~~ Fantastic album by the gritty HARD rockers known as Detroit, who formed out of the ashes of the DETROIT WHEELS ...Detroit are led by ex Detroit Wheel howling vocalist Mitch Ryder ... but the equal hero is dynamic guitarist Steve Hunter who went on to fame with name superstar bands in the '70s.... DETROIT opens with the roar of Long Neck Goose and singer Mitch Ryder returns to Detroit with the band named after his city. Detroit the group rocks with gritty R&B while Mitch howls with the best of them on this, their lone record released in 1971. Includes the classic underground hit version of Lou Reed's Rock n Roll, plus Is It You (Or Is It Me), Gimme Shelter and the slow blues of Drink. The group also featured guitarist Steve Hunter and was produced by Bob Ezrin   David Carson's "Grit, Noise, and Revolution" more or less tells the story of this band and the bad luck that befell it. In the summer of 1970, they just couldn't catch a break. The few who came to see them were treated to some serious take-no-prisoners music: Imagine Little Richard fronting Led Zeppelin, only instead of Jimmy Page you get the virtuousic Steve "Deacon" Hunter. And instead of English boys pretending to be outlaws, a band of actual bikers - and they did put out a menacing vibe live in concert.

"Long Neck Goose" and "Rock & Roll" are tracks you need to listen to, and they're worth every penny. Mitch Ryder never had a band this good again.   Detroit was a latter-day incarnation of Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels; formed in 1970 after the singer returned to the Motor City following a stint in Memphis recording with Booker T. and the MGs, the new group reunited Ryder with his former Detroit Wheels drummer John Badanjek, and also featured dual guitarists Steve Hunter and Brett Tuggle, bassist W.R. Cooke and organist Harry Phillips. An energetic, R&B-influenced outfit firmly in the tradition of Ryder's past hard edged projects, Detroit issued their lone self-titled LP on Paramount in 1971, scoring a major radio hit with a gritty rendition of "Rock and Roll" which so pleased its writer (lou Reed) that he later recruited guitarist Hunter to join his own backing band. As throat problems began plaguing Ryder more and more, he was forced to quit singing in 1972, and his relocation to the Denver area a year later dashed any hopes of a second Detroit album; Fellow Amboy Dukes & Cactus mega front man singer Rusty Day then assumed control of the group, guiding the unit until its 1974 break-up.
