Other Side 03:58
See you on the other side, See you on the other side, See you on the other side, He faded on out, he faded on out, See you on the other side. He first hailed from New York City, The part of Queens called Astoria, A Saint Joe's Kid and a greaser too, Dollar Bill ran the neighborhood. See you on the other side, See you on the other side, See you on the other side, He faded on out, he faded on out, See you on the other side. Billy was bright like the sun was rising, From above his light keeps shining. In the ways of Italian players, A natural style for all his days. See you on the other side, See you on the other side, See you on the other side, He faded on out, he faded on out, See you on the other side. Poppy once said to give is receiving, If you take, well that’s deceiving. Family helps to guide you’re way, So keep the faith each and every day. See you on the other side, See you on the other side, See you on the other side He faded on out, he faded on out, See you on the other side. See you on the other side

Here comes sweet young thing, jumpin nine to five, Baby doll’s got swagger, she’s right on time. Suede shoes for dancing, darlin' blew my mind. Baby come home with me, baby, come home with me, Linda Lou, you’re a star, jumped right in to my car, Baby come home with me, baby, come home with me. Shined better judgement, for wanting you, One night for romance, sweet thing you’ll do. Back seats for rocking, she’s keeps good time too. Baby come home with me, baby, come home with me. Got my cat clothes on, a teddy boy, I’m really gone, gone, gone, Baby come home, baby, come home with me. Will you remember, that night on our first date, Parking in my Chevy and staying out too late, Look a here, Stay Cats on the radio, Baby, come home, with me... Kitten purred real nicely, yeah, all night long, Crazy little mama, sings my new song, Gotta lotta, lotta, lovin, she’s gone, long gone. Baby come home with me, baby come home with me, Red hot and good to go, might just steal the show, Baby, come home, baby, come home, with me.

about

Spring is here! Which means another genre-bending EP from San Diego rockabilly mainstay, Jackslacks.
“Other Side”, Jackslacks seventh solo release on the indie label Shield of Love, may be his most personal music yet: an homage to his father, who passed away last year.
As per usual, Jackslacks sings and drums on the self-composed track, but apropos of the subject matter, his family lends a hand: first of all, a reunion of sorts, as brother Bill, frontman for Detroit’s Nobody’s Business contributes his signature guitar licks. But it doesn’t end there; we have the next generation present and accounted for too, as nephew Billy sings back-up, and Jackslacks’ daughter, Taylor, lends her violin virtuosity – perhaps the song’s most singular element.
And therein lies Jackslacks’ knack for pushing the boundaries of rockabilly music, as he did last year with his EP “Generations Hypnotized”. In this case, we have the genre’s textbook vocals and instrumentation, but then there’s Taylor Giorgio’s violin work: see, we’re not talking country fiddling here, which would have been the obvious move; no, she gives the track a genuine dose of Parisian gypsy mojo. Remarkably, it works. And quite well.
With “Come Home With Me”, we slide back around to straight rockabilly: Jackslacks again on vocals and drums, but this time around, he’s flanked by guitarist Mark Fahl and upright bassist Bill Grubbs, both from new live project Flipside Burners. And then for good measure, Dave Roof and Chris Cote lend their talents on piano and acoustic guitar respectively. All in all, an up-beat, textural, late ‘50s rocker.
