Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: Frijid Pink, “State Line Boogie,” 2011

Brian Leiter

We haven't featured this Detroit-based blues rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s in several years (e.g., here and here).  This number only appers, to my knowledge, on this 2011 collection by a reformed version of the band, although I believe it's one that was part of their much earlier live sets–it certainly soundsl ike it could have come from the "original" band.

Feel free to add links to other favorite Frijid Pink numbers (and if anyone knows the origin of this particular number, please feel free to add that too).

    As a kid, it took me a long time to recognize that these guys weren't Pink Floyd.

    "State Line Boogie" was written by newer members of the band, e.g., Rick Houke, who was born in 1966. A review in the Aug. 1, 2011, issue of Maverick (music magazine?), reads:

    "Pink • FRIJID PINK, FRIJID PINK, FRIJID PINK • Repertoire Records REP5242 • I remember buying the vinyl single of The House Of The Rising Sun by Frijid Pink back in the 1970s so was very surprised when I was asked to review a new 2011 album by this rock group, especially as I hadn’t heard their name in a good many years. They can move from heavy rock to rock ’n’ roll with relative ease and will have you wanting to get up and jive to the fun and raucous State Line Boogie as well as singing along to well-known tunes as Tobacco Road from the pen of John D. Loudermilk with driving guitar solos and rocking piano. Fine album from a rock band that has passed the test of time. If you also remember this group and would like to check them out as well as some other blasts from the past, then click on the record label line below.
