For my latest "side-quest" at No Echo (many thanks to my editor and friend there, Carlos Ramirez,) I finally got to interview Dave Hause! Dave now, makes more Folk-Rock/Americana music, but has been a member of many Punk/Hardcore bands including Step Ahead, The Loved Ones, The Curse, Paint It Black, The All Brights, and The Falcon. Dave recently got his touring band, The Mermaid, together in the studio to record his long-sought after "Rock "n" Roll band" album, aptly-titled Dave Hause ...and The Mermaid!

Thanks for talking to me about it, Dave! Shout-out to Tito Belis, Alex Fang, and/or Mark Masefield for helping make this one happen!!! Go read our interview now at NO ECHO and pick up Dave Hause ...and The Mermaid on Blood Harmony Records (US) and SBÄM (EU/UK!) 😎😎😎😎😎🧷🎻🧜🏼‍♀️🦅

Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan had a long-storied working relationship and friendship. They collaborated and covered each other from the 1960's up through the 90's and today, I wrote about and featured Cash covering Dylan for 1994 compilation The Red Hot Organization + Country.

It was re-issued for the first time on vinyl for the album's 30th anniversary and showcases Johnny's version of "Forever Young." Enjoy it and read a retrospect on their relationship exclusively at The Witzard! 🤠⚫️🎻👢🤵🏻

It's a brooding bruiser, as one would expect from these two menacing musicians. Go check out the premiere exclusively at The Witzard and stream "Victim's Victim" wherever you listen to music!
