Ryder, Mitch and the Detroit Wheels – Take a Ride [GOLD VINYL] – New LP

1966 debut album.   Cub Koda (Brownsville Station): The debut album of Ryder and the Wheels, fresh from the teenage ballroom circuit in Detroit, where they held court in earlier days as Billy Lee & the Rivieras. One of the defining moments in the history of Motor City music, Take a Ride is the sound of poor White kids claiming the music as theirs, too, while infusing it with the manic energy of the color-blind dreams of anybody who ever wanted to be somebody. Built entirely around their stage act, this album captures a band in full cry at the peak of their powers. This is what they mean when they say the words "high-energy Motor City rock & roll."   A1 Shake A Tail Feather 2:28 A2 Come See About Me 3:00 A3 Let Your Lovelight Shine 3:36 A4 Just A Little Bit 2:40 A5 I Hope 3:00 A6 Jenny Take A Ride 3:25 B1 Please, Please, Please 3:34 B2 I'll Go Crazy 2:08 B3 I Got You 2:33 B4 Sticks And Stones 3:07 B5 Bring It On Home To Me 3:33 B6 Baby J
