Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2nd album from 2001 featuring Mick Collins and his merry band of Dirtbombs, the album title taken from the cool late-nite flick Ultraglide In Blue is influenced by Sly & The Family Stone, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Parliament, The Miracles and a host of others to obscure to mention with the addition of squealing feedback-driven guitar, dual drumming and walloping bass. In The Red Records. 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who says rock 'n' roll is dead?, October 8, 2005
By TimothyFarrell22 (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
The Dirtbombs manage to combine rock 'n' roll with soul in a way so fantastic few bands could ever pull it off. Like everything the great Mick Collins has done, it proves there are still a few great pure rock 'n' roll bands out there. The album is a series of covers (with the exception of "Your Love Belongs Under a Rock") that match and sometimes manage to be better than the originals. The thing that made the New York Dolls and the Ramones so great makes Mick Collins great - he knows his rock 'n' roll history. I would give anything to be able to go through the man's record collection. He covers well known artists, but chooses more obscure tunes as opposed to their hits. If most bands where to cover Thin Lizzy, they'd choose "The Boys Are Back In Town" or "Jailbreak". Collins picks "Ode to a Black Man" (coincedentally the greatest song on the album). An original mix of two bassists, two drummers, and the great Collins on guitar and vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey, Dublin guy, go back to your U2 albums., July 17, 2002
By Barry Offwhite (Antarctica) - See all my reviews
I wonder if the guy from Dublin realizes that "Ultraglide In Black" is a covers album. Shouldn't he be complaining about this album's songwriting on the Thin Lizzy, Curtis Mayfield, and Stevie Wonder product pages?

This album is great. It's old time soul/R&B (back when R&B actually meant Rhythm and Blues, not watered down commercial hip-hop) with a modern punk rock edge. But as frontman Mick Collins points out, "It's NOT supposed to be garage punk. It's a louder, faster version of the O'Jays."

5.0 out of 5 stars music with SOUL!, June 26, 2001
By A Customer
Mick Collins is the MAN! This guy could sing the phone book and make it sound good. His latest with the Dirtbombs is a real, honst-to-goodness soul record made up of mainly covers from his early heros. All of these tracks are served up with a helping of fuzz guitar that lets you know they are not messing around. There are a lot of other bands doing the whole soul cover version thing, but none of them are this good.
