Upon the reissue of Detective's self-titled debut album for Record Store Day 2022, vocalist Michael Des Barres recognizes that the band recorded great music in 1977, despite the rock and roll distraction of drugs and debauchery.
Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 in LA by John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Goldy McJohn (organ, piano) and Jerry Edmonton (drums) who were previously members of the Canadian band The Sparrows. They were joined by Michael Monarch (lead guitar) and Rushton Moreve (bass). The band signed to Dunhill/ABC the same year and with producer Gabriel Mekler they recorded their self-titled debut album.
