The Songs of Summer

Those who grew up in the 1960's probably well remember such classic tracks from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels as "Little Latin Lupe Lu," "Sock It To Me Baby," "Good Golly Miss Molly," and (of course) "Devil With A Blue Dress On."

In 1983, after over a decade of sluggish album sales, Mitch Ryder was approached by John Mellencamp. Then known as "John Cougar," Mellencamp wanted to produce Ryder's comeback. The resulting album, "Never Kick A Sleeping Dog," is a superb set of good old-fashioned rock and roll.

The first single (a cover of a 1980 Prince tune) was all over album-oriented rock radio during the summer of 1983. Enjoy...
