Edgar Winter has a prodigious history in the world of Rock and Roll, performing with an impressive array of musicians in several incarnations over the years. Trying to determine what was the best period for Edgar will lead to a spirited discussion with any discerning rockers. Talking with those who have actually performed with Edgar will reveal the respect and admiration other musicians have for him and how he seems to bring out the best in others. This is why Edgar, once again, will be part of the upcoming Ringo Starr All Starr Band tour headed out for its tenth season, beginning June 19 in Niagara Falls, Ontario and stretching into early August. Appearing with Edgar and Ringo will be veteran rockers Gary Wright, Billy Squier and former Men At Work leader Colin Hay. We have no doubt that the venerable Mr. Winter will help raise the bar for even these respected performers. All the tour stops are listed on the official website EdgarWinter.com Now that we've talked a bit about history, let's devote some time to the present and future. Winter has a forthcoming CD titled "Rebel Road" ready to drop on July 8th. For this forthcoming release Edgar decided to invite a few guests to help bring out the best in him. The opening and title track "Rebel Road" lives up to its implied promise to rock, featuring a man who knows his way around a guitar and is famous enough to be known worldwide by a single name, Slash. This stone cold rocker sets the tone, and the standard, for the remainder of the album. It's a foot-stomping, back beat laden, highway ready song with a trademark, gritty vocal from Winter and a memorable guitar romp from Slash. That's then followed by "Eye On You", which displays a dash of the famous funk that is patented Edgar Winter with a suspended animation, dreamy breakdown. Then comes a shocker duet with country legend Clint Black which is nothing short of a barroom anthem with a title to match, "The Power of Positive Drinking". Hell Yeah! There's no letdown with the next song "Freedom", rife with the essence of the Winter classic "Free Ride". Track five, "Rockin' the Blues" pairs Edgar with his equally legendary brother Johnny and the siblings show no rivalry, only harmony. Before we review the entire album, suffice to say this will definitely go down as one of the best albums in Edgar's history, a bold statement for a man with close to twenty releases. We'll give you a chance to weigh in with your opinion of the new songs as we unleash the new CD and bust out a frighteningly good version of "Frankenstein" he performed live on our show a few years ago. Mark your calendar, slap it into your Blackberry, or send yourself a reminder on your iPhone. This is gonna be a good one as Edgar Winter joins us on the next ROCKLINE! New Edgar Winter Album, Rebel Road FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Steve Levesque, Guy McCain Luck Media Marketing, Inc. (818) 760-8077 info@luckmedia.com or www.luckmedia.com EDGAR WINTER LEGENDARY ROCKER TAKES A FREE RIDE ALONG 'REBEL ROAD,' A FRESH AND FIERY BURST OF ROCK AND ROLL MAGIC FEATURING CAMEOS BY SLASH, CLINT BLACK AND HIS BROTHER JOHNNY WINTER * * * The Singer and Multi-Instrumentalist, Who Joined Ringo Starr And His All-Starr Band On The Road in 2006, Is Set To Tour Again With the The Ex-Beatle This Summer Still jamming as hard and heavy as ever over 35 years since his smashes "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride" captured an era in pop history and redefined the possibilities of fusing blues with rock, Edgar Winter (www.edgarwinter.com) continues to defy musical trends by traveling along the Rebel Road (set for release on July 8th by Airline Records via Sony Red distribution). A fresh, dynamic extension of the multi-talented singer, songwriter, keyboardist and saxophonist's classic musical vibe, the perfectly titled album-yes, he still calls his projects "albums" brings his four decade career full circle with the help of Slash, country superstar Clint Black (on vocals and harmonica) and Winter's equally legendary guitarist brother Johnny Winter. Beyond the all-star contributions, the 11-track collection marks a flourishing of the creative relationship between Winter and Curt Cuomo, who has worked extensively with classic rocker Eddie Money over the past ten years and whose credits include "Pyscho Circus" among numerous songs with Kiss. Cuomo, who first worked with Winter as co-writer of "You Are My Song" on 1999's Winter Blues, co-produced Rebel Road with Winter and is a co-writer on nine songs, along with guitarist, songwriter James Baker; he also contributes percussion, vocals and organ work. The first stops along Winter's infinitely winding, heavy grooving Rebel Road this year include dates this summer with Winter's longtime hero Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, This is Winter's second go-round with the former Beatle's summer tour extravaganza; he counts his first tour in 2006, "the thrill of a lifetime and a dream come true." The 28-date 2008 Ringo tour kicks off June 19-20 in Niagara Falls, Ontario and wraps August 2 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Later in August, Winter has dates booked with Johnny at the House of Blues in Dallas (they're natives of Beaumont, Texas) and another with fellow bluesman Kenny Wayne Shepherd. While the high-energy, Slash-sparked title track best captures the spirit of Rebel Road and is the probable first single, Winter is hoping that Ringo lets him complement his latest renditions of "Free Ride" and "Frankenstein" with performances of the album's more heartfelt cuts, the very Beatlesque mid tempo ballad "Peace And Love" (dedicated, of course, to the spirit and legacy of The Fab Four) and the romantic acoustic ballad "The Closer I Get," which Winter wrote for Monique, his beloved wife of 29 years. On the 2006 tour, he sang "Dying To Live," an early classic he wrote after he performed at Woodstock. Winter complements these gentler hopeful expressions with the country rock blues vibe of "The Power of Positive Drinkin'" (featuring Black on harmonica) and blistering blues-rock jams like "Eye On You,""Do It Again" and "Rockin' The Blues" with Johnny. "The idea was to make a classic American rock album similar to the kind I used to back in the 70s," he says. "I believe music is about following your heart as opposed to trends and second guessing what you think the public wants to hear. I wanted to put out an album that felt real to me, regardless of what's going on in today's music world. I think artists who play music that comes from the heart and that they believe in will communicate with people. What's missing in music today is not only real rock and roll, but the Southern style rock that Johnny and I grew up playing in Texas. Country music has come in to fill the vacuum of honesty and sincerity, and I wanted to contribute to this kind of musical integrity in my own way. "The kind of music I'm playing on Rebel Road has meant so much to me over the years," he adds, "and it was great working with so many talented musicians on bringing it to life. I think it will resonate with fans familiar with my early music and younger lovers of classic rock. There's something magical about the time this sound came from, when there was more musical freedom and songs reflected such powerful social changes as civil rights and the peace movement during the Vietnam era. There's a deep sense of humanity in classic rock that still resonates today." Ironically, "Rockin' The Blues" was the original working title of the project, which was fashioned as the third part of a rock-blues trilogy that began with Winter Blues and continued on Winter's 2004 date Jazzin' The Blues, which featured a mix of originals and jazzy arrangements of his classic hits. Then, the singer thought about the popularity he has among the biker community he's legendary for his performances at biker shows like the Buffalo Chip Sturgis Rally, on the Easy Rider tour and Jay Leno's Love Ride, one of the biggest biker related charity events in the world. He thought it might be cool to include some new songs with that kind of vibe. Talking with his longtime manager Jake Hooker (a former rocker who co-penned "I Love Rock and Roll"), Winter thought of "road rebel," and Hooker suggested he flip those words. The concept of Rebel Road was born and the title track, Winter says, just about wrote itself. "I relate this little story because people seem to be so interested in how songs come about, and it illustrates how the simple turn of phrase in a seemingly idle conversation can really get something rolling," he adds. "As for the concept behind the title, I think bikers and musicians have a good deal in common: a certain defiance and disregard for authority, the status quo, and the powers that be. To me, the idea of the open road is a symbol of freedom, and freedom is what music is all about. It's saying I'm not going to be told who I am, and what I'm supposed to believe. It's about living life on your own terms, and that's what rebel road means to me. I like it because it's not only a biker song, it's my song and my story as well." Fully embracing the liberating joys of independent music making, Winter is also proud of the way he explores his roots in country music. Though he could strum chords and sing country songs from the time he started playing music, it's an influence that he's never tapped into on his recordings till Rebel Road. He wrote a set of lyrics for what he thought would become a blues song entitled "On The Horns of A Dilemma," and Cuomo and guitarist/frequent co-writer James Zota Baker immediately felt it was a country rocker in the making. They laughed when Winter came up with the title of "The Power of Positive Drinkin'," but felt that one had Nashville style potential as well. While shying away from the idea of doing a full-on country album, Winter knew he wanted some country-blues style harp to enhance these two tracks. He had played sax on Black's song "Burn One Down" and immediately asked the famed singer to contribute his instrumental talents to Rebel Road. "He said yes and it was another one of those magical musical moments you dream about," says Winter. "Clint literally blew us all away. It means so much that he would take the time and come in and play on these songs between shows out of friendship and human kindness." From this point, a revved up Winter can see that Rebel Road stretching out for miles and many more exciting live shows to come, with Ringo, Johnny, Kenny and anyone else who cares to take another "Free Ride.""I love making music because it's the way in which I can express everything I've been through in my life, and is also a great emotional and physical release" he says. "Even after all these years, nothing tops the exhilaration of performing for a live audience. It's always very inspiring for me, and I am never going to quit because I need to be out there playing. So you'll never hear me saying anything about a farewell tour. I'm in this for life."

Produced by Rick Derringer with Ronnie Montrose on guitars and engineered by Bill Szymezyk who later produced Hotel California and other Eagle hits, They Only Come Out at Night didn’t gain immediate commercial success. Winter and the band thought the song “Free Ride” was the most commercially feasible tune and after a disappointing brief appearance on the charts the band started talking about their next project. Meanwhile, a grass roots phenomenon was spreading across the country. Underground college FM stations all across the US discovered a b-side tune called “Frankenstein”. Winter and his band mates basically had a great time jamming on “Frankenstein” but never considered the over 4 minute tune to be commercially viable. “Frankenstein” was soon one of the most frequently requested songs on mainstream AM stations and astonishingly climbed to #1 on the charts! The album reached the #3 position and the re-released “Free Ride” reached #14.

Says Winter, “I wrote the song ‘Dying To Live’ in the Woodstock era of the peace movement and civil rights. I was a new struggling artist at that time and uncertain of my direction. I thought of ‘Dying To Live’ more as an anti-war song at the time. I would have never connected it with gang violence; it was simply a song about survival. For me, it was a very personal song. Whether you are fighting for your country or just trying to make one more day on the streets, it’s something we all have had to face and can all understand. I just want to thank Eminem for hearing the pain, the joy and the humanity from “Dying To Live” and transforming it in a way that I never would have imagined.” “Runnin”(Dying To Live) is on numerous Billboard charts: #5 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles Sales chart, #18 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles chart and #9 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart.
