SONGS FROM THE ROAD

Description

In March 2025, Berlin's Frannz Club was transformed, for one unforgettable evening, into a veritable epicenter of rock 'n' roll. Mitch Ryder delivered a breathtaking performance, capturing the raw energy and emotional intensity of an brand-new live album. While the audio recordings were made in Berlin, the DVD footage was filmed earlier, in February 2025, in Lindewerra, Thuringia, home of the Ruf Records label. Two legendary locations brought together in one exceptional release. The result is a powerful live testimony, mixing electrifying versions of Mitch Ryder's timeless classics with new tracks from his latest studio album. The latest addition to Ruf Records' celebrated "Songs From The Road" series, this CD/DVD set captures Mitch Ryder at his peak: passionate, uncompromising, and timeless. Mitch Ryder is a rock 'n' roll icon, a living legend whose influence has shaped the history of American music. Anyone interested in the origins and ramifications of the genre will recognize him: Mitch Ryder deserves a prominent place in the mythical pantheon of rock 'n' roll. More recently, in 2024, Ryder achieved resounding success with the live album "The Roof Is On Fire" (Ruf Records), recorded during his 2019/2020 tour. The same year also saw the release of his studio album "With Love," recorded in Detroit and produced by Don Was (Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Iggy Pop). In February and March 2026, the wait will finally be over with Mitch Ryder's return to Europe for his "Songs From The Road" tour. With a remarkable discography of over 30 albums and a career spanning more than five decades, one thing is certain: Mitch Ryder is not just a figure in rock history, he is rock history.
