Detroit Rock City is an oral history of Detroit and its music told by the people who were on the stage; in the clubs; the practice rooms; studios; and in the audience; blasting the music out and soaking it up; in every scene from 1967 to today.From fabled axe men like Ted Nugent; Dick Wagner; and James Williamson jump to Jack White; to pop flashes Suzi Quatro and Andrew W.K.; to proto punkers Brother Wayne Kramer and Iggy Pop; Detroit slices the rest of the land with way more than its share of the Rock Pie.Detroit Rock City is the story that has never before been sprung; a frenzied and schooled account of both past and present; calling in the halcyon days of the Grande Ballroom and the Eastown Theater; where national acts who came thru were made to stand and deliver in the face of the always hard hitting local support acts. It moves on to the Michigan Palace; Bookies Club 870; City Club; Gold Dollar; and Magic Stick ndash; all magical venues in Americas top rock city.Detroit Rock City brings these worlds to life all from the guys and dolls who picked up a Strat and jammed it into our collective craniums. From those behind the scenes cats who promoted; cajoled; lost their shirts; and popped the platters to the punters who drove from everywhere; this is the book that gives life to Detroits legend of loud.

EchterlingWhile it doesnt have all the songs from the out of print two volume collection; it has ones that were not included. It is still a must have for any aspiring guitarist wanting to play in the Chicago style - especially in the more urban direction the likes of Otis Rush and Magic Sam were taking the blues in the early 60s.Song List:Are You Losing Your Mind?Blues At My Babys HouseBuddys Blues (Buddys Boogie)Damn Right; Ive Got The BluesFirst Time I Met The BluesFive Long YearsI Smell A RatJust Playing My AxeLeave My Girl AloneLet Me Love You BabyA Man And The BluesMan Of Many WordsMary Had A Little LambMidnight TrainMy Time After Awhile$100 BillRememberin StevieShe Suits Me To A TeeShes Out There SomewhereStone Crazy
