Motor City Is Burning: A Michigan Anthology 1965-1972 [Import] (3 Cd's) (CD)

Description Three CD anthology of the vibrant, wildly eclectic Michigan music scene in the late 60s / early 70s. Key Motor City tracks stretching from the Motown and Invictus labels to The Stooges, Alice Cooper, MC5 and many others. The most populous city in the state of Michigan, Detroit exuded a rock 'n' roll mentality like no other American town. Famously home to Tamla Motown, the Motor City also hosted a plethora of artless teen garage bands, blue-collar heartland rockers Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, proto- punks The Stooges and MC5, the P-Funk psychedelic soul crew and hard rock heavyweights like Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad and Frijid Pink. Named after the John Lee Hooker/MC5 song that referenced the heavily-reported Detroit civil unrest of July 1967, 'Motor City Is Burning' is a four-hour, 3CD primer of the Michigan music scene during it's late 60s/early 70s heyday. It features all of the aforementioned acts as well as such names as Tommy James & The Shondells, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Freda Payne, Chairmen Of The Board and Rodriguez. A 48-page booklet with rare photos and the story behind each track chronicles Michigan's leading venues, principal recording studios, local labels and key backroom players as well as the bands themselves.
