DODGE MAIN - WAYNE KRAMER , DENIZ TEK , SCOTT MORGAN (1996)

Even if most of the songs were written almost 30 years ago,this album is like a kick in the stomach!It recalls the heroic days of the late sixties - early seventies when Motor City was burning.It's like a tribute to Detroit's rock music history made by a group of friends,living legends of this scene!Wayne Kramer from MC5,Scott Morgan from Rationals & Sonic Rendezvous Band , Deniz Tek from Radio Birdman(the man who brought Detroit rock to Australia as a lot of music reviewers say) along with Paul Ill (bass) and Brock Avery (drums) made it, and it sounds as powerful as ever!"City Slang" , the opening track (originally a Sonic Rendezvous Band single release) is been covered with a Radio Birdman attitude and "The Harder They Come" (a Jimmy Cliffs reggae classic)is given a high energetic Detroit rock touch , as to all the songs of the album!Along with the other covers (L.94 -Radio Birdman , I Got A Right - Stooges)this album offers Kramer's "Citizen Of Time" ,Tek's "100 Fools" and a song they made together called "Better Than That".The blasting guitars and the tight "rocking" rhythm section of this album are giving a lesson on "how pure and original rock music should be played"!The album is dedicated in memory of Rob Tyner (MC5) , Fred "Sonic" Smith (MC5) and Dave Alexander (Stooges), musicians of Detroit.This is a de-noised vinyl rip .
