==Links to Peel==
On his Singles Reviews article of 4th August 1973, Peel mentioned seeing the Edgar Winter Band perform at White City and described their performance as a 'mindless display of over worked cliches and relentless geeble gimmickry'. He also described them in the same article as the 'Bruce Forsyth of rock'. Nonetheless he thought their track, 'Free Ride' was a fine record in the article. Follow up singles, 'Hangin' Around' and 'Someone Take My Heart Away' were also described as fine records when reviewing them for Singles Reviews. However, Peel never revisited the group after the 70's, according to available tracklistings on this site.
