Put the bacon on the paper so’s the grease’ll run off

The first artist a lot of Detroiters ever remember making it. one that is, that we could relate to as a Detroit dude, a representative of what we were doing, was Mitch Ryder. Jenny Take A Ride may be part field holler, part shitkicker stomp, but the only place the medley could have come from was urban America; Detroit, blighted factory center of the universe.

Put the bacon on the paper so’s the grease’ll run off.

The first artist a lot of Detroiters ever remember making it. one that is, that we could relate to as a Detroit dude, a representative of what we were doing, was Mitch Ryder. Jenny Take A Ride may be part field holler, part shitkicker stomp, but the only place the medley could have come from was urban America; Detroit, blighted factory center of the universe. It was an honest synthesis, running through Good Golly Miss Molly jDevil With A. Blue Dress On, Shake A Tail feather and Sock It to Me. A unique copulation of the white man’s rock and roll and the black man’s rhythm and blues. A marriage between Buddy Holly and Little Richard.
