Clearly Mi was influenced by the gi ¢ Tank Williams, Jonnny Cash, and others whose songs he covers on this CD. The use of the upright bass and peda! stee! set che tone. A slice of country, 7 mentary in rockabilly, blues and rock filtering through in one smooth package. A definite departure from his days with Social Distortion. — Sprout SALTEENS’ keyboard player Erin Jane at the Starfish Room. RICKY Martin and dancer share Garage stage with « '69 Mustang.
