Rock and Roll Tribe

A Global Army of Veteran Rockers

There are so many great songs about honesty or the lack of it and its affect on people so Ill get the ball rolling with this Aussie classic. Known in Australia simply as The Angels and In the USA as Angel City.

If you like that track, you'll probably dig pretty much everything they ever did.  Kind of tragic story though, as Jim Ellison (lead singer) committed suicide.  Track down a copy of their 1991 album International Pop Overthrow-- that one is bonafide Power Pop Classic.

A bloke who was very honest about his deceit in the dirt.

 

More pop than rock but still a good song. Would I lie to you?

'Slay the liar' by The Fumes. I liked seeing these guys live as I didnt have to fear for the safety of my spine. How does a twonpeice make sucha big noise?

 

Was a time when these guys were in my top three bands of all time. Im not sure they are not still so far off that.

Here is a good one for your list Shermo!

This one covers all three bases...and it so fine  (sorry for the lack of a better video) but Amy Speace is so fine...she makes up for it.

 

I hadnt heard this band or song before I stumbled across this today but it fits the bill.

A Chilli peppers classic. I read in the book Scar Tissue that this was about Sinead O'connor.

 

This song is off what has to be one of my favourite Steve Earle albums and a great song too. More deceit than lies.

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More

"My latest brush with "greatness" was being about 2 seats from Eddie Money on a small turboprop out of Waco, Texas, about four weeks ago   My friends came up with many great lines that I could have dropped, but my fave was "Hey…"
