Together (Johnny and Edgar Winter album)

Together is a live album by brothers Johnny Winter (guitar, vocals) and Edgar Winter (saxophone, vocals). It is composed entirely of rock and roll and soul standards. It was recorded at the Swing Auditorium and the San Diego Sports Arena, and released in 1976.

The musicians on the album include the members of the Edgar Winter Group (Edgar on saxophone, Rick Derringer on guitar, Dan Hartman on piano, and Chuck Ruff on drums) as well as the members of Johnny Winter's band (Johnny and Floyd Radford on guitar, Randy Jo Hobbs on bass, and Richard Hughes on drums).

On AllMusic, Michael B. Smith said, "Individually, Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny Winter are powerful artists, but combined, they are virtually unstoppable.... From start to finish, Edgar and Johnny are having a rockin' and rollin' good time, and that happiness channels over to the listener."^[1]

Goldmine magazine called "Rock & Roll Medley" one of the five must-hear tracks from Edgar Winter, saying "The Winter brothers engage in some soulful harmony lead vocals, and of course Johnny tears out a sizzling guitar solo."^[2]
