Me First and the Gimme Gimmes have been more active than ever in 2017! If the couple of rare b-sides on Rake It In didn’t slake your thirst for new Gimmes cover tunes, you’re in luck, as New Noise Magazine is giving you one more!
The Gimmes grace the flexi subscriber cover of the new issue, which contains an exclusive flexi-disc single with a never-before-heard Gimmes tune, called “For the Good Times.” Written by Kris Kristofferson, (as was this mega-hit for Johnny Cash) and popularized by Ray Price, this country classic was recorded Gimmes-style during the Love Their Country album sessions, but didn’t make it past the “rough mix” stage.
It still sounds great to us, though! If you don’t own a record player…um, why not?! Okay, okay…so, unlike us, you aren’t attached to spinning plastic discs for your musical enjoyment? Not to worry, just listen below.
ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES features Fat Mike (NOFX), Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), Dave Raun (Lagwagon), and the vocals of Spike Slawson.
