In this one disc, we have an opportunity to listen to music that helped shape the sound of AM radio in the mid 60's, and which would go on to influence a generation or two (at least) of other artists like: The Stooges, MC5, Bob Seger and, of course, Bruce Springsteen. Since he doesn't get anywhere near the airplay he deserves, it's easy to forget what a tremendous rock 'n roller Mitch Ryder was. This CD, with a great mix of high profile hits and lesser known tracks will give the first time listener a good idea of what Mitch was doing back in the day and why he was so popular. For a graybeard like me, it's like a time machine back to 1966. Perhaps the most raucous White soul band of the 60s, Ryder and the Detroit Wheels scored a series of hits, 1966 to 1968, by souping up rock and R&B ravers to fever pitch. This is hard party music.
