	Mike Ness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mike Ness (born Michael James Ness) (born April 3, 1962) is a guitarist, vocalist, and chief song writer for the punk rock band Social Distortion.
		Ness was born in Stoneham, Massachusetts and raised in Orange County, California.
		This is the first time Ness collaborated with another songwriter since 1990's self-titled album, on which he and then bassist John Maurer wrote 'Let it be Me'.

		Mike Ness fronted the Fullerton, California troop Social Distortion, and it was his voice that tied everything so messily together for me. After the initial release of energy on Mommy's Little Monster, something stranger began happening.
		Ness perhaps, I fantasized, had a similar experience with his folks music, but he was the one with the balls to flaunt it.
		Ness has a group of musicians who are enormously adept at bringing the songs to new life, and Ness gravel-growls his way through to near perfection.

		Mike Ness was ahead of most in declaring punk to be a kind of postmodern folk idiom, and among all who've made that claim, he's by far the finest example of it in action.
		Ness has never been one for subtlety, and in case you didn't catch the significance of this album, there's a Dylan cover -- the first single, "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)" -- and a guest appearance by Bruce Springsteen within the first three songs.
		Ness is the sort of guy who pulled a pseudo-Robert-Mitchum-in-Night-of-the-Hunter and tattoo'd the words "Love" and "Pain" on his knuckles -- indicative of his story, which has always been about the paths less traveled of men who play games they know they were born to lose.

	Mike Ness - Rockabilly Central
		As singer and guitarist for Social D, Ness has always been openly reverent of folk and blues music, drawing as much inspiration from such artists as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams as he has from the Clash or the Sex Pistols.
		Ness: Well, the neat thing about this record is that we intended to have guests come in and help make it even more special right from the start.
		Ness: Social D may never be the kind of group that sells 5 million records or anything like that, but the fact that we've always been just beneath the surface of commercial success has actually helped drive us to go on.

	Concert Review -- Mike Ness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The change is one from a band that delivers an intense experience with an explosive blast of sound or sings regretfully of a life of hard luck to one that occasionally comes close to plodding along without any real direction.
		Even with a set that had the feel of a showcase -- introduce the song, play the song, repeat -- Ness, accompanied by his band (4 guys : guitar, drums, standup bass, steel guitar), proved once again that he is a capable songwriter and musician.
		A lack of chemistry between band members (heck, Ness even entered and left the stage through a separate entrance!) was obvious, although it didn't mar the concert beyond keeping any on-stage intimacy at bay.

	Rolling Stone : Digging Up Roots With Mike Ness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		So Mike Ness can be forgiven for sounding a little out of it calling from his hotel room in San Francisco, especially considering he played just last night.
		Ness traces his passion for the country and early rock nuggets that make up the bulk of Under the Influences to a period in the mid-Eighties when he found himself disenchanted with the California punk rock scene that counted Social D as one of its own.
		But by and large, Ness describes his Social Distortion material as more consciously in the mold of "a teen anthem kind of thing," while his recent solo excursions have allowed him to be a "little more dimensional." And to his intense gratification, his fans seem to be catching on to the distinction.

	Mike Ness : Under the Influences - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		As lead singer and songwriter of punk mainstays Social Distortion for the past 21 years, Mike Ness always possessed an innate understanding of the connection between punk and country.
		With his second solo album release of 1999 (the first is an album of rockabilly influenced originals, Cheating at Solitaire), Under the Influences showcases Ness' love of roots music with a collection of tunes originally written by legends such as Hank Williams Sr., Marty Robbins, and Carl Perkins.
		But covers are all about interpretation, and what Ness lacks in vocal finesse he makes up for with feeling.

	In Music We Trust - Mike Ness: Under the Influences
		Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness is back at it again, showing fans his other side, primitive rock 'n' roll and tender ballads, a style which has influenced him throughout his twenty year career.
		A rock-a-billy stomp cruises over a country pulse as Ness rocks it up with his trademark punk rock voice and knack for creating slick rock with a gentle and hard side.
		Of course, Ness takes that kick and turns it into a lethal 1-2 combo, knocking out anyone in the way with a ferocious rhythm, slippery guitars, and an undeniable pulse running through Ness' classic, distinct tough guy voice.

		In which the Social Distortion frontman (and more recently, solo rockabilly/country/blues artist) takes his touring band into the studio to have a little fun covering songs by artists that influenced him as a songwriter.
		When listening to the record, it should become clear where Ness picked up his talent for painting evocative pictures with his lyrics - one of the most exciting elements of Under The Influences is its wonderful sense of storytelling.
		Ness' passionate yet gravelly voice beings new life to these classics, both familiar (Bobby Fuller's "I Fought the Law") and obscure (the Wayne Walker-penned "All I Can Do is Cry").

		Mike Ness is as iconic as Kurt Cobain, Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, and Johnny Cash.
		Formed in Fullerton, CA in 1979, when Ness was still a teenager, Social Distortion has survived drug problems, tragedies, and a changing musical climate.
		The music they're making today, 25 years after their inception, is every bit as classic as the angst-filled, blues-inspired, simple punk songs they wrote in the beginning of their career.

		Joining Ness for the spring run will be several of his session musician chums, including Sean Greaves on second guitar, Chris Lawrence on pedal steel, Johnny Rioux on bass, and Charlie Quintana on drums.
		In a recent interview with MTV News, Ness talked about how anxious he was to get the folk-based material on the road and described how the solo shows would be different from his concerts with Social Distortion.
		According to Ness' management, the singer-songwriter will tour the Midwest and West for the next month and is then scheduled to bring his road show to the East Coast in June.

		It is occasionally more interesting to watch a singer who not only is unable to hit all his notes but isn't even sure which ones he will hit than it is to watch a singer whose talent is solidly grounded.
		Such was the case with Ness as he toggled between the clenched-teeth growl he's become adept at with Social Distortion and the cleaner, naked voice that dominates Solitaire.
		The latter, as on Hank Williams's "You Win Again" and his own "Ballad of a Lonely Man," required Ness to dig deeper in his chest, unclench his molars, and pray for the best.

		Social Distortion leader Mike Ness is touring in support of his new solo album, "Cheating at Solitaire."
		For all the rebellion it espouses, Mike Ness realizes punk rock is perhaps the most restrictive kind of music out there.
		While the battle isn't over, the leader of one of punk's longest-lasting bands took the easier and less-confusing path when it came time to expand his musical agenda.

		Social Distortion was Mike’s garage band that would eventually put him on the world stage.
		After nearly twenty years, Ness found his voice turning to the plight of working class America, and Cheating At Solitaire’; gives him the platform to sell his goods.
		During his Philadelphia stop, Ness (and his smokin’ tour band) bulldozed through nearly the complete record set with a couple of Social D tracks added to spice up the night.

		In one sense, it seems a little strange that Mike Ness would choose to record a solo album since he always appeared to be the driving force behind Social Distortion.
		On the other hand, Social Distortion is a full-fledged rock band, which means they're a democracy -- and that might have gotten a little constricting after nearly 20 years in the same outfit.

		Produced by Ness and James Saez, the album showcases a defining genre of music for Ness - primitive rock 'n' roll.
		He has adapted tunes from many of the artists who have influenced him over his 20-year career and the full track list is made up of his take on songs from some of his longtime favorites.
		While on tour in support of his first solo effort, Cheating At Solitaire, Ness introduced some of these old tunes into his set list thus inspiring him to do the album.

	Aural Fixation - Mike Ness: Cheating at Solitaire
		Guitars show some of Mike Ness's roots, then this, his first solo record, shows all of them.
		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.
		It is an American roots record: a lot of country, some rockabilly and some blues, all sung with Mike's characteristic growl, and all performed with punk-like energy.

		In the opening seconds of this solo outing, former Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness peels off the line like a Chevy hotrod.
		A world-weary tough guy--equal parts Johnny Cash, Gene Vincent, and Johnny Rotten--Ness is a true homegrown talent, combining his trademark growl and wire-taut guitar playing with dramatic, captivating storytelling.
		Ness was an extremely decent singer/songwriter and this cowpunkbilly release was worth having a listen.

		Under the Influences is the second set of country covers from Ness this year, following Cheating at Solitaire, and it's just as infatuated with the bad-boy country mythos hatched by Hank Williams and embodied by Johnny Cash.
		With his scouring-pad vocals and real-life rap sheet, Ness is made for the part, but it's still only acting.
