We Say...
Mick Collins is a Detroit underground music legend. He's had countless projects, from ultra lo-fi trash rock (the Gories) to Parliament-worshiping space funk (the Voltaire Brothers) to, most successfully, the scuzzed-out garage n' soul of the Dirtbombs. Ultraglide in Black is his watershed moment — a collection of raw, raucous soul covers played loose-limbed and full-throated. The lone original, "Your Love Belongs Under a Rock" is short n' sweet organ rave-up that manages to sound completely at home here, even amongst songs from the likes of Sly and Stevie. Endlessly fun.

They Say...
Take a stack of soul platters from the 1960s and 1970s from the likes of Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder; mix generously with a propulsive mix of two bass guitars, two drummers, and the vocals of a Detroit rock legend; and you have an underrated gem in the Motor City music scene. Ultraglide in Black puts a rock spin on recognizable nuggets of soul and funk while retaining the original version's integrity and message. Most of the tunes covered here are spirited party tracks, including a sparkling version of Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" that features a strident breakdown. Vocalist Mick Collins, of the Gories fame, paints each track with a flavorful delivery which at times will have the listener literally transported to AM radio's yesteryear. The Dirtbombs have created a record that is akin to stumbling across a box of cool records in your parent's attic, and is suitable for continuous play at any house party.
