Taylor Hawkins died a few weeks ago, but his last track has already been published as part of a tribute album.
The Foo Fighters' first posthumous track from the late drummer and vocalist, "Guess I'll Go Away," has been released. It's a version of a Johnny Winter song, per Billboard.
It's also on Edgar Winter's latest album, "Brother Johnny."
Taylor, who also headed the band NHC, released the song on Friday, and it is the first from the renowned brother.
Taylor's involvement in the song is limited to lead vocals.
The song was published as part of Edgar's new album, which was also released today. The song's original version was released on Johnny Winter's fourth studio album, "Johnny Winter And," in 1970.
Edgar published a lengthy post to the late drummer on his website after his death, discussing their relationship.
He said, "I had the pleasure and privilege of collaborating with him as a guest artist on my upcoming but unreleased tribute album 'Brother Johnny.' He sang lead vocals on a song written by Johnny and featured Doug Rappoport, the fantastic guitarist in my own band."
Taylor Hawkins was apparently chosen because he had a more "energetic, current approach to the voice."
"I was blown away by his honesty, wonderful energy, and unbridled passion."
Taylor, according to Edgar, had a distinct, spontaneous approach that set him apart from the folks he had previously worked with.
He went on to say, "I have strong opinions, but when I heard what he was doing, I realized it was better to stand aside, keep out of the way, and let him do his thing. That session was an unforgettable experience for me."
Ringo Starr, Michael McDonald, Phil X, Bobby Rush, Robben Ford, Gregg Bissonette, Billy Gibbons, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and others pay homage to Johnny Winter on the 17-track, 76-minute "Brother Johnny" album.
