\u201cMike Ness had done some time in prison. After he got out, he made a record called Prison Bound that was really good. Nobody was really that interested in him or the band. I met with him and thought he was great \u2013 the real deal. He was into Hank Williams and all the solid stuff, so we hit it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recorded them, and again, my idea was to just capture them as they were and not do a lot of production. Pretty much everything was cut live in the studio. We did some percussion overdubs, some tambourine and a few backgrounds, but not too many.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all worked, and the record did really well. To this day, it\u2019s doing well. I\u2019ve done a lot of records that were supposed to be huge, and they did just OK. Nobody expected anything of Social Distortion at all, and they got a ton of radio play and racked up sales. To me, they\u2019re the kind of band that should be on the radio.\u201d<\/p>\n
