3 out of 5 stars The Rockets Rule.......2006-10-15

This is an import CD re-issue of the Detroit band The Rockets debut LP.
It is a strong first outing for the group.
This is not the early carnation of the crazy horse band, this is an entirely different group.
A group who hailed from the motor city and never quite pushed through to national fame.
They did however release 5 studio LP's and 1 live recording between 77 and 83 before calling it quiits.
Of the previously mentioned LP's only 4 of the 6 have been issued on CD.
Several of their songs made the charts, many of those being on the 2 LP's that have never been issued on CD.
"Rockets" and "No Ballads"

They formed in the early 70's by Jimmy mcCarty and Johnny "The Bee" Badanjek, both former members of Mitch Ryder's "Detroit Wheels". later joined by Dennis Robbins on guitar, John Fraga on bass, and finally David Gilbert on vocals. Gilbert, who's vocals could be described as a cross between Robert Plant and Jim Morrison was the final piece of the puzzle and the epitomy of the rock and roll front man.
The rockets toured relentlesly opening for many of the big acts of the day.
Bob Seger, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper, Kiss, are but a few of the many bands they opened for.

A staple of Detroit FM radio between 70's - 90's where they can still be heard occasionaly.
While this release is not as good as the two unreleased LP's.
It does clearly gives you a sense of their nitty gritty blues and R&B infused Detroit Rock and Roll
direction of things to come.

Of the 4 LP's released on CD definately the two best are this one and the live LP which is no longer in print.
Grab a copy while you can get it, your in for a rare midwestern treat.
