Boss Lady by The Detroit Cobras (2001)


In the early 2000's, before the iPod, I was still burning CDs for my Sony CD walkman. I would make theme based CDs; a lot of them were to be used while I jogged. I remember one such themed CD based on the Detroit blues/soul/garage revival music of that era. That CD was packed with the White Stripes, the Soledad Brothers, and the Detroit Cobras. I just loved Rachel Nagy's gravelly, soulful voice set on top of some good ole rock n' roll party music.

The band is still out there, promoting the music they love with impassioned covers. Check out their website for more info.

Here is a track off of their 2001 album, Life, Love, and Leaving.
