This one's off the planet!, April 26 2008
By Art Tirrell - "The Vitaman Effect" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby (Audio CD)
I first heard the The Detroit Cobras in the fall of 2005 during an NPR review of the year's 10 best albums. You know how it is...you know the good stuff when you hear it? Well, they had it. I found the album (Bloodshot Records), listened to the sample track, and ordered. Meanwhile, I learned a little about them.Talk about colorful histories. Formed by guitarist Steve Shaw in 1995, the band emerged from the Detroit Garage Rock scene as the best cover band in the Midwest, specializing in Shaw's penchant for forgotten R&B classics. They wrote fresh, updated arrangements, and what do you know, Soul suddenly found a way to rock hard.
Shaw left the group, but the program stayed the same, reaching its peak with the third album, 2005's "Baby." For my money, it's the best retro-R&B album to ever hit the street.
It doesn't matter that the band is a literal revolving door of musicians, hardly ever the same from one performance to the next. The two mainstays, vocalist Rachel Nagy, and guitarist Maribel Restrepo, were the only constants, but Nagy alone would have been enough to carry things.
Once-upon-a-time an exotic dancer, she's right at home in dark, smoke-filled cafes. Her driven style penetrates to the core. She's edgy, loud, slutty, and hypnotic. This is a hard woman, strong, with voice to match. Grrr! I'd take her home in a heartbeat if I wasn't afraid she'd slap me around too much. For now, I'll settle for "Baby's" 20 vibrant tracks and keep them where they've been for the past three years: at the top of my play list.
Sample these first: "Weak Spot" and "Silver and Gold"
Art Tirrell is the author of 2007's, "The Secret Ever Keeps", set on and below the surface of Lake Ontario.

Maximum R&B, Jan 13 2006
By Travis Dubya McGee Bickle "elitist duffer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baby (Audio CD)
This is, not to mince words, an unbelievably great, rootsy, garage-y record...Imagine the choicest, semi-obscure R&B chestnuts done up by a smokin' combo of some of Detroit's finest musicians, and sung by an incredibly hot, soulful frontwoman...has to be heard to be believed. And, the originals by the group are mighty tasty, too.
