From the 1960s on, Detroit has continuously produced some of the nations most successful and influential rock and roll musicians. Through oral history research, this study looked specifically at the musical industry (record labels and radio stations), musical artists (recording artists and recording studios), and musical outlets (music venues and music retailers) with the intention to better uncover the aspects that allow the Detroit community to maintain an ongoing rock music success streak. Through conducted interviews with many influential Detroit orientated musical leaders as well as referencing scarce existing literature, this study finds four distinct avenues that lead to Detroit’s longitudinal success. The study references the aspect of defiance as one of the key traits that allows Detroit to evade musical homogenization. This study also finds that Detroit’s unique publicity outlets (radio stations, music publications, counterculture promotions, and venues) offer a stronger voice and a larger audience for local musicians that translates into a larger musical fan base for Detroit musicians. This study documents how the unique suburban layout around the Detroit community provides segmented pockets of unique creativity. Finally, this study acknowledges that Detroit has maintained the direction and overall ideals of the early rock music pioneers of 1960s without letting evolving cultural trends dilute the regional music climate. v For: j o mark kristen Jim Foust I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering dedication to this project. Without Kristen Schmitt, my wife, editor, and moral supporter, I would have never been able to complete this process. Special Thanks: John Warren and Nick Zoffel, Tori Ekstrand and Andrew Schocket Thanks for your voice, time and input: Russ Gibb, Ted Nugent, Slash, Ike Brunner, Kid Rock, Wayne Kramer, Mitch Ryder, John Sinclair, Jim Diamond, James Petix, Gary Grimshaw, Tom Wright, Tom Wilson, Jim Townsend, Michael Stevens, Dan Carlisle, Mike Staff, Tony D’Anunnizo, Anthony Allegrina, Culley Summers, William Davidson, Alfred Taubman, Christophe Delcourt, Kevin Watts, Bill Martindale, Leo Early, Harry Phillips. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I’ve read so many acknowledgment pages. I never know one person who is being acknowledged or understand the need to express thanks to every person who you may have known since second grade in this section. It to me does no good. I flip the page. I acknowledge that unlike many academics, I am not a big reader. I acknowledge that that this trait does not have to be a negative. I also acknowledge that I am not sure if that last sentence is grammatically correct. I can’t talk Foucault or understand Critical Theory from the Frankfurt School and I acknowledge that. I’ve tried. But I can’t swim that deep. Don’t feel sorry for my academic shortcomings. I am a dabbler—and I am quite happy with my traits. I guess in a way I am true to my Detroit genetics. I am good with my hands—and a hard worker in many aspects. I can plaster walls better than you. I change my own oil and love manual labor. I am also a people person. I truly love interacting with society. I love hearing stories. Maybe I like personal narrative so much because it paints more vivid pictures in my mind than written words. Conversation gets me excited. It is these traits which I think have allowed me to conduct a study like the following. I think it is also these traits which have allowed me to have “access” to people and testimony most researchers can’t find. We make the full ecosystem. Me and some researcher at Stanford who wants to know how specific regions have so much success at certain tasks. She understands the theory more in-depth than I. I understand how to network, talk, and get through to interviewees whose statements are powerful and telling. I hope my document allows further ammunition for all individuals who are intrigued by the concept that Detroit isn’t successful on most scales, yet can produce many of the most talented and influential musicians, throughout the years, regardless of these shortcomings. Understanding Detroit as a culture is quite opposite from academic pursuits. Again, this is something that my mindset and persona seems equipped for. The Detroit mindset seems to embrace the idea of never using extra syllables, extra makeup, or extra fluff. The Detroit culture is built on the pollution-soaked banks of the Rouge River, and more importantly, with the mind frame of people accustomed to the assembly line labor. Nearly my whole family is in some way or another tied to working with Ford Motor Company. Nearly everyone in my grade school class had parents who worked for Ford or Fords as we call it. This polarization of academic and Detroit mindsets puts this research in an interesting position: a position with a duty to both deliver the information in a manner that is both fitting to those who created the unique culture as well as appropriate for those reading the conducted research. I hope the following represents the passion, intrigue, and ideals associated with music from the Motor City and begins to provide documentation and understanding on how Detroit continually Kicks Out The Jams. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION..................................................................................1 Assertions of the Study ........................................................................................7 Literature Review.................................................................................................9 Study Overview ...................................................................................................14 Importance of the Study.......................................................................................15 Method of the Study.............................................................................................17 Organization of the Study ....................................................................................20 CHAPTER II DETROIT HISTORY OVERVIEW......................................................25 Detroit: The Grounding........................................................................................26 African-American Turmoil in Detroit..................................................................32 Detroit’s Music to the Masses: Motown..............................................................35 Rock Music and the Rise of the 1960s: Branching From Motown......................38 1970 and the End of the Counterculture ..............................................................42 1980: Music Rebels and a Melting Pot................................................................43 1990s and Beyond: Detroit Continues to Persevere ............................................45 CHAPTER III DETROIT MUSIC INDUSTRY ...........................................................50 Early Radio ..........................................................................................................50 Radio, Culture, and Music Evolution ..................................................................56 The Hippie Movement and the Detroit Perspective.............................................59 Detroit’s Music Magazine – CREEM Magazine .................................................66 Detroit’s Radio Icon is Born: WRIF....................................................................70 Detroit Radio and the Politics of a Song..............................................................75 viii Tabulating Success: The Homogenizing of Radio...............................................76 The Radio Show: The New Payola......................................................................81 The Labels: Detroit Playing the Politics of a Song..............................................82 CHAPTER IV MUSICAL ARTISTS............................................................................94 African-American Ideals in Detroit Rock Music.................................................101 Battle of the Bands: Local Competition...............................................................105 The Rise of Mitch Ryder: Steering Detroit Rock and Roll..................................108 The Undertone of Detroit Musicians: Defiance...................................................110

    STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat Masteloo, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradion to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Sck, from which the band takes it’s name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Sck funcons at mes like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his selfdesigned touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Masteloo’s drumming encompasses not just the acousc kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more. TONY LEVIN - Born in Boston, Tony Levin started out in classical music, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock, he has had a notable career, recording and touring with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Yes, Alice Cooper, Gary Burton, Buddy Rich and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books. In addion to touring with Sck Men, since more than 30 years is currently a member of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Band, and jazz bands Levin Brothers and L’Image. His popular website, tonylevin.com, featured one of the web’s first blogs, and has over 4 million visits. PAT MASTELOTTO - Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, so too has Pat Masteloo, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming.

  • JD Reynolds Is an Artist in the Truest Sense of the Word
    JD Reynolds is an artist in the truest sense of the word. A true singer, a real songwriter, a neoteric producer, an incredible dancer and striking performer, all wrapped up in a stunning package that could grace the cover of any magazine in the world, and yet, her down to earth country girl charm is what makes this extraordinary artist so real. JD Reynolds was born an artist. “It’s in my blood. Music, melody, lyrics and dance flow through my veins, gifts straight from God for which I am thankful”. JD’s Mother had Elvis, Michael Jackson, Prince, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston on daily replay in the house, so JD grew up listening to the King of Rock ‘n Roll, The Prince of Pop, The PRINCE of Everything, The Caruso of Rock, The Queen of Country Music and The Queen of the Night. JD’s sound is fresh originality for country music. “My entire album came to me like a bolt of lightning, the JD sound, my sound, respecting country music routes yet having my own next level twist”. As an up and coming producer, JD teamed up with seasoned producer Braddon Williams to co-produce what country music insiders have nicknamed “The Jagged Little Pill of country". Braddon has achieved more than thirty top-ten hits, amassed over thirty times platinum in record sales, and his work has received both Grammy and ARIA award nominations, credits include Beyoncé, Snoop Dogg, P Diddy, The Script, Kelly Clarkson, and his latest favourite, JD Reynolds. Braddon knew he was helping to create a unique country album for an incredible talent.

  • Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) to Track XM Satellite Radio Airplay
    NEWS RELEASE Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) to Track XM Satellite Radio Airplay 6/24/2003 Washington D.C., June 24, 2003 -- XM Satellite Radio, the nation's leading satellite radio service, announced that Nielsen Broadcasting Data Systems (BDS) will begin tracking music played on XM Satellite Radio starting next month. Record labels depend on Nielsen BDS for information about radio airplay. As the music industry's leading music- monitoring service, Nielsen BDS provides data that Billboard magazine uses to determine its airplay charts. XM Satellite Radio is the first and only satellite radio company to be monitored by Nielsen BDS. Nielsen BDS will utilize its extensive computer technology to identify songs played on ten XM Satellite Radio channels 24 hours a day, 365 days a year throughout the United States. XM playlists, as monitored by Nielsen BDS, will be available to Nielsen BDS subscribers and included in its national airplay charts. "BDS monitoring heralds a new stage in XM's growth and importance as our commitment to breaking artists can now be fully illustrated and documented to the music community," said Lee Abrams, chief programming officer for XM Satellite Radio. "The fact that BDS wants to track the songs played on XM is a great reflection of the impact that XM is making on radio listeners." "Nielsen BDS is committed to providing meaningful information on music airplay whether from terrestrial radio or from any other significant delivery platform. XM's pioneering role in satellite radio and their overwhelming consumer acceptance makes it clear that their information will impact Nielsen BDS's services in a very positive way," said Rob Sisco, president of Nielsen Music and COO of Nielsen Retail Entertainment Information.
