Today's song of the day is like a whisky on the rocks: simultaneously cool and smoldering, smooth and smoky.
Mother, by Danzig, was released on the band's self-titled debut album in 1988.
It's a perfect song for the long, hot dog days of summer. (Although dogs don't actually enjoy the heat, so please don't leave them locked in a parked car or other unventilated place).
