Edgar Winter - They Only Come Out at Night/Shock Treatment

2007 two-fer from the Rock great features two of his classic '70s albums on one disc. They Only Come Out at Night (1972) will forever be remembered for spawning the huge hit singles 'Frankenstein' and 'Free Ride', but there's plenty more to appreciate on this stellar release. From 'Hangin' Around', to the pretty melodies of 'Round & Around' and 'Autumn', the set collects ten outstanding cuts, played with fervor by Edgar Winter, Chuck Ruff, Dan Hartman, Randy Jo Hobbs and Ronnie Montrose, along with guest artist/producer Rick Derringer. Beginning with 1974's Shock Treatment's answer to the previous album's 'Hangin' Around', 'Some Kinda Animal', the band moves into the excellent blues torcher 'Easy Street', which is painted with highlights from the substantial saxophone talent of Winter, not to mention some of his finest singing. Like They Only Come Out at Night, this recording includes a pair of haunting ballads, 'Maybe Someday You'll Call My Name' and 'Someone Take My Heart Away'. Gott Discs. 2007.
