Frijid Pink (1970) God Gave Me You
A garage band from Detroit who never attained the longevity and notoriety of their contemporaries, The Stooges and The MC5, but carried a compact, bluesy groove and more melodic tunes. Their biggest hit was the cover of House of the Rising Sun a track located in the middle of their self titled debut. And while it displays their satanic jagged guitar work and the singer Kelly Green's bluesy Leon Russell-esque howl, the other cover on the LP, Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel, suited their sound better.
