June idea Rock and Roll by Detroit and Mitch Ryder

[JohnHurley]

Ok its not blues. Its bold and riffy.

Griff before you were born probably this guy Mitch Ryder was ripping it up doing soul rock and bluesy things.

Many of us are headed to Kalamazoo its not Detroit but it is the same state.

One could argue that Lou Reed's recording on Rock 'N' Roll Animal is an even better version of the song. Interestingly, the guitar work (including intro to Sweet Jane) is by Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter - and that is the same Steve Hunter who plays the guitar on the Mitch Ryder version in the first post.

I will never say anything bad about anything Lou ever threw down. His 1989 album New York way under appreciated.

But Lou liked Detroits version a lot a freaking lot! Plus we will be in Michigan!!
