A big bawdy beat sets off this tale of modern courtship between this reluctant man and this all-in female. The song is a tour de force from the heavy bass/harmonica riff, gigantic vocal stacks  of lead singer Bob Dannewitz to the haunting slide guitar work of guitarist Hank Rusch. It's that great song you want to hear over and over.

Desiree

She's Got My Number

A high powered rocker about singer Bob Dannewitz's weekend in the Pinal county jail. Big drums, a steady driving bass, great chorus, and guitarist Hank Rusch's searing solo resembles the sound of a prison yard siren warning of a break in progress.

Last but not least, Smokin Rock bares its soul for the world to see. Dannewitz belts out his story of hardship with unflinching honesty as Hank Rusch machine guns the universe with his Stratocaster. This song was written in 2018. It was a sort of autobiographical song  pertaining to singer Bob Dannewitz during a rough patch in his life.  At the that time lockdowns, riots, crime, war were non existent. We thought the song was not relatable so we shelved it.  What a difference a couple of years make!! Now all the mad prophet rantings are par for the course in this year 2024.  This the last of Smokin Rock's releases in the album Desiree, we present it for your listening.
