I get the sense that Mitch Ryder would have opened for Warren Zevon if Zevon was big enough to have opening acts. Maybe they would have just been on the same bill.
Mitch doesn’t right songs as witty as Warren, (He tries on “Bang Bang”) he isn’t as moodily sexy as Chris Isaak (who he channels on “Red Scar Eyes”) and he doesn’t have Stevie Ray Vaughn’s chops.
And that’s this whole shebang.
A bunch of perfectly acceptable songs by a mid-liner that keeps you entertained while you wait for the main act. Or you showed up very early to the beer & bbq fest and they had a band scheduled for 1PM. That’s Mitch.
“Ich Bin Aus America” is one of the most lyrically stupid presidential protest song I’ve ever heard. The intention is there. The execution, with it’s white boy reggae and unctuous wordplay is really something to have heard.
