John Thomas Griffith (Red Rockers/Cowboy Mouth)

Noel catches up with John Thomas Griffith, the lead singer of Red Rockers. The punk band released their first album, Guns of Revolution, in 1979. They found mainstream success with their hit single, China, off of their Good as Gold album in 1983. They toured with the likes of The Clash, U2, Joan Jett, Men at Work and B-52s. After the band broke up, JTG released an amazing solo album, Son of an Engineer, in 1988. He then went on, alongside Fred Leblanc, to form Cowboy Mouth.  The New Orleans-based band had a big hit in 1992 with Jenny Says. Cowboy Mouth is still going strong today. Red Rockers released their first official live album, It's in Our Blood, earlier this year. The concert is available on Blu-ray, vinyl LP, and CD. Red Rockers are playing a reunion show on Nov. 14 at Tipitina's in their hometown of New Orleans.
