ULTRAGLIDE IN BLACK
Ultraglide in Black is an album by the American rock music group The Dirtbombs, released on May 21, 2001. The album is mostly covers of Soul and Funk songs. The band leader Mick Collins stated that this album was his tribute to the black music he grew up with. The only song that is not a cover is “Your Love Belongs Under a Rock”. The album cover pays homage to Stevie Wonder’s 1967 album cover for I Was Made to Love Her. (More from Wikipedia)
The second album by the Dirtbombs, Ultraglide in Black came out in 2001 when the Garage Rock Revival was on the rise, led in part by Detroit’s own the White Stripes. The Dirtbombs were the opening act for the White Stripes in this period, with bandleader Jack White acknowledging his influence by the Gories.
