5.0 out of 5 stars How does he do it?, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Under the Influences (Audio CD)

I thought that a formidable follow up to Cheating at Solitaire would be difficult. This album surpasses my expectations and then some. Ness mixes all his influences here along with his own unmistakable style to create an album so full of pure emotion that the listener can't help but be inspired. This album is for anyone who has an appreciation for music. There's country, folk, punk, rock n'roll and pretty much anything else you'd want short of hip-hop. It's all here and it's all perfect. The most amazing thing about it is that it was done so quickly. Does this guy sleep? It seems that I just saw him performing last week and already he has another album on the shelves. Ness is a true musician who appreciates not only his influences but his fans as well. His dedication to himself and to us is unmistakable and unparalleled.

I am writing this reveiw for anybody who read Mr Roulette's reveiw and for him.like Mr Roulette when I first listened to this CD it didn't go back into my player for weeks.I thought Cheating at Solitaire was a great album,but I just couldn't adjust to this one.however when I gave it a second chance I realized just how good this album was.No its not as good as Solitaire,and its a far cry from Social D....and yes Ness' best work is when he writes the music.However he is very respectable on this CD,and to Mr Roulette and anybody else who prematurly judged this album,all I can say is give it another spin!

This is a good cd. Mike Ness gives his heart and soul to these old clasic songs. My favorite is his cover of Big Iron. I would first recomend Cheating at Salitaire. Cheating at Salitaire is the best CD I have heard in years. I love the concept of doing the songs that made the music we hear on the radio today. Overal this is a Good follow up to Mike Ness first solo CD.

P.S Dennis Danell we will miss you.
