Derringer later worked with both Johnny and Edgar Winter and has also played on albums by Alice Cooper, Steely Dan and Todd Rundgren. Derringer made several solo albums starting with "All American Boy" in 1974. It's garish pin up style cover created a big impact and the music proved equally attractive. 12 tracks in all on the album, including the instrumentals "Joy Ride" and "Time Warp", both of which display all the different facets of Derringer's exuberant musical expertise.
