about

“Ghost of Rock ‘N’ Roll” and “American Noise”manage to sonically merge the Jesus and Mary Chain, Depeche Mode, ‘Generation Terrorists’-era Manics and the odd dash of ‘50s rock n roll."- Americana UK review

"showcases his post-punk roots on numbers like "Song For Chuck Berry" and "Ghost of Rock N Roll," a heavily distorted killer track. -Performer Magazine

lyrics

WELL, YOU KNOW ALL THE THINGS I LIKE
AND YOU KNOW ALL THE WAYS I PRY
WELL SOME HAVE HEART AND SOME HAVE SOUL
SOME OTHERS HAVE NOTHING TO HOLD

OOH, BABY, BABY, THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO
I’M GONNA HAUNT YOU, I’M THE GHOST OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

IT MADE THE JUNIORS WANT TO SCREAM
MADE THE SENIORS SHAKE THEIR KNEES
AND YOU CAN ASK THE JAPANESE
CAUSE THEY STILL LOVE A TRICK THAT’S CHEAP

OOH, BABY, BABY, LET’S ROCKET TO THE SHOW
I’M GONNA HAUNT YOU, I’M THE GHOST OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

IMAGINE ALL THE THINGS I’VE SEEN
AND PICTURE PLACES I HAVE BEEN
NO TELLING WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
BUT YOU CAN TELL THE END IS CLOSE.....
AND WITH A STRING OF YOUR GUITAR
YOU CAN MELT THE PEOPLES HEARTS
AND WITH THE BEATING OF THE DRUM
YOU TURN THE HURT AND MAKE IT NUMB

OOH, BABY, BABY, THEY LINE UP WITH THEIR SOULS
I’M GONNA HAUNT YOU, I’M THE GHOST OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
