Steppenwolf Album: “Born to Be Wild: A Retrospective”

Born To Be Wild "Retrospective" is a wopping 34 song tribute to Steppenwolf. This is Real Rock !! PowerHouse Rock !! Steppenwolf to this day still dedicate themselves to bringing us Rock n Roll. The style of Rock n Roll that we have craved and thrived on for decades. Steppenwolf Music is the "Rebel Rock" that speaks to all of us free spirited Rebels in the world.

This Retrospective comes with a fact filled booklet that gives an in depth history of Steppenwolf including some Great Photos.

The booklet alone is worth the price of admission. And thats just for starters. The encore presentation in this collection is the music.

Be prepared to get your rocks off with Hits like:

Magic Carpet Ride- Sookie Sookie- Rock Me- Move Over- Everybody's Next One- For Ladies Only- It's Never Too Late-

The Pusher- Screaming Night Hog- Born To Be Wild-

Hey Lawdy Mama- and the John Kay Hit "I'm Movin On".

Steppenwolf "Retrospective" is for everyone and anyone who wants a little wolf in their lives. John Kay calls this an Excellent Collection of the bands music. Today, Steppenwolf operates without any major label financing. They even have their own in house 24 track recording studio and they continue to tour several months out of the year.

Final thought:

There is nothing retro about this Retrospective.

It is as current today as it was back then. "Go For It" !!

This album has all of my most liked songs that Steppenwolf has recorded.Steppenwolf fans will like this album very much.

I enjoyed listening to this entire 2cd package. Steppenwolf, like many of the groups of the late 60's and early 70's had their own unique sound. You know a John Kay song when you hear it. This is good sounding and represents the group well - highly recommended.

You hear Steppenwolf these days next to Metallica and Motorhead and it's kinda hard to say their name and "heavy metal" in the same breath. But so what? John Kay's delivered the goods for nigh on thirty-two years now and most of it's goods worth hearing. There's a few duff tunes in this collection, especially "Monster," a political anthem in 1970 that sounds awfully dated now. But "Ride With Me," "Rock Me," "Jupiter Child," "Snowblind Friend," "Sookie Sookie" and, but of course,"Born To Be Wild," The Pusher" and "Magic Carpet Ride".........all there, all good, all smokin'. Good deal!

I've been thinking of this theme since 28 years ago! since I happen to watch "Easy Rider" in a movie theater. Whenever I ride a bike or move too fast , it reminds me of that movie and especially the said theme. No more to say. If there was no Internet , I had no chance to hear the song again. Thanks Internet . Many thanks amazon.com !!
