Product Description

Description
One of the things that always set Social Distortion apart from the rest of the '80s California punks was their incorporation of twangy country/rockabilly into their driving sound.They wound up covering everything from "Ring of Fire" to Jimmy Work's "Making Believe" without sacrificing a bit of sonic fury. With Social D. frontman Mike Ness' solo debut, it becomes apparent that most of those country leanings came from him.
On CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE, Ness is freed to furtherexplore his rootsy Americana influences, from straight country and bluegrass treatments of original tunes to covers of "Long Black Veil", Hank Williams's "You Win Again" and Dylan's "Don't Think Twice". Naturally, Ness attacks much of thismaterial with the same punk-inspired brute force and unflinching lyrical realism that made Social Distortion a success,and it makes CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE an intriguing chapter inNess' continually unfolding musical story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The album symbolises the immense talent of Mike Ness., 25 Dec 2000
Cheating at solitaire,well where do I start! The album is a brilliant display of Mike Ness's talents. If you love Social Distortion, then you'll here all of Mike's influences in this one CD. All of the tracks stand out as pure masterpieces. They range from rockability to the punk rock as displayed in the brilliant Social Distortion. The standout track for me is hard to decide, but if I had to chose it would be 'Charmed life'. It moody, down and dirty. If you love this album then feel free to get any Social Distortion album, and here where their roots are at. Otherwise then get a hold of Mike Ness's other album called 'Under The Influences'. Pure unrestricted music!
