Alice, Bob Ezrin and heavy friends pen raucous love letter to the Motor City.

As typified by stirring tribal riffer Detroit City 2021, this inspired happening pays gutsy tribute to the ’60s Michigan scene that spawned MC5, The Stooges, Alice, Suzi Quatro et al, Cooper conjuring an era when “[Slim] Shady wore a bib and the [Insane Clown] Posse wasn’t even alive.” With Wayne Kramer co-piloting an electrifying cover of Sister Anne, Sister Sledge/The Motor City Horns attendant on $1,000 High Heel Shoes, and Cooper sketching a gaggle of vivid deviants on Social Debris, Hail Mary and Drunk And In Love (“I saw you baby and I pissed my pants”, begins the latter), the energy never flags. With Cooper in sterling voice throughout, perhaps the most exhilarating is Go Man Go, a deliciously dumb, Eddie Cochran-style riffer wherein an ex-con’s beau/partner in crime Crazy Jane, “Knows that I’m a moron.”
