Edgar Winter's White Trash is the second studio album by Edgar Winter, and his first with his group White Trash. The album reached #111 on the Billboard charts, and produced the single "Keep Playin' That Rock 'n' Roll", which went to #70 on Billboard's Top 100. The album was prepped for quadraphonic sound, but was left unreleased in this format. The album was produced by Rick Derringer. In Canada, the album reached #82.[1] The track "Dying to Live" is sampled in 2Pac's posthumous release Runnin' (Dying to Live).
Guitar is played principally by Derringer, but Winter's older brother Johnny also plays on the track "I've Got News for You".
Reception
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, by Michael B. Smith said:
Perhaps one of his best-loved albums, Edgar Winter's White Trash combined funk, blues, R&B, and rock & roll to create one of the freshest sounds of the early '70s. Touching on gospel with "Fly Away" and "Save the Planet," Winter and his band cover all the bases, climbing into the lower end of the Top 40 with "Keep Playin' That Rock and Roll." Winter's hauntingly beautiful "Dying to Live," featuring some of his best piano work, serves as a valid anti-war statement, written at the height of the Vietnam era, and the remainder of the record is filled with genuine rock & roll/boogie-woogie/blues that will keep your head bobbing and your toes tapping.[2]
