Tim Armstrong and A Poet's Life

Tim Armstrong, the punk rock vet from Rancid and The Transplants is in the process of releasing his first solo album, A Poet's Life. I say he's in the process of releasing this album since one by one, each track is going to be made available as a free download as a gift to his long-time, loyal fans. Then, in February, Epitaph will put out a proper cd. The first song released from A Poet's Life was the old style reggae track, "Hold On," recorded with the help of The Aggrolites. The second track, "Wake Up," has a little more dub runnin in it, and shares the same easy rockin vibe as "Hold On." Man, there's just something about that rough and ragged voice of Tim Armstrong that sounds so right backed by a reggae beat.
