TRIPLE DIGIT OUTLAW PERFORMED BY SLIM CROWBAR & THE IOU'S 6-25-09

WHILE AWAY AT "CAMP", I WROTE SOME LYRICS AND SENT THEM TO MY GOOD FRIEND, SAN DIEGO MUSIC LEGEND JOEY HARRIS TO LOOK OVER, JUST TO LET ME KNOW WHAT HE THOUGHT.



BEING A WORLD CLASS SINGER/SONGWRITER, JOEY HARRIS HAS BEEN IN MORE THAN A FEW NATIONAL ACTS, MOST NOTABLY "THE PLEASURE BARONS" FEATURING MOJO NIXON, DAVE ALVIN (THE BLASTERS) , THE FARAGE BROS. (DFX2) AND COUNTRY DICK MONTANA. JOEY HARRIS ALSO FRONTED THE BEST BOOZE SOAKED LIVE ACT OF ITS TIME, SAN DIEGO'S PRIDE "THE BEAT FARMERS". DURING HIS RUN AS A "BEAT FARMER" THE BAND APPEARED ON LETTERMAN'S "THE LATE SHOW" , PERFORMING THE JOEY HARRIS HIT "HIDEAWAY". THE STUDIO VERSION OF THIS SAME TUNE CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOTION PICTURE "MAJOR LEAUGE".

BEING ONE OF THE FIRST LOCAL MUSICIANS FROM SAN DIEGO TO SIGN WITH A MAJOR LABEL, THE 80'S PUNK/POP OUTFIT "JOEY HARRIS AND THE SPEEDSTER'S" HAD A SELF TITLED L.P. ON M.C.A. AND HAD SOME SUCCESS. HE NOW FRONTS THE ROCK BAND "JOEY HARRIS AND THE MENTALS" THE BAND HAS JUST RELEASED A SELF TITLED CD AS OF 06-09. THE "MENTALS" ARE "MIGHTY JOE LONGA" ON KEYS, "JEF KMAK" ON FRETLESS BASS AND "JOSH "THE KID" MADER" ON SKINS.

JOEY USED SCOTTY"MAD DOG"BLINN, THE FRONT MAN OF "THE MISSISSIPPI MUD SHARKS" TO PRODUCE HIS "MENTALS" PROJECT. BLINN ALSO OWNS "GREASE PUNK RECORDING STUDIO" AND RECORD LABEL "DOUBLE BARREL RECORDS"

DURING THE "MENTALS" SESSIONS , JOEY AND SCOTTY BECAME GOOD FRIENDS AND DECIDED TO PUT TOGETHER A SIDE PROJECT ALONG WITH "MUD SHARK" DRUMMER TOM ESSA CALLED "SLIM CROWBAR & THE IOU'S"

ITS THIS 3 PIECE LINE-UP WITH HARP-MASTER BILLY WATSON SITTING IN ON THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE SONG I PENNED TITLED "TRIPLE DIGIT OUTLAW".

THE LAST THING JOEY HARRIS NEEDS IS ANY HELP COMING UP WITH SONGS, SO WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WOULD BE USEING A PIECE I WROTE, HONESTLY ITS STILL A LITTLE HARD TO BELIEVE. EVEN A YEAR AGO ,IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SAID JOEY HARRIS WOULD BE SINGING SOMETHING I WROTE, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY HAD LOST THEIR MIND...

"TRIPLE DIGIT OUTLAW" IS THE FINAL CUT ON THE ,"SLIM CROWBAR & THE IOU'S" 5 SONG EP TITLED "TOWTRUCK AMERICANA". JOEY HARRIS AND SCOTTY BLINN HAVE BOTH SPOKE OF RECORDING "TDO" ON THEIR BANDS NEXT PROJECTS..
