Back in the USA

by MC5

Back in the USA cover art

Produced by future Bruce Springsteen manager Jon Landau, the MC5's first true studio album completely stripped away the sprawling free-jazz jams of their live debut. 'Back in the USA' is a wonderfully playful, remarkably tight proto-punk classic, delivering fiercely energetic, highly melodic garage-rock anthems dripping with raw, unapologetic 1950s rock-and-roll swagger.
