MIKE NESS "DON'T THINK TWICE" . . . . DYLAN REDONE WITH CONVICTION AND PASSION BY A BLOKE WHO'S MUSIC HAS RESONATED WITH ME AND MILLIONS OTHERS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME . . . . FROM HIS FIRST OUTING MINUS S.D 'CHEATING AT SOLITAIRE', RELEASED NEARLY FIFTEEN YEARS AGO . . . . PLUNGING A BIG FAT INJECTION OF PUNKABILLY-COUNTRY STRAIGHT INTO THE MAIN VEIN . . . . FUCK POLITICS, LETS BLEED, PAIN IS UNIVERSAL.

A TIMELESS TALE OF BROKEN HEARTS, HITTING THE ROAD AND AN UNHEALTHY DOSE OF DENIAL, THE SHIT THAT GREAT TUNES ARE MADE OF . . . . HE'S BECOME KINDA LIKE THE KEEF RICHARDS OF PUNK.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S BILLY ZOOM ON GUITAR IN THIS CLIP, HE DID FEATURE ON THE ALBUM AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER PUNK LUMINARIES ALONG WITH SOME BLOKE BY THE NAME OF SPRINGSTEEN . . . .

    1. Same here mate and I concur wholeheartedly, it's honest, lets the nature of the song just be, instead of trying to reinvent the thing.

  2. Thanks for the tip, just bought the album, and some SD. It's been on repeat in the workshop, best thing I've heard for a while! Cheers!

    1. Pleasure's all mine Andy, you can see how much Ness loved the Clash.
