   About Ol' Yeller
In 1981 Rich Mattson wrote his first song. It was such a great time that he still does it today. In 2000 he started Ol' Yeller after dismantling the Glenrustles (Minneapolis, 1988-1999). Ol' Yeller plays at clubs and stranger places. They record and release their own albums. Their recordings are lush and pretty and soaking with buttery guitars. Live, they rock like there is no tomorrow. Ol' Yeller cd's are available online. Go to:CD Baby to get the latest album, GOOD LUCK. This is Ol' Yeller's 5th album. Our albums are also available on iTunes. Click HERE and download away. For the rest of the story, go HERE.
Dudes! Check it out--I figured out how to make a yellow profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM

"I heard you talking, you were saying how everyone in your whole scene was lame/
So pick a culprit, go and tell it to his face/
It's guess it's safe, it's safe, it's safe to say if you can't enjoy nothing you might as well go home/
Why don't you just kick back and let the music roll 'cause man, it's gonna roll all night."

Goddamn, that's the ticket. I'm interviewing for a job in Houghton, MI in a coupla weeks, and if I get the job and have my way, y'all be up there with frightening regularity.

Sorry if we kept you and Mary awake all Saturday morning. Rob kept saying, "OK, one more. We just did a Mammy's tune, now we have to do a Neil". I was on drums and it was too much fun to quit until I had to drive home at 7:30.
