Country artist Rick Monroe released his take on Motörhead’s “Ace Of Spades”

The song is available for stream or download here:   https://thermalent.com/rick-monroe-ace-of-spades.    

Rick on the song “We didn’t take covering the iconic Motörhead song Ace of Spades lightly. With the help of producer Mike Puwal (Insane Clown Posse, Zug Island) & Zack Stewart (Josh Thompson, Jerrod Niemann) on drums I feel like we found that perfect blend of country & metal. With everyone in modern country rushing to a more pop sound we decided to go the other direction. I called it “Hillbilly Metal” Lemmy saw us do it live once, thought it was pretty awesome & gave it his stamp of Royal approval. I hope Motörhead fans dig that we are trying to turn a difference genre in to the awesomeness that is Lemmy Kilmister & Motörhead. “Cause that’s the way I like it baby…”

He added “We aren’t moving away from the “Smoke Out the Window” sound we’re just trying to kick up a little musical dust. We did our best to keep the track as live and raw as possible.”
