OB, OB, OB, OB. I made my way to Ocean Beach last night, My mind made up on gettin’ real tight. There’s a hell of a lot to do, on Newport Avenue, Made my way to Ocean Beach last night. Down by the cliffs, that’s where the fun begins, Rollin’ a number, watching those waves roll in. I'm tippin’ back an ice-cold brew, diggin’ on that sunset view, Havin’ some fun in Ocean Beach last night. I hit South Beach bar & grill, I’m running up my bill. Lookin’ for a little more... Cheswick’s, Winston’s, the Pac Shores. That girlie took me by the hand, we got to rollin’ in the sand. Two of us wrapped real tight... Underneath the stars last night. OB, OB, OB, OB. I’m swingin’ and a-rockin,’ to the jukebox sound, Can’t stop baby, let’s paint this town. Upstairs across the street, on Sunshine Company balcony, Havin’ my fun in Ocean Beach last night. I Jumped in my ride, I'm headin’ back down the road, Mind still spinnin, 'bout the wild seeds I sowed. Can’t wait to do it all again, be back baby as soon as I can, Too much fun in Ocean Beach last night. Too much fun in Ocean Beach last night. Too much fun in Ocean Beach last night. Well, I’m havin’ too, much, fun, Down in Ocean, Beach last night.

Never go back, never too late, Never too late, never go back. When you go somewhere, you shouldn’t a-gone, Gotta leave that life behind, find some peace of mind, I’m pressin’ on. On stayin’ in the moment, while keeping you focus, Tomorrow is your future, find sense of humor, Can’t live in the past. Never go back, never too late, Never too late, never go back. Have no regrets, oh no, there’s no what if’s. Never go back, never too late. You better shape up, one life to live. Times not waiting for you, no, no, Times not waiting for you. Never go back, never too late, Never too late, never go back. The clock ticks fast, oh yeah, Live, love and laugh. Never go back, never too late. We’re nothing without our memories, Like scenes from a movie, tales gone groovy, In a diary. A spec of sand, soon ancient history, As the day is long, the struggle is on, Faith or misery. Never go back, never too late, Never too late, never go back, Never go back, never, go, back.

about

San Diego roots-rocker Jackslacks is back on the scene with a fine collection of original songs entitled “Earthling Sessions.” The full length, eleven track recording on indie label Shield Of Love, is both markedly imaginative and entertaining while remaining true to the distinctive and reverberating Jackslacks sound. The finely crafted, skillfully executed guitar driven melodies are filled with tight harmonies and a backbeat that just won’t quit, all affectionately uniting the listener to a specific time and space when rock ‘n roll music mattered most.
Some listeners portray the Americana sounds on Earthling Sessions as “pop-a-billy” which, if the term actually existed, might be explained as an approach to musical composition that honors American rockabilly, with a pop sensibility.
The framework for Jackslacks Earthling Sessions initially materialized through a combination of pure human emotion, honest self examination and scrupulous social observation. Add to that mix an acoustic guitar, tip-top local and national players, a chance meeting with renowned engineering ace Mike Kamoo at his Earthling Studios in East San Diego County and legitimate rocka-rocka would come to pass.
Over the following few years, this new project, and partnership was birthed and nurtured, yielding a noticeably more layered approach to Jackslacks studio recordings, all of which seamlessly show up on this latest wave of original music. The sessions were fun, yet meticulous; the muso’s talented but temperamental. Still, an enjoyable collaboration developed between any number of kindred souls resulting in an eclectic mix of old school rhythms laid down exclusively on and through vintage instruments, tube amplifiers and venerated recording gear.
