Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels !



You don’t know Mitch Ryder ?
Well, if you truly want to experience what a great kick-ass band The Detroit Wheels were in their prime and what a skunk-hot singer Mitch Ryder was in his young man days, this is the real deal ! High octane, turbo, high performance, super charged Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels didn't need to hail from the Motor City for those adjectives to be tossed their way, but it was certainly appropriate that they called Motown home. It was Mitch and The Wheels who served as the musical bridge between the Motown soul factory and the high energy, take no prisoners rock 'n' roll that would roar out of Detroit via Iggy & The Stooges, and MC5 !
Ok follow me, step 1, and step 2, and repeat.

I remember when my older brother first played me this band when they first hit the scene, they actually felt a little threatening then, and I mean that as a compliment. Thanks for the less-than-obvious choices!

Fantastic! One of the most sadly overlooked, but highly influential bands in the history of rock 'n roll.

Tu voudrais pas écrire en français, mon révérend. J'imagine qu'en écrivant en shakespearien, on te lit jusqu'aux Antipodes. Mais le racinien, c'est pas mal non plus ! Et pourquoi pas un blog bilingue ? Tout le monde, y serait content…

Today's sermon is "Play Mitch Ryder Loud". And watch Godzillas.

(@fernet-branca : la question s'est posée une centaine de fois mais pour l'instant 'je stick to le anglais')
raisons personnelles...
En tout cas, amitiés provençales-irlandaises-espagnoles-allemandes mon très cher!

I hate the smogmonster. How did they ever defeat that, anyway? Mass transit and better mufflers? (It must have been a miniseries.)

Mitch Ryder et al. make me wish I had an organ and a group of people to provide handclaps.

I love these guys. A great Mitch Ryder tune from a year or two later is "I'd Rather Go To Jail".

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/
