My Bucket's Got A Hole In It

Hank Williams was born in Alabama, and when he was young he met a black street performer by the name of Rufus Payne, who taught Hank guitar. Rufus had a huge influence on Hank. A teenage Hank put together the Drifting Cowboys to play live on the radio. At 23, he met Nashville music publisher Fred Rose, and recorded the tune "Move It On Over", and the rest is history.
There have been many different lyrics used on this song over the years. Ricky Nelson has a rockin' version of this song, and he changed the lyric from "I can't buy no beer" to "I don't work no more". There's a great jazz version out there by Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis. The rhythm section are my bandmates in Rancid--Matt and Branden, and this is our take on it.

This is our second cover of a song by the greatest rock and roll band of all time. I would be as happy as a clam if all I did was play, sing, and record Ramones songs every day.

The George IV Hotel in Nottingham England has been around for 200 years, and they say that Charles Dickens stayed there -- And in the 1960s Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor also stayed at the hotel. Ryan, Matt,and I got together in room 102 in that beautiful old hotel, to do some pickin' and singin', and recorded the classic country song, written by Carl Butler-- "If Teardrops Were Pennies".

Cuz I Ain't Gone Yet

In the winter of 1986 I took a Greyhound bus from Oakland, Ca. to New York City, and my only luggage was my Fender acoustic guitar. I had been thinking about moving there. When I got to New York it was colder than I ever expected, and then I read that a punk club was opening up in my neighborhood in the East Bay--Gilman Street. So I returned for the opening show on New Year's Eve. The first verse of this song is inspired by that trip to New York. We brought in Becky Stark, a great musician in the scene, to perform on this one. The first time I met Becky Stark I went over to her house with a friend of mine. I brought my acoustic guitar over with me, as I often do, (the same guitar I took to NY in 1986), and immediately we started playing songs together.
