I remember as a teenager looking at the back of the album Edgar Winter's Shock Treatment and seeing the band trying for the androgynous look. Yikes! But to me, as a teenager, Rick looked like a girl to me. Great album.
A Derringer alum Neil Geraldo.
Saw these guys 4 times before they broke up, first was in my home town and they backed up Aerosmith and made them look unprofessional as they were. Danny Johnson is a great player with killer tone ,phrasing ,and note selection , listen to Drivin sideways and Sailor. Then saw them with Boston twice, and finally at Soldier Field in Chicago Rick said "I want them to hear us in Indiana" when he came outRick Derringer was and is an incredible guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer.
I met him a couple times. He is a little guy but jeez his live album in the 70's.
His band Derringer was the first band i ever saw perform live. He opened for
Aerosmith at Madison Square Garden. WOW
Edgar Winter‘s Roadwork Album is one of my all time favoutires!
Gruhn offers some of Rick‘s guitars for quite a time...
Slide on "Showbiz Kids" is, I think, all he played on. He's certainly not underrated by me. The band "Derringer" that he had in the late '70's-80's was one of the best live acts of the time. I'm talking about the lineup w/ Danny Johnson, Kenny Aaronson and Myron Grombacher. Incredible band.
