Ryder Mitch - Roof Is On Fire The

Fakta This double CD came into being when I celebrated my 75th birthday while touring Germany. But generally speaking, age plays no meaningful role for me. When it comes to music, age is completely irrelevant. Whether I play with newcomers or with seasoned musicians - as is the case on this live recording from the birthday tour - the focus is not on age, but on the shared joy of making music together. Most of the musicians you hear on this album are people I have known for a very long time. Since our very first rehearsal in a communist-run youth center in East Berlin many years ago, we have continued to grow together in terms of integrity, power, self-respect and performance. Fans from the very early days will quickly notice that the music presented here in no way falls short of my debut back then in West Germany. So sit back, listen and enjoy a process of artistic development that I truly wish could go on forever. Yours, Mitch Ryder
