For his follow up album Texan blues-rock guitarist Edgar Winter recruited several musicians to form his backing group White Trash. The new album was steeped in deep blues and southern gospel. (US:111)
“Southern blues-rock does not get much better than this. Once the needle hits the first groove till the last, this is terrific. The dual guitars of Rick Derringer and brother Johnny are everywhere and the overall vibe is down and dirty.”
“Blending hard-driving rock & roll with gritty, funky R & B, the music kicks harder than a team of mules. This is gut-busting, greasy, true grit Texas roadhouse music, just the kind of thing you want to put on at a down-home summer barbecue.”
“There are so many facets to this truly wondrous album. Rick Derringer and Johnny Winter's guitars are like fire and ice all over the place. The album is absolutely soaked and steeped in deep blues and southern gospel.”
“I wonder if people who grew up in the late 60s/early 70s took it for granted that every time they turned around some instant rock and blues classic would come out all the time. Well this is one of them. But sometimes I think people forget why this album is so revered. This album and serves as something of a transition from the psychedelic jazz-funk of the earlier Entrance and the blistering southern rock of his next They Only Come Out At Night. The overall result is a horn heavy, passionately sung early 70s blues-rock that is very funky and rockin' all the way.”
“Every track on this one is superb and full of raw, in-your-face earthiness with no slick commercial hype. 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.”
“You can almost feel the sweat, sawdust and smoke emanating 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.”
