Rock 'N Roll Hoochie Koo - Edgar Winter and White Trash

[55tallon]

love this song !!!!!!

[chilitoday]

Sorry Rick, it was all Johnny's after this take.

[chilitoday]

THIS is how ya play the ax. fuckin fat slinky tone and perfect vibrato. 10 out of 10

[chilitoday]

Johnny on lead vocal, lead guitar. One of the all time best R&R solos.

yeah Rick wrote it but here it's all JW and his Firebird.

[Staggerbaroque]

Joeyfulco speaks the truth. This version is far superior to Derringer's slick FM version. And you NEVER HEAR IT.

[SurfersGlory]

I would have shat bricks if i aws in that crowd when his brother was announced. Do you agree?

[georgesorosisgay1]

My band had the honor of backing Rick derringer and mountain (lesley west) up in Brockton, Ma remova park 1991 smoked a joint with him and his band back stage

[robbiedaug]

@georgesorosisgay1 I don't know if Rick would smoke a joint these days. Rick, like Mark Farner, became born again Christians. They're high on Jesus now.

I saw Edgar on March 8th, 1984 (my 24th b-day) in a small bar in Nordeast Minneapolis called The Union. He was so wasted that when the session was over it took two roadies to lead him outta the bar. I fired up a number when he did "Tobacco Road"... Good times back in the day.

Hey Ed, howdy from deep east Tx. the Golden Triangle says hey bro!

[DaveScarcella]

I wish this was captured on film.

This is a great version of this song.....thanks for posting.

White Trash were opening for Alice Cooper in Ottawa...Alice got snowed in at the airport in Toronto and could'nt make it....Edgar Winter And The White Trash played and extra 1 1/2 hours....it was orgasmic.

Alice showed up and played the next night.

Seen Johnny 4 times....the greatest guitar player that ever lived.

[DavePaulsen1]

this is a good song sounds just like edgar winter to me -- maybe it is is clone !

[DOConROCK1]

I had this LP-----LOVe Johnny & Edgar

Saw them TOGETHER in 76, Las Vegas Convention Center-Rotunda.....GREATNES!!!

RIP---Randy Hobbs~

[JohnnyHorton]

sounds like johnny winter singing to me.

[Dogheadj]

@JohnnyHorton : Likewise. I've met both Johnny and Edgar, and this most definitely sounds like Johnny. Been listening to Johnny since I was 16 (I'm 55 now), and there's no mistaking that voice.

[horsluva0758]

@Dogheadj Me too! I totally agree. A JW fan all the way, and EW too!!!!! love them!!!! 

[overlook77]

I think I would sell one of my kids to get a guitar tone like that...

[bigrussthefusss]

@barrydawoodsman man aint it funny how such a strange story can be so similiar to someone elses. My dad brought this home, i only listened to that same side, and there was plenty of shitty grass back then! We listened to this all the time, that and Still alive and well. Looooove that album!

[lujka1000]

sto rokate...

[zped99]

I got this album in 8th grade, 1972. Wore it out. Wear out the CD now. The version of this song on this album is THE definitive version. I was so bummed when Derringer's single came out. Kept telling my friends "No, listen to this! Screw the answer vocals, listen to the twin lead answering back!"

[horsluva0758]

@zped99 Heck yeah!!!!!! =)

[bensooty1]

this is 1 mean track from the winter bros.... GR8

[bentpolski]

Randy Joe Hobbs on Bass?

[joethepainter90]

Yah!Somebody said keep on rockin!!!!!

[walkerwarbler]

I met the White Trash band (and I was a BIG fan at the time) In Detroit metro airport. Edgar, Jerry, Rick etc... They were very nice but I didn't know what to say, so I simply thanked them for their awesome work and went on my way. Looking back, I think is was the right thing to do - they seemed to appreciate me not trying to climb all over their face with idiot fan drivel

[ANIGGERHOOD]

so much better than the radio version!

[Howlandgirls]

Johnny Winter rocks! The hottest guitar lick ever ! I wish I could have been there to see him do this one! Thanks for putting this on the internet! Jadeblue

[Joeyfulco]

Hi,

I feel this is the most musical version of RRHC ever! Everything really works well together! The bass part really grows from the edge to the end. Edgar and his Univox piano are hammering and stabbing. The horns and guitar work are insane with fat harmonies and thrust. Even the guitar solo has major melody. Just a great musical journey from the intro to outro'.... BRAVO!!!

[Films4You]

This saved me getting my copy of this out.

I think this is the best Rock 'N Roll Hoochie Koo

[thaatsq]
