Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Baby, the Detroit Cobras' third album, has seen criticism for being a bit tame. This, however, seems to be missing the beauty of the record. From the opener "Slipping Around" onwards, what really hits is that the bog-standard bluesy rock 'n' roll that the White Stripes honed and everyone and his brother has ripped off since has given way to some great Motown-esque pop. Sure, the guitars are still dirty, and it still sounds recorded on the cheap, but this is the sound of people having fun. And about time too.

Sure, the guitars are still dirty, and it still sounds recorded on the cheap, but this is the sound of people having fun. And about time too.
This is obvious on the aforementioned "Slipping Around", but also on tracks such as "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand" (which features a great singalong chorus) and "Hot Dog (Watch Me Eat)", which aside from having a great title, makes you want to dance and grin like a goon. Even potentially glum songs like "Now You're Gone" and "It's Raining" manage to be sweetly sad with an air of optimism, rather than wallowing in misery. The rock 'n' soul revival starts here. --Marc Bloomfield
