Mink Rat or Rabbit

Product Description
The Detroit Cobras manage a pretty rare feat with their debut LP by transcending classic R&B material by sticking not to the original sound or slavishly recreating arrangements and stylistic trappings of the genre, but by finding the essence of the rough-and-tumble spirit of the original streetwise tunes the Cobras tackle on Mink Rat. Symphony For The Record Industry. 1998.

WHAT ROCK AND ROLL SHOULD BE.......2007-07-24

I ALWAYS LOVE TO FIND A REAL ROCK AND ROLL BAND, THAT IS NOT PRETENTIOUS, PLAYS GREAT ROCK, AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU HEAR THEIR MUSIC. THIS CD FROM THE DETROIT COBRAS IS ALL OF THAT. RACHEL NAGY, THE LEAD SINGER, RACHEL NAGY, HAS LIMITED RANGE (SHE SOUNDS A LOT LIKE CHRISSIE HYNDE FROM THE PRETENDERS), BUT SHE CAN CARRY A TUNE AND THE MUSIC BEHIND HER FLOWS NICELY, THE BAND IS PRETTY TIGHT. IN FACT, AT TIMES YOU WILL THINK THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO A PRETENDERS CD (WHICH IS MORE THAN OKAY). THE SONGS "HITTIN' ON NOTHING", AND "BREAKAWAY" ARE NOTE FOR NOTE REPLICAS OF THE ORIGINALS BY IRMA THOMAS (WHICH IS ALSO MORE THAN OKAY). BUT THE WHOLE PRODUCTION HAS A GREAT RECORDING QUALITY, WHICH IS SURPRISING, BECAUSE EVERY OTHER CD I HAVE FROM THIS LABEL (IT IS CALLED "SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY") HAS PRETTY BAD SOUND QUALITY (DEVIL DOGS CDS AND OBLIVIANS). BUT A TOTALLY ENJOYABLE CD. YOU WILL LIKE IT AND IT WILL GET YOU MOVIN'.

This group, although not widely known, plays some of the best blues based rock going on anywhere. This is the better of all their albums thus far and is highly recommended. It stayed in my active play rotation for quite some time.

If you are into the Kustom Kulture then this garage band is a must for your next party! No gear head should be with out it!

A desert island disc if there ever was one.......2007-02-19

The Detroit Cobras are the garage band of your dreams. Lock up your young and most impressionable little rock 'n' roll fans, and play this for 'em at full volume. They'll be screaming for more. Book-ended by the booty-shakin' opening of "Cha Cha Twist" and the most rollicking, unrelenting cover of Jackie DeShannon and Irma Thomas' "Breakaway" that you'll ever hear, there's nary a lull and by the time "Midnight Blues" rolls around, all will be right in the world and you'll be loving life again. The grinding, roughhouse guitar is totally primal - imagine the love child of Keith Richards and Link Wray - and Rachel Nagy's smoky snarl will make you think very unangelic thoughts. An American classic, already.

I have over 1000 CDs. If I could only keep 10 of them, this would be number 2 on the keeper list!
