| | Ned Towns CD Ned Towns Discography of CDs
NED TOWNS“Every song tells a story . . . tells a story about life!”Take, for instance, “Bounty Hunter” the up tempo rap ballad, influenced by the Vegas rap sound, that proclaims in its refrain “ I’ll find your man! I’m worst than the mob! I’m the Bounty Hunter and I love my job!” The life of this song is a story in itself. Singer and song writer, Ned Towns, asked himself “What’s the most important positive message that I could present in a rap song?” Frustrated with all the shallow, one dimensional hate rap, Ned didn’t care to glorify, or indulge, songs about drugs, murder or who has the fastest car but wanted to capture a real issue - guys leaving - abandoning - their kids. That’s real life. He focused on the issue of fatherless children and thought about a guy, a hero to some - a nightmare to others, who finds the fathers. The world needed a bounty hunter to make these guys take responsibility for their kids. The lyrics came from the stories of fellow truckers, the sad eyed women left behind and his own observations of the affected kids. The song reflects his in depth knowledge of the highways and the many lost souls who, for whatever reason, left their babies. “Last seen in an eighteen wheeler, Daddy gotta run so we can eat and crocodile tears coming down - don’tcha know. All this happened five years ago. I’ll find your man! I’m worst than the mob! I’m the Bounty Hunter and I love my job!” Some of his songs crackle with wit and sarcasm. The lyrics of one of NED TOWNS’ most popular hits “How Can You Baby Sit A Man?” reflects a question asked, almost innocently, by a man who was told his lady couldn’t see him, “I saw you last night, the fella had you by the hand, you told me you were baby sitting. How can you baby sit a man?”In “She’s So Good to Me,” a man is singing how lucky he is to have a good woman while all his friends, who are going out and partying, tease him. “My friends run around - all over town, just like I used to. But I stand back and watch them doing all those things just like I used to. Call me weak, call me strong. - I don’t care what you say, leave me alone. I’m so lucky - can’t you see? The woman is good to me!” With the re-release of “How Can You Baby Sit a Man?” in overseas markets, the music world is re-discovering NED TOWNS. “You need to live life to see life’s lessons ...

Written by Noktorn on September 18th, 2007This is some ugly fucking music, even by my standards. This is another band that I would characterize as 'black industrial'; not Aborym or D�dheimsgard or whatever, but in the style of a band like Roadkill Sodomizer, where the heavy metal is eliminated, only leaving the music with both the essence of black metal and industrial in its wake. This is not music based off steady rivethead beats or staggered 32nd note riffing. It's not very musical at all. The most 'melodic' moments are like those at the beginning of 'Bleeding Beneath The Sky Of Falling Snow', where the morass of guitar distortion reveals something that is almost half of a normal riff. Masses of vocodered and pitch-shifted vocals flood the soundscape over a clicky and partially inaudible drum machine. Ultra-abrasive sound effects are dropped about almost randomly in only a partial sort of rhythmic context. It's noisy as hell most of the time, and when it's not, it's writhing and minimalistic in a very dark and bizarre way. And yes, maybe I'm simply into this kind of thing, but I like it a lot. It's pretty fucking sick for what it is, and the fact that most people will hate it just makes me like it more.Livercage doesn't really have a style of their own: they have an aesthetic and a general sound, and they plug songs into that format. That's why you get a track like 'Through The Sludge'; it's a drone track, but the crackling, shimmering guitar and quiet, echoing background vocals make it fit perfectly with the rest of the music. It's also one of the best tracks on here, even though it really IS just six minutes of guitar crackle, distant vocals, and some subtle keyboards. Then you have other things like the pure Roadkill Sodomizer style of 'Frozen In The Sky', with its cacophonous vocals and atonal 'solo' or whatever term you'd use for that sort of bizarre, midpaced lead. The most 'normal' style that the band possesses, though, is the sort of thing you hear on 'Searching For Your Body': fairly uptempo, ...

The Unfinished Bio"Some people went to church on Sundays... we went to Cal’s Corral. I used to sit there at the end of the stage and look up at those people and think "I'm going to do this someday" - Patty Booker Patty Booker wasn't born in the center of country music's universe. In fact, she missed it by almost 2,000 miles. Where she's been most of her life is in Southern California. Born in San Pedro to parents transplanted from Oklahoma. She spent rnuch of her childhood inundated with country music-West Coast style. At the age of six, Patty and her younger sister, Judy would occasionally go with their father to the Wilmington Union Hall and sing while he and other men searched job lists for employment. This was her first captive audience. She soon graduated to singing to the cows in the field next to their house. Even the bovine community seemed to enjoy the rich tones coming from her guitar and the honest expression of her voice. Soon came three children that Patty entertained while doing the laundry and cooking. Its no wonder that Loretta Lynn was a tremendous inspiration as Booker looked into the window of country music. Booker and her band The Hired Hands became hard-hitting champions of the honky tonk circuit in 1985. Heads began to turn and ears began to listen when Patty would dig into songs such as Loretta's "You ain't woman enough" or Tammy Wynette's "stand by your man." She sang them with as much heart and fervor. Her talent attracted some of the top musicians in L.A. and Orange County. She gave them an opportunity to play real country music. Patty's audience began to grow after recording her signature song, "Ninety Nine" written by Gary Brandin, on A Town South Of Bakersfield Vol.3. She began playing the L.A. country circuit and became a regular presence on Ronnie Mack's Barn Dance. Booker has shared billings with artists such as Lucinda ...
