RYDER MITCH - CD NEVER KICK A SLEEPING DOG

Popis - NEVER KICK A SLEEPING DOG:
The legendary Mitch Ryder was in fine vocal form when he unleashed this powerful hound dog of an album way back in 1983. Mitch was already regarded as an R&B legend by the Eighties, but on this collection of well chosen songs, he was keen to re-establishing his presence on the ever-changing music scene.
Mitch was ably assisted on this venture by artist-turned-producer John Cougar Mellencamp, whose band also provides a contemporary backing. Among the contributors to the success of these tracks is Kenny Aronoff, whose forceful drumming nails down a solid beat. There also some special guests among the backing vocalists, including a surprise visit from songstress Marianne Faithfull, who duets with Mr. Ryder on A Thrills A Thrill. Among the other standout performances is a cover of the Prince tune When You Were Mine and the lively opener B.I.G.T.I.M.E. It sure is a big time album that still packs a punch - and a kick.
