Mike Ness (Social Distortion) – Under The Influences (1999) - New Vinyl Lp 2018 Craft Recordings Reissue with Gatefold Jacket - Country Rock / Rockabilly / Covers
Street Date: 4/6/18
Mike Ness is most widely known as the frontman for Social Distortion - a garage band that would profoundly impact the American Punk Rock movement. But long before he ever heard the Ramones, the Clash or the Sex Pistols Ness grew up listening to early rock and roll. His solo work represents the full spectrum of all these influences, integrating punk, rockabilly, primitive rock and roll, country and blues while maintaining the energy that typifies Mike Ness.
Under The Influences is an influences-driven collection of country, rock and bluegrass covers of songs that inspired Mike Ness. He was especially inspired by the roots of American music, and his earliest influences were the pioneers of rock and roll — musicians that were scandalous and rebellious in their day. Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones, Woody Guthrie and Creedence Clearwater Revival marked Ness’ early years. The musicianship of the bands and the revolutionary spirit at their core appealed to Ness. This radical essence would become his calling-card, but he would never lose the love of his roots.
