Edgar Winter has released a star-studded, 17-song tribute to his brother and bandmate, guitarist Johnny Winter. The album features two new original tracks and guest appearances by Ringo Starr, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Billy Gibbons, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Walsh, and the late Taylor Hawkins, among others.

Famous for their musical prowess and distinctive fair-haired look, Edgar and Johnny Winter attained notoriety in the early ’70s with songs like “Free Ride” and the rocking instrumental “Frankenstein”. The new tribute album from Edgar Winter is an emotional homage to his brother Johnny, who passed away in 2014. The album’s 17 guitar-driven tracks celebrate Johnny’s evolution as an artist, with a broad range of originals and covers including the Rolling Stones‘ “Jumping’ Jack Flash” with Phil X on vocals, Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” with Joe Walsh and David Grissom, and Muddy Waters‘s “Got My Mojo Workin” with Bobby Rush on vocals.
