    Under the Influences is the second album by the American musician Mike Ness, released in 1999.[3][4] It is a compilation of country, rock, and folk covers, issued the same year as his first solo effort, Cheating at Solitaire.[5][6]

    Critical reception

    [edit]

    AllMusic wrote: "With repeated listens, Ness' voice seems monotonous compared to the pure country croon of the original artists. But covers are all about interpretation, and what Ness lacks in vocal finesse he makes up for with feeling."[2]
