Songs performed by Detroit rocker Mitch Ryder, such as 'Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly' and 'Jenny Take a Ride' are among the most well loved of the twentieth century, but his fascinating life story is unknown to many. It Was All Right is a portrait of Ryder built on firsthand 'road stories'a rockandroll travelogue that is also an insider's look at fame and popular culture in America.Born in 1945 in Hamtramck, Michigan, Ryder has been in the music business for 47 years, made more than two dozen albums' worth of recordings, and given upward of 8,000 performances. In It Was All Right, author James A. Mitchell has collected an impressive array of anecdotes from Ryder's extraordinary life in music, including Ryder's stories of his first gigs in Greenwich Village clubs, singing with a black trio in the early days of the civil rights movement, jamming with Jimi Hendrix, and attending private parties thrown by the Beatles. Mitchell also chronicles Ryder's more recent career, as he struggled to regain his popularity among American audiences after the 1970s and returned home to the Detroit music scene in the 1980s.In all, Ryder's abundant commentary and Mitchell's easy narration combine to give readers a fastpaced tour of a turbulent musical journey that is still unfolding. Whether blending musical genres or dabbling in political activism, Ryder's oneofakind experiences will intrigue music fans and anyone interested in musical or cultural history.
