With songs like Mainline, Love Hate Again, Live Nude Girls, Junkman, Scarred And Barred, and Bury Me With My Boots On, there is a thematic similarity to the best of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, but the music is blues based Rock with thrash influences. The song Drug Killing is ten times anything anything of the "gangsta" rappers have done on the subject; a very powerful piece of music.
Available on Amazon.
