GG's Alt-Country Album

"This is my favorite GG Allin album, it's actually the only GG Allin album I still listen to and a must have album for a GG fan.



It's a shame it's so hard to find because even people I know who don't like GG like this album(specifically carmelita). If you wonder what GG's country music sounds like and aren't willing to shell out the cash just watch the documentary Hated to see him sing carmelita in a cheap hotel room (but that may just make you want this album even more because that is how I ended up buying this album). Lyrically this album is light years beyond the content of GG's other albums.



This album sounds nothing like a pop-country album. It sounds more like Johnny Cash or Shotgun Willie by Willie Nelson

Sample Lyrics:



livin on the streets

i aint got a dime

people look at me and say i'm livin on borrowed time

everthing i own

isn't worth a dime

spend all my time and money gettin high

i don't really care what people say and do

i live my life by my own set of rules

everything i do

i'm livin just to die

...

i'm livin by myself on the outskirts of life"
