I rather liked earlier recordings of The DETROIT COBRAS so I was looking forward to reviewing this CD.I hadn’t heard anything from them since their 2001 release “Life Love and Leaving” on SFTRI. This release still has plenty of obscure rock and soul covers butthey seem much more placid (flaccid?). Rachel Nagy’s voice still sounds sweet although a very clean andsmooth production has left the band without any of the real grit that I previously enjoyed. There are some decent songs on here but many sound as if they were being performed by BONNIE RAITT or someone. Not bad, but way too middle-aged or FM radio for me.
