Live set recording is an underrated art. It's about capturing the feel of the room as much as it is about showcasing a band's live prowess. Thankfully, punk godfathers Social Distortion appear to realise this and have nailed it with their live acoustic recordings. The band are known for their signature sound of punk, bluesy rock n' roll and outlaw country and the acoustic versions give the band a chance to highlight their versatility, ramp up the country/folk side and gives singer Mike Ness the spotlight. Swapping out the thrashy power chords for something janglier and jollier, their Johnny Cash cover 'Ring Of Fire' is pure joy. 'Cold Feelings' features a terrific counter melody from the accordion and the overall atmosphere of the song makes it easy to feel transported to a ye olde tavern somewhere in Ireland, sat around a table with a roaring fire, with the wind blowing outside. Elsewhere, 'Down Here With The Rest Of Us' is Social Distortion at their emotionally charged best. Remarkable here is the restraint shown by a band who usually just let rip. You'd be forgiven for thinking they weren't full-time into this acoustic thing.
