└────────┘
Detroit hard rockers Frijid Pink formed in 1967, originally comprised of
singer Thomas Beaudry (stage name Kelly Green), guitarist Gary Ray
Thompson, bassist Tom Harris, keyboardist Larry Zelanka, and drummer
Richard Stevers. After two years of relentless touring throughout the
southeast Michigan area, the group - substituting Harris with Beaudry on
bass - signed with the Parrot label in 1969. Although their first two
singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues," failed to attract much
attention, their third effort for the company - a distorted, guitar-heavy
interpretation of "The House of the Rising Sun" - reached the Top Ten on
the US pop charts, becoming an even bigger hit overseas. Frijid Pink's
self-titled debut LP followed in 1970, as did the follow-up "Defrosted";
subsequent singles including "Sing A Song For Freedom" and "Heartbreak
Hotel", however, failed to match earlier successes, and after 1972's "Earth
Omen" the group did not reenter the studio until recording 1975's "All Pink
Inside", disbanding soon after.
Frijid Pink's self-titled debut album is a slashing, seriously soulful
example of late-60s Detroit rock near its best. Although they never
registered with critics or rock historians the way MC5 or the Stooges did,
Frijid Pink had obviously learned something in the course of two years on
the road, and with Mike Valvano producing, they were able to channel the
excitement of their work onto the grooves of this album very neatly. Those
who bought the number seven single "House Of The Rising Sun" weren't
disappointed with the bluesy boogie sound of "I'm On My Way" or the
slowed-down Yardbirds approach of "Drivin' Blues" (somehow, when Kelly
Green sang 'My Woman Loves Me' it seemed to matter), and even if "Tell Me
Why" was a tuneless mess, Gary Thompson made up for it with a fuzz-out
guitar performance that sounded like speaker burnout in slow motion.
They were back in form on the next number, the crunchy, pumping rocker "End
Of The Line", where Green, Thompson, and company move into Led Zeppelin
territory very effectively (you can just imagine them switching gear into
'Black Dog' in a jam to this song on-stage), with a killer performance by
Rich Stevers on the drums. And that was all leading up to "House Of The
Rising Sun". "Boozin' Blues," which closed the original LP, is a blues
workout reminiscent of Cream's version of Willie Dixon's "Spoonful"; a
virtuoso effort by Thompson and Green, it shows off a more reflective and
studied side of the band's sound.
