Today we're going to bake a Jerry's Trout Pizza.  Of course, we're talking metaphors here.  We're talking about "bakin" a new sound from the fusion of two Bakersfield styles---that of Jerry's-Pizza-flavored punk and Trout's-flavored Kern County country rock in the Bakersfield Sound tradition.

Recipe for Jerry's Trout Pizza:

Here's what you'll need to make it happen (tell me if I've missed anything):

If you can imagine

a Jerry's Trout pizza

then you can imagine

the place I'd like to meet ya

somewhere between post-punk

and the Bakersfield Sound

somewhere between Three Chord Whore

and a Buck

is where I'm found

If you can imagine

a sound from yesterday

hooking up a fishin' pole

to post-punk band that plays

somewhere between Oildale

and downtown Bakersfield

somewhere between a cowboy hat

and a tongue ring made of steel

somewhere between a leash and a collar

and a HooteNOONee hollar

somewhere between self-destruction

and the bottom dollar

is the place I long to be

if you can imagine

a Jerry's trout pizza

anything can happen

later, out

'bin good to see ya
