Under the Influences, Volume Two

I was wondering if Mike ever has laid down tracks for a volume 2. First off, I do want a new SD album, but would be interested in what he would do as a new solo album. What got me interested was that I was surfing the 'net and found some articles from back in 99 from Rolling Stone, and it mentioned him working on tracks that were not on Volume 1.

Songs he's working on include four Williams selections ("Lost Highway," "Mansion on the Hill," "House of Gold," "Six More Miles [To the Graveyard]"), two Rainwater songs ("Gamblin' Man [Roving Gambler]," "My Brand of Blues"), two George Jones songs ("World's Worst Loser," "Once a Day"), and additional selections by Cash ("I Walk the Line"), Buck Owens ("You're for Me"), the Carter Family ("Wildwood Flower") and Wanda Jackson ("Funnel of Love"), among other songs.

More solo albums are also on his wish list, both of the originals and covers variety (Under the Influences bears the subtitle "Volume One.") "My influences range from turn of the century European folk music to big band, Chicago blues, Delta blues, country and rockabilly up to the glitter years," he says. "It's very hard to get it all onto one record. I know that I want one record to be more black -- blues, R&B and I love doo-wop. And then there's the glitter stuff -- I want to do a Johnny Thunders song, or a David Bowie song."

I'd love to hear Mike Ness perform a cover of Jimmy Davis' "You Are My Sunshine". I think he could kik it up notch and defintely add some raw feeling to it. On the "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou" soindtrack I completely love Norman Blake's rendition of it, then again, no one has Mike's voice.

I'd love to hear Mike do a glitter rock album. [img]tongue.gif[/img] But he can skip pictures of him in tights or funny outfits with long hair on the album cover.
