So, I'm sitting at work today, as I do everyday, and "Dope Fiend Blues" started playing on my computer. For whatever reason, this got me thinking about various songs Mike Ness has done that I would have a blast playing in Rock Band.
Any other takers?
A Quick Bio: In 1999, Ness released his first solo album, Cheating at Solitaire. Although some of Social Distortion's songs paid homage to country music artists, Cheating at Solitaire was an unalloyed expression of Ness's country influences. Solitaire included guest appearances by rock icon Bruce Springsteen, former Stray Cat Brian Setzer and drumming legend Josh Freese as well as members of Royal Crown Revue. Springsteen had touted Social D's Heaven and Hell as his favorite record of the year in a Rolling Stone interview in 1992. Ness continued in this vein, releasing a compilation of country covers entitled Under the Influences that same year. Both albums came out on Time Bomb Recordings. Ness toured extensively in the U.S. in support of these albums, backed partially by the present-day (2006) incarnation of Social Distortion; ex Plugz and Bob Dylan drummer Charlie Quintana, Brent Harding (upright & electric bass) and Jonny Wickersham (guitar tech). Ness and the band played at Woodstock '99.
