Soloist. Songwriter/singer. ASCAP member. A NICE WITNESS FOR CHRIST There is an extensive interview of me done by Scott Crawford, at . Do not let the site name alarm you. It is an "adult-themed music and entertainment" site. It is not a porn site, and you will not get tagged for spam if you go there. Scott is a journalist of integrity, who asked pertinent and penetrating questions, then printed my answers verbatim. Both God and His son received much attention in the interview. REVIEWS: "Fancy keyboard playing is the backdrop for this positive and upbeat collection. Hackley's vocals are reminiscent of Burl Ives." Review by Brent Castillo, The Wichita Eagle, March 5, 2005. "world's wimpiest Christian rocker". Brother Russell Podcast; : INFLUENCES (a very lengthy list, ending with...) "and of course, Richard Hackley." "Yet the songs on the Worst of the Worst can be compelling in their awfulness. Songs like Richard Hackley's rabble-rousing, hackles-raising spiritual God's Backhand ("We're not talking about tennis or Ping-Pong!") "; "Richard Hackley... HUGE musical influence. And a real bad mofo live.";

Story behind the song
In Psalms (KJV), there are over a dozen references to the Lord being a shield for His people. This song draws on that, plus the frequently heard command from the captain of the Enterprise, "Shields up!"
Lyrics
copyright 1993 by Richard Hackley (v.1) Dont you go a shakin through another day. God knows how to keep you safe all along the way. Dont you trust in man. You can really put yourself in Gods hands. Any kind of danger tries to come your way Thats when youll hear God say... (chorus) Shields up! Dont fear. Shields up! 'Cause Im near. Shields up! And when Shields up! you hear Shields down! well, move on. The danger, its gone. (v.2) Talk about the only kind of safety net. Walking with the Lord is just as safe as you get. Dont you trust in man. You can really put yourself in Gods hands. Any kind of danger tries to come your way Thats when youll hear God say... (chorus) (instrumental) (chorus)
