> [@Nanoda](#): > > In general I agree, but I just love Social Distortion’s punk rock rendition of “Ring of Fire” 😃 Well Social D (and frontman Mike Ness in particular) always had a lot of rootsy country and rockabilly influences. If you like Social D, you MUST check out Ness’ two solo albums, Cheating At Solitaire and Under the Influences, which have several country and rockabilly covers and more of an “Americana” feel (less punky, more twangy, but still rockin’). To me, rockabilly and punk go together like chocolate and peanut butter! ---

Hijack trivia: Who did the original version of Black Sabbath’s _Warning_ on their S/E 1st album. (To the best of my knowledge, it’s only available on an OOP Blue Horizon CD Box Set) ---

> [@JohnBckWLD](#): > > Which is why they created the cowpunk sound of Jason & The Scorchers. Hmm, I like cowpunk (although I’m not sure where psychobilly ends and cowpunk begins), but I’m not familiar with the band. I will check them out, though! Would you say Mike Ness is more like cowpunk? I know he isn’t psychobilly, that’s for sure. ---

Would you say Mike Ness is more like cowpunk? I know he isn’t psychobilly, that’s for sure. I really like ‘Cheating At Solitaire’ and haven’t heard any other (solo) stuff that he’s done. Even though I’ll concede some artists don’t like being pigeonholed into a genre/category, I guess I’d label the stuff I’ve heard from Ness as ‘rockabilly with an edge’. Jason & The Scorchers best stuff from the mid/late 80’s is the hardest to track down, it’s been OOP for years.
