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
Mostly we should talk to God and to His son, Jesus. Sometimes, though you have to talk to the Devil, to get him to back off. It's something Jesus did at what we call 'the temptations'.
Lyrics
(v.1) Keeping our healing requires some constant watchfulness. Wherever we turn there's always something pushing more sickness. We hear about frightening diseases, Or how we've got to catch cold when somebody sneezes. If you find your mind entertaining such a fear It’s never from God, so toss it out of here . The Devil is behind it so look him in the eye And say, “Here's the outcome of anything you try, (c.1) "You're not even close, not even close. "You missed me by a mile. God is my security. "You and you’re host. You're not even close. "You’ve got to get through God before you get to me." (v.2) The Lord has promised to prosper us in all we do. Blessings, abundance. These are part of God's desire for you. Hang onto what God said. It's true. It’s how you're gonna beat the world‘s opposing view. If you find your mind thinking of lack It's never from God, so stop it in it's track. The Devil is behind it so look him in the eye And say, “Here's the outcome of anything you try, (c.2) "You're not even close, not even close. "Get out of my sight. You’ve got no authority. "You and you’re host. You're not even close. "You’ve got to get through God before you get to me. (coda) "The Lord stands between us...and He has my full trust. "You and your host. You're not even close. "You’ve got to get through God before you get to me."
