Taylor Hawkins’ first posthumous release – a cover of Johnny Winter’s 1970 track ‘Guess I’ll Go Away’, which the late Foo Fighters drummer recorded with Johnny’s brother, Edgar Winter – has been revealed.It comes as part of a new tribute album, ‘Brother Johnny’, that Edgar released yesterday (April 15) in his sibling’s memory; the Texan blues-rocker died in 2014 at the age of 70. Hawkins sings the lead on his and Edgar’s cover of ‘Guess I’ll Go Away’, retaining the swampy hard-rock bite of the original, but modernising it with tighter and more crisp production, contrasting lead guitars and layered vocals, and a heavier focus on the brash and thrashy drumming. Edgar plays organ on the track, while guitar duties were handled by Doug Rappoport.Have a listen to Hawkins and Edgar Winter’s cover of ‘Guess I’ll Go Away’ below:In a statement shared on his website, Edgar explained that he “wanted a younger, more energetic, modern approach to the vocal” on the ‘Brother Johnny’ redux of ‘Guess I’ll Go Away’.
