    Heard another reviewer mention that the mid 70's was a great and distinct era of rock because of the emergence of funk and motown. A lot of rock songs in this era had a really funky or jazzy groove to them. And astute observation. I can 100% see that. This is a classic and you didn't mention there was "cowbell" usage towards the end....

    Haven't listened to this album in years but it was well worth the wait as it is a really good song.😃
    We All Had A Real Good Time from the same album is great too.
    His live version of Tobacco Road from 1972 with his blues legend brother Johnny on guitar is well worth checking out.
    He plays on All Revved Up With No Place to Go from the Bat Out Of Hell album - what could be better than Meatloaf AND Edgar Winter?🤘🎷

    no one will mention the writer of this song so allow me. The late great Dan Hartman. I saw this band tour the year this album came out The most high energy show I think I ever saw. Edgar is touring this year with Ringo Starr Allstar Band. Yeah thats 50 years after Free Ride!t

    This song blew everything on the poll away. (43%) Well, It's really Poooooooll Friday Larry, lol.
    The "free ride" can be literally interpreted as a road trip, but it's really about a spiritual journey. The song was written and sung by Dan Hartman, who had recently joined the Edgar Winter Group, but Winter added the lyrics:
    We got to do better, it's time to begin, You know all the answers must come from within
    The song offers salvation of sorts, with Hartman offering us direction when we don't know where to turn:
    So I've come here to give you a hand, And lead you into the promised land
    The song isn't an endorsement of a specific religion, but a call to look inside ourselves for answers. Winter was trying to make that message more clear in the lyrics he added.

    Edgar was influenced by his older brother Johnny , a lot of blues jazz funk rock fusion , late sixties. the brothers were born w/albinism and when both on stage it was "Stage Fright" They Only Come Out At Night is a reference to his more than fair skin.

      You're welcome @@im-already-tired-tomorrow! You know your stuff. Early 70s music is sort a blind spot for me. I know the bands and songs but I didn't really get into music until I was a teenager, about 1980/81.

    Edgar Winter definitely is unique, and good pickup on his jazzy side. You asked for other Edgar Winter songs. You've heard Frankenstein but you haven't EXPERIENCED Frankenstein until you see them do it live at ua-cam.com/video/P8f-Qb-bwlU/v-deo.html. It's unbelievable; Edgar has always said that Frankenstein is a visual song. Free Ride's lead singer was the bassist, Dan Hartman. To hear Edgar's amazing voice, you can try Dying to Live from the White Trash album and...to be really blown away by his vocals...Tobacco Road live with his brother Johnny at ua-cam.com/video/af0rV6dli_o/v-deo.html. Johnny is a Blues Hall of Fame guitarist. I also love the sax solo and Edgar's vocals on Easy Street from the Shock Treatment album. For pure, unadulterated fun, give a listen to Do Like Me from Shock Treatment and Jive Jive Jive from White Trash's live Roadwork album. (I believe Jerry LaCroix sings lead on that one, and he and Edgar co-wrote it.) The list is endless, actually. Edgar once said he does not believe in musical segregation. He does blues, funk, jazz, rock, ballads, gospel, country, prog...you name it. Final note: at age 76, he won this year's Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album, which was a tribute to his late brother.

    Edgar Winter is not a name I know at all and he only had one hit in the UK - Frankenstein at #18, #1 in US and Canada, released just before Free Ride in 1973, so that seems to have been his peak popularity. Seems to be best known in the US/Canada, with a few sales in Australia, Germany and Mexico. Can't say I understand how it won the poll, but considering the opposition it faced, maybe it got a bit of a free ride?
