Album Review

"I'm back!" Kicking off her first collection of all new material in over a decade with one of the most unequivocal declarations in her entire catalog, the Divine Miss Q is clearly out for blood. Titled for one of the most self-defining singles of the '70s, the raw roar of "Devilgate Drive," Back to the Drive serves up a dozen tracks that might look back to the Chinnichap era for energy and enthusiasm (Mike Chapman is among her collaborators here), but are eyeing the future too. Too many of her contemporaries, after all, are content to simply spin out the old hits again and again, until you cannot move for all the re-recordings. Back to the Drive is all new — as she proves with her assault upon its one cover, Neil Young's "Rocking in the Free World." Guitars on stun, vocals on 11, Back to the Drive rocks as hard as any of Quatro's '70s discs, but — more importantly than that — it sounds as fresh as any of them as well. More than three decades have elapsed since "Can the Can" ushered her into view, but Back to the Drive is the sound of her starting all over again. And it's up there with the best records she's ever made.

Super Suzi!

We need more Suzi! We need ALL of her albums!

Back to the Drive

This album rocks! Suzi hasn't lost it and she hasn't faded - she has only gotten better in her absence. From cut one through twelve she is in top form. Her cover of Neil Young's Rockin' In The Free World is exciting and she delivers with authority. I have always felt that if an artist can't improve a song they shouldn't cover it. Covering an already great song takes one into dangerous territory. Well, Suzi pulls it off with style. To hear a woman sing it with a snarl gives it new meaning. This album is solid, it doesn't miss a beat, and it will leave you spent with a smile on your face. Play it loud and enjoy.

It's pretty far-fetched, as some revisionists are now claiming, to view Suzi Quatro as a precursor to the "riot grrrls" of the '90s. Her brand of mid-'70s glam pop was far more innocuous and, in any case, often supplied by professional songwriters. What she did prove was that it was possible for a petite woman to play bass, sing, and wear leather with a reasonable degree of raunch and pride. That, with enough musical hooks to draw in the teen pop crowd,...
