Additional info: Artist: Steppenwolf Title: Steppenwolf Year: 1968 Format: LP Label: Dunhill Noisy, Gritty Snap, Crackle Pop Vinyl Rip, But It’s Mono!!! Without ever being true innovators, virtuosos of any sort or a groundbreaking force in any special way, Steppenwolf’s charisma was evident from the get-go (or very early on their existence); and with a hymn the size of “Born to be Wild” (by the way, written by the at the time ex-member, guitar player Dennis Edmonton, and under his Bonfire pseudonym), and the projection its inclusion on the movie-of-a-generation Easy Rider gave them (and made most people identify the film and the way-of-life it depicted with the band, up to this day),their place in the Deluxe edition of the Rock History book was pretty instantaneously guaranteed; Additional carburant for this blazing ignition was provided by the cosmic-sounding, hypnotic and trance-inducing version of Hoyt Axton’s anti-drugs anthem “The Pusher”- a bizarre feat at a time of drug culture exaltation (and pre-dating similarly oriented opinions by Neil Young or Lynyrd Skynyrd among others) in the view of those who forget that for the druggies that was after all secondary, as long as they could recognize the scenes and relate to the stories… – , or by the infectious opener “Sookie, Sookie” , chunky and fuzzy guitars, rolling bass and drums, organ swells, Kay’s raucous and punchy singing, another usurpation, yet majestic resurrection of somebody else’s stuff, in this case an original by influential R&B and Soul masters Don Covay and Steve Cropper… In fact, namely on his collaborations with producer Gabriel Mekler, Kay has a tendency to pen tunes with Bubblegum inflections (“Everybody’s Next One”), banal Psych-Poppers or Rock ballads (“Take what you Need” or “Desperation”); surely it sort of becomes excusable in the light of the instrumental surroundings, although they do fare much better in my opinion when they let their Rocking and Boogie roots run free and wild or launch Jam oriented grooves as on “Your Wall’s Too High” or on the closing “Ostrich”( a fine example of Kay’s politically charged lyrics, he who having experienced repression was much more real and honest than most self-proclaimed revolutionaries) ; And it’s also with their raw garage sound that they pay an intense tribute to Rock & Roll God father Chuck Berry (“Berry Rides Again”) and do a down and dirty reading of the classic “Hoochie Coochie Man”, laying two more sturdy pillars that helped cement a reputation solid as Rock – never mind the contentious times that lay ahead, but that’s another story… (comusduke RYM) Track Listing Sookie Sookie Everybody’s Next One Berry Rides Again Hoochie Coochie Man Born To Be Wild Your Wall’s Too High Desperation The Pusher A Girl I Knew Take What You Need The Ostrich Check out more auctions of mine like this one a fine THREE DOG NIGHT Golden Buscuits!!! so it looks like this.
