Roadwork is a live double album featuring Edgar Winter’s band White Trash including contributions from Rick Derringer and brother Johnny. Recorded at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, Los Angeles and the Apollo Theatre, New York. (US:23)

“This is absolutely indispensable. One of the finest live albums ever issued with more energy than can be found in the entire catalogues of most bands.”

“White Trash play music that sounds just like their name; sweaty, dirty, bluesy raunchy rock & roll. They do this very well. Brother Johnny and Rick Derringer provide the great guitar work and everybody's contributions are top of the line.”

“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 won't let go. In addition to being an amazing keyboard and saxophone player, Edgar Winter is an incredible vocalist.”

“Roadwork is a raw, blistering, white hot collection of rock/R & B/jazz/gospel barnburners as only the horn-heavy Edgar Winter's White Trash could administer.”

“Gospel, soul, R & B, jazz, blues, rock & roll, this record has it all. A live experience not too be missed, it showcases many fine musicians, whether it's Jerry LaCroix enticing the Apollo audience to dance, or Edgar Winter's banshee screams, or Rick Derringer's guitar playing, or Jon Smith's brilliant saxophone leading the horn section's punchy arrangements.”

“This is live rock and roll at its finest. Edgar Winter at the keyboards, Rick Derringer on guitar, and Jerry LaCroix on saxophone combine to rattle the walls of the Apollo Theatre and the Whiskey A' Go Go . All of this music is tasty and lively.”

“Some sloppy playing in spots and some questionable song choices, but the epic Tobacco Road is worth the price of admission.”
