Social Distortion plan acoustic album for 2009
http://www.aol.spinner.com/2008/04/02/social-distortion-unpl...
Punk veterans Social Distortion aren't exactly known for soft numbers. But change is healthy, or so it's suggested. To that end, singer/guitarist Mike
Ness reveals to Spinner that he and his band are planning an acoustic album for 2009. "I think it could be really, really neat," he says. "It's almost
like a Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen/Johnny Cash kind of feel with a punk edge ... but acoustic."
The effort will feature new renditions of older songs and maybe a few new tunes. Ness came up with the idea after kicking off, for 10 weeks, his
holiday-timed shows with a handful of Social D hits performed acoustically. "It just really set a cool vibe and it made us really realize how powerful
these songs can be," he explains. "Sometimes they're more powerful stripped down than with full volume."
Fans shouldn't worry about this album serving as a time filler. Ness also plans to release another solo record, and a proper Social Distortion studio
album. "I don't know what will be first," he says."It's hard to say. I'm kind of leaving the first part of next year open for writing and recording
and whatever happens, happens."
Ness begins a solo tour May 2 at the Stagecoach Festival at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, Calif. The run lasts for three weeks. He has scheduled
three more weeks in July and December. "For me, that's a very light year," he says. "That's what I needed. I needed to spend more time with the
family."
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
