{"product_id":"take-a-ride-1","title":"Take a Ride","description":"Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels: Mitch Ryder (vocals), Jimmy McCarty, Joe Kubert (guitars), Earl Elliot (bass), John Badenjek (drums).\u003cbr\u003eReissue producer: Bob Irwin.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released on New Voice (2000), except for \"Joy,\" which was a single and is included here as a CD bonus track.\u003cbr\u003eIncludes liner notes by Howard Cook.\u003cbr\u003eMitch Ryder And the Detroit Wheels made their mark in the mid-'60s by combining the unique interpretive skills of Johnny Rivers with the amphetamine-fueled blue-eyed soul of the Young Rascals and the Spencer Davis Group. Discovered by producer Bob Crewe in 1965 while opening for the Dave Clark Five, the then-Rivieras switched their name to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels to avoid confusion with a New York group of the same name.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1966 debut, TAKE A RIDE, finds Crewe playing to the band's R\u0026amp;B roots by digging up numerous soul songs for them to cover. Guitarists Jimmy McCarty and Joe Kubert provide six-string firepower, while the rhythm tandem of John Badenjek and Earl Elliot is rock-solid. James and Bobby Purify's chugging \"Shake a Tail Feather,\" Little Milton's fiery shuffle \"Just a Little Bit,\" and James Brown's snappy \"I'll Go Crazy\" are seismic slivers of soul. Ryder's raspy croon gives the band its identity, particularly on the hit title cut, a medley of Chuck Willis's \"C.C. Rider\" and Little Richard's \"Jenny, Jenny\" that packs an H-bomb-powered punch.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45045704949925,"sku":"090771508614","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/6c4e7eef304de56c44a004a61bd01ff4_3a1e7e32-184a-4cb7-bbb3-3787115087f8.jpg?v=1780928672","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-gb\/products\/take-a-ride-1","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
