Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 22)

I’ve Been Down & I’d Love to Knock the Hell Out of You ♩♪♫

I’ve been kind of bummed out for a few days now… not a whole lot to say. Life will straight show up on you. These next two songs have a 17 year gap between them… and take you to different places. The second song really cracks me up, and I need some laughs tonight.

Because I’ve been down.

♩♪♫ I’ve Been Down 1982

♩♪♫ I’d Love to Knock the Hell Out of You 1999

Social Distortion — Hidden Gems from the B-Side (Week 31)

Angel’s Wings -♫- Down on the World Again

Mike Ness’s music and style has influenced me greatly over the years… I think maybe that Social Distortion was kind of like the missing link I had been searching myself for musically… it was the edge I was needing. I have two of my favorites for you today…

I can’t tell you how many times I have sat around strumming and singing Angel’s Wings over the years…

Angel’s Wings – Sex, Love and Rock ‘n’ Roll 2oO4 ♫

Down on the World Again – White Light, White Heat, White Trash 1996 ♫

Two songs released eight years apart, from the band’s two consecutive studio albums. Part of that long gap was shaped by the death of longtime guitarist Dennis Danell in 2OoO, a loss that deeply affected the band and delayed their return to the studio.

I also included a cool short interview with Mike Ness from 2o25. After undergoing surgery and treatment for throat cancer, he’s back out on the road doing what he loves. You just can’t stop the guy!

Also they just put out a new album, Born to Kill… in May.

Hope you enjoy.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Tenth Avenue North… Week 30 🎧

No Man Is An Island 💯 I Have This Hope

No matter your beliefs… I like you… I’m for you. Together… we can lift each other up. We’re not meant to live this life alone.

Work on trying to let someone in… even if it’s just one.

Ain’t no life outside each other.

I have two excellent songs for you today

🎵 No Man Is an Island 2o14
🎵 I Have This Hope 2o16

Be blessed… and don’t forget.

Hebrews 10:24–25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another
