FRIJID PINK

 Detroit hard rockers Frijid Pink formed in 1967, originally comprised of singer 

Thomas Beaudry (stage name Kelly Green), guitarist Gary Ray Thompson, bassist Tom Harris, 

keyboardist Larry Zelanka, and drummer Richard Stevers. After two years of relentless touring 

throughout the southeast Michigan area, the group -- substituting Harris with Beaudry on bass,

 signed with the Parrot label in 1969. Although their first two singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Drivin' Blues," 

failed to attract much attention, their third effort for the company -- a distorted, guitar-heavy 

interpretation of "The House of the Rising Sun" -- reached the Top Ten on the U.S. pop charts, 

becoming an even bigger hit overseas. Frijid Pink's self-titled debut LP 

followed in 1970, as did the follow-up Defrosted

"FRIJID PINK"

Frijid Pink's self-titled debut album is a slashing, seriously soulful example of late-'60s Detroit rock near its best. 

Although they never registered with critics or rock historians the way MC5 or the Stooges did, 

Frijid Pink had obviously learned something in the course of two years on the road, 

and with Mike Valvano producing, they were able to channel the excitement of their work 

onto the grooves of this album very neatly. Those who bought the number seven single

 "House of the Rising Sun" weren't disappointed with the bluesy boogie sound of "I'm on My Way" 

or the slowed-down Yardbirds approach of "Drivin' Blues" (somehow, when Kelly Green sang

 "My woman loves me" it seemed to matter), and even if "Tell Me Why" was a tuneless mess, 

Gary Thompson made up for it with a fuzz-out guitar performance that sounded 

like speaker burnout in slow motion. They were back in form on the next number, 

the crunchy, pumping rocker "End of the Line," where Green, Thompson, 

and company move into Led Zeppelin territory very effectively...(AllMusic)
