5.0 out of 5 stars Great period piece, September 25, 2003

This review is from: Frijid Pink (Audio CD)

Alternating boogie and heavy, sludgy proto-metal, FP's self titled release is a must-own for those with an interest in the period. Every 'Yah' and 'Gut-ta' uttered (and there are a LOT of them), every overdriven, fuzz-drenched chord is worth the price of admission.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frijid Pink (Audio CD)

I first had this album on 8 track. The tape broke and for 25 years I looked for it, but was unsucessful. It is a great piece of work for that era of rock'n roll/garage punk/underground culture. Their remake of The House Of The Rising Sun is electrifying. Gary Ray Thompson on lead guitar is out of sight. This remake went to number 7 in Feb 1970. It was even hotter in Europe going to number 1. Drivin Blues and Heartbreak Hotel are just as impressive. The whole CD is great. A short lived band like so many back than, but some of the best music made.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a THRILL !!, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frijid Pink (Audio CD)

I can't believe I'm getting an opportunity to hear this music again after all of these years!! (I grew up only a few blocks from the drummer Rich Stevers and used to listen to the band practice from his basement!) This recording is nearly 30 years old but sounds great. I had forgotten how this band stayed with the roots of rock and roll by including some blues tracks.

Kelly Green's voice is soulful and unique. Gary Ray Thompson's use of the wah and other guitar effects are awesome throughout the CD. Obviously, "House Of The Rising Sun" is the best known song of the bunch, but there is not a "stinker" on this CD.

I highly recommend it to anyone out there from the days of the REAL (and one and only) Woodstock. It will be a delightful reminder of the days when rock was rock and attention was paid to true musicianship!!

Detroit was and still is one rockin' city and this band is just another outstanding example.

To the genius who made the decision to re-release the music of Frijid Pink - THANK YOU.
