20 Rock Albums Rolling Stone Loved in the 1970s That You Never Heard Read more: www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/20-rock-albums-rolling-stone-loved-in-the-1970s-that-you-never-heard-20150611#ixzz3cmrNjI4XDetroit, Detroit - Mitch Ryder Mitch Ryder was only a few years past his Sixties hit singles with the Detroit Wheels, but that was enough time for his career to crash on the rocks and for him to head an ill-advised Vegas-style soul revue. This album was the comeback from his self-inflicted wounds: the forceful debut of a new rock band that showcased Ryder as "one of the primal blue-eyed shouters of our time." The LP was produced by a young Bob Ezrin, who would go on to work with Kiss and Pink Floyd; Ryder's reputation would be sustained over the following decades by Bruce Springsteen's frequent live rendition of his hits in the "Detroit Medley." What We Said Then: "The drumming, without exception, is extremely forceful, and the bass playing — especially on Ray Davies' 'It Ain't Easy,' here captured in what must surely be its definitive version — is nothing short of incredible. . .as you might expect, the louder it gets the better it gets. But I think the thing I like most about Detroit, which would make them something a little special even if their album limped along like a stray dog, is the kind of moral commitment they bring to their music." — Lenny Kaye, RS 97 (December 9th, 1971) Read more: www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/20-rock-albums-rolling-stone-loved-in-the-1970s-that-you-never-heard-20150611#ixzz3cmqhq6DrFollow us: @rollingstone on Twitter | RollingStone on Facebook
