
