The Stranger

Detroit garage-soul mensch Mick Collins is one of those record-collector nerds who can deliver the goods onstage and in the studio. He's been kicking out righteous jams since 1986, first with the Gories, then with Blacktop, and since 1995 with the Dirtbombs. The latter group's affinity for soul, rock, and electro-pop covers manifested with incredible force on Ultraglide in Black and If You Don't Already Have a Look. But their originals also wallop with the energy, passion, and hookworthiness that have defined the Motor City's vital music scene for decades.
