The Dirtbombs enjoyed a boost in recognition after the release of their second album, "Ultraglide in Black", in 2001, a collection of nearly all soul, R & B, and Motown covers, with one original track - "Your Love Belongs Under A Rock". Around this time, a garage rock revival became vibrant in the American and European underground, led in part by fellow Detroit band the White Stripes, and the Dirtbombs were part of a multitude of Detroit bands that subsequently received attention from the music industry. Opening for the White Stripes (and with Jack White acknowledging the Gories as a major influence) brought the band increased publicity as well. In 2005, MSNBC.com listed "Ultraglide" on their list of the top albums of the past 20 years.
