The Racketeers

The notion of MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer and The Damned founder Brian James forming a band is enough to warm the heart of most any aging Rock & Roll reprobate, but the good news is that their project "Mad For The Racket" actually has more going for it than a few interesting names. Of course, Kramer and James aren't the only recognizable folks on board; ex-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan plays on all 12 tracks, while Stewart Copeland of the Police, Clem Burke from Blondie, and Brock Avery of Kramer's solo band all take turns handling percussion duties. The Racketeers, the ad hoc group's first album, finds all parties involved in strong form.
