The small advertising sticker that came attached to the cover Edgar Winter's brand
new and long awaited CD, "Rebel Road" states in bold letters that "Rock n' roll is
back!" Well, I'm here to bear witness that there is absolutely no false
advertising there! In fact, that simple statement could very well be the
understatement of the year. It could just as easily be said that Edgar Winter's
new CD "Rebel Road" could very well be one of the best rock albums of the year; as
this CD is nothing less than an absolute smoker! But of course, that would next
to impossible to fit all of that info on that one in a half by one in a half inch
enticement sticker; let alone mention all the details of everything this
outstanding CD has to offer, such as all of the numerous celebrated and world
renowned artists that contributed extremely high caliber performances on this CD,
and other very noteworthy details well worth writing about. So of course, we at
Mindsweep Entertainment & Promotions will be glad to fill fans in and tell you all
about it.

For millions of fans of legendary performer Edgar Winter that have been thoroughly
well rocked by Edgar's music for well over three decades and for 20 or so albums
since the beginning of his career, it is hard to even fathom how Edgar Winter has
indeed managed to outdo even himself on his recently released new CD, "Rebel
Road". Many of those who have heard this new CD would go as far to say that his
latest CD, (released on Airline Records), is perhaps is his greatest release yet.
It certainly has all the elements and excellence in musicianship and songwriting
that fans have come to expect from this great artist. ...And then some!

From the first notes, to the very ending notes on this dynamic CD, Edgar delivers
to fans a musical hard driving thrill ride down Rebel Road, in a fast moving
classic, super-modified for racing, with great handling in all the twists and
turns, by exhibiting Edgar's immense hot rodding prowess as a master musician on a
number of instruments ranging from synthesizer, piano, organ and saxophone.
Edgar's vocals are better than ever, with Edgar running the full gauntlet of his
extreme vocal capabilities ranging from belting out at his best, with a voice even
bigger than his native state of Texas, on tracks such as "Rebel Road", "Eye on
You", "The Power of Positive Drinking", "Rockin' the Blues", "I'd Do it Again",
"Texas Tornado", "On The Horns of a Dilemma" and "Oh No No"; as well as exercises
the smoother side of his extreme vocal prowess while cruising listeners through
songs "Freedom", "The Closer I Get" and "Peace and Love".

No doubt, Edgar Winter has definitely brought great rock n' roll back on this CD.
...REAL rock n' roll', the kind that will take you back to that place and time in
music history when rock n' roll was at it's best; (which of course, Edgar Winter
certainly took his place in that history and left his mark), yet his new CD is
capable of setting the new standard in today's rock n' roll, and is a safe bet
that this CD is destined to become one of tomorrow's great rock classics. (Which
is nothing new for Edgar Winter). Further keeping true with Edgar Winter
tradition, he drives this tricked out rock n' roll ride well past the limits of
just one genre, taking new listeners and long time fans alike cruisin' on an
adventure through the blues, as well as into territories of honky tonk, country
and even funk.

What is more, Edgar Winter enlists the musical expertise of some of the finest
musicians in the industry, making "Rebel Road" all the more exceptional. Edgar's
own band consisting of Doug Rappoport (Guitars), and Koko Powell (Bass), and
others, are indeed heavy hitting performers, more than capable of pulling off a
great CD; but yet another thing that Edgar Winter is world renown for, is a
history of featuring phenomenal guest performers on his albums.

That same one and a half inch by one and a half inch enticement sticker, (remember
the sticker?), reads
"Featuring guest appearances by Slash, Clint Black and Johnny Winter"; and indeed
their performances on this CD were nothing short of stellar, as their individual
signature sounds made a great contribution to this CD. What could not have been fit
on that small sticker is the names of a multitude of other renowned, world class
guest performers as:
James "Zota" Baker, (War), contributing either on acoustic and electric guitars as
well as bass and backing vocals throughout this CD, as well as delivering some very
notably mean slide guitar work on tracks "Power of Positive Drinking" and "Peace and
Love"...
Curt Cuomo, (Kiss, Eddie Money)...
Gary Novak, (Michael McDonald, Natalie Cole, David Sanborn, Anita Baker, George
Benson, Chick Corea, Alanis Morissette), can be heard throwing down some of his
signature (and lead footed) finesse on drums on tracks "Eye on You", "Freedom" and
"I'd Do It Again"...
With the likes of BOTH Mark "The Bass Cowboy" Meadows, (Johnny "Guitar" Watson,
Queen Latifa, Bonnie Raitt, Meredith Brooks, Rick Derringer, Lisa Loeb, Dweezil
Zappa), AND Matt Bissonette, (Ringo Starr, Joe Satriani, Don Henley, Boz Skaggs,
Gino Vanelli, Julian Lennon, Steve Perry, Peter Frampton), performing on bass on
this CD, you KNOW beyond a doubt that there is no lack of bottom end on Edgar
Winter's latest CD "Rebel Road".
The list of guest performers contributing their expertise on this CD also goes on
further to include such great performers as: Abe Laboriel, (Paul McCartney, Steve
Vai, B.B. King, Les Paul, LeAnn Rimes, Sting, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, Shakira,
Jewel, Meredith Brooks, Ringo Starr, Melissa Etheridge)...
Dean Parks, (Steely Dan, Clay Aiken, Chet Adkins, Hoyt Axton, Anita Baker, George
Benson, Clint Black, Toni Braxton, Jackson Browne, Joe Cocker, Crosby, Stills, Nash
& Young, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Lowell George, Vince Gill, B.B. King, Lyle
Lovett, Stevie Nicks)...
Dave Carpenter, (Buddy Rich, Herbie Hancock, Al Jarreau, David Sanborn, Celine Dion,
Jackson Browne, Bernie Taupin, Ringo Starr, Michael McDonald)...
Cameron Stone, (Clay Aiken, Avenged Sevenfold, Travis Tritt, Melissa Etheridge,
Tracy Chapman,
Jewel, Herbie Hancock, Percy Sledge)...
Erik Ron...
Jimmy Paxson, (Alanis Morissette, Rod Stewart, Robben Ford, Ronnie Montrose)...
Pete Maloney, (Dishwalla, Rita Cooledge, Tonic, Bette Midler)...
Ross Hogarth, (Doobie Brothers, Ziggy Marley, Jonas Brothers, Jimmy Eat World,
Lifehouse)...
And Matt Laug (Alanis Morissette, Slash, Christine Aguilera, Meredith Brooks, Cher,
Eddie Money, Alice Cooper, Lifehouse, Pat Benatar, Donna Summer).
The caliber of names listed in the credits alone on Edgar Winter's sizzling new CD
"Rebel Road" lends further credence to the statement that rock n' roll is indeed
back! ...And who better to bring it?!

As if all the outstanding music and celebrated featured guests weren't enough to
make Edgar Winter's new CD one of the best rock CDs of this year, Edgar Winter
gives even more entertainment to his fans by adding a seven page insert of up
close and personally written insight into the man, (as well as the musician), and
provides some great stories which make for some excellent reading. But of course,
I'm not going to spoil that for you, and you'll just have to purchase the CD to
get all the info there.
