It was self-funded, but then his career would take a long 5 year hiatus as he became homeless, sleeping on friends' couches while Struggling with addiction, and was even in and out of jail… He took these real-life born-to-lose experiences and released a classic album with three huge singles that took him from Homeless to Hit status with 2 straight gold records. Story of My Life and Ball and Chain and then a punk cover of Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. He’s since become the heir to the Man in Black by way of punk and rockabilly.

I’ve always wanted to interview today’s artist. I discovered him through the Columbia House 12 albums for a penny deal I Signed up back in the day under about 8 different aliases in order to build my music collection. That’s what we did before Spotify This band, this frontman spoke to me with his rockabilly meets punk attitude and his Johnny Cash by the way of Rolling Stones style that shook up mainstream radio as the 80s were turning into the 90s
I’m talking about Mike Ness of Social Distortion and his third self-titled album with the amazing songs Story of My Life, Ball and Chain, and his cover of Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. This album was a true revelation with fits our show revelations where artists go deep on their great songs and albums. I was able to sit down with the man himself Mike Ness and he told me the story of this great record and the songs that made it one of the best albums of its time.
Mike Ness started Social Distortion after being blown away by Punk music and his first album was self-funded came out in 1983. It was called Mommy’s little monster and it had bite. But Mike Ness would encounter some rough times as he found himself homeless, sleeping on friend’s couches and he would spiral into addiction and would have his troubles with the law in and out of jail. He was able to kick his habit and a full 5 years later he put out his second record.
Prison bound then he got his first real record deal and released his first album that he didn’t have to fun himself. The self-titled Social Distortion record took him to the masses on the strength of the Story of My Life and Ball and Chain and he had a gold record… his next album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell was his seance straight gold album and included the classic song Bad Luck. Up next Mike Ness the Prophet of Rockabilly Punk and the heir to Johnny Cash’s Born to Lose crown tells us his story.
