Django

On those long overnight drives on the bus, Rancid watches horror movies and spaghetti westerns like Django. There's that great scene in the first film where Franco Nero pulls the machine gun out of the coffin. Jimmy Cliff's character watches that same scene while at the movies in Harder They Come. This is our take on Rancid's song, originally on the 'Indestructible' album.

Please Give Me Something
iTunes//Amazon//Spotify
Bill Allen originally cut this track for Imperial Records back in the 50s, which was also home to Fats Domino and Ricky Nelson. Imperial mainly recorded R&B and country acts, and from time to time they put out a classic barn burner. Have ya ever noticed that for many situations there is a suitable line from a song..like "Please give me something.. so the love won't die..Just a little bit of something". Damn. Here's our rendition of a Bill Allen and The Backbeats rockabilly howler.

Husband and wife Boudleaux and Felice Bryant were among the first in Nashville to make a full-time career of songwriting. They wrote some of the most popular tunes of the 50s and 60s, and Many of the Everly Brothers' hits. The Bryant's had some 1500 songs recorded by over 400 artists. RESPECT! We peppered this rendition with a dangerous bunch of esteemed, down to earth country all star friends.

The Beatles hadn't yet landed on the shore to overtake the U.S, when this song came out. America in 1963 was still doin' their own thing..listening to Steve Lawrence, Paul & Paula, The Four Seasons, Chiffons, Bobby Vinton, The Singing Nun. JD Loudermilk was making a mark in Nashville as a songwriter for the Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash and Chet Atkins. He co-wrote this high-water mark of an American Country song with Bob Gibson for singer George Hamilton IV.

When It's Springtime in Alaska
iTunes//Amazon//Spotify
I heard that the Red Dog Saloon drinkin' establishment in Juneau is the oldest man-made tourist attraction in Alaska. The Red Dog was founded in Juneau's mining days. Shout outs to the 49th State, The Caribou Crawl and Kodiak Rugs. A #1 hit for the late great storyteller Johnny Horton on the Country & Western charts. We took a bonafide musical sled dog ride through frozen tundra on this one.
