Hughes has recorded and produced electrifying renditions of 13 songs he loves, joined by special guests for some tracks and flying solo for others. All but one song were recorded in California at Brunswick House of Dangerous Thoughts, Valentine Studios, and Rancho De La Luna. The album was mixed and engineered at Valentine Studios by Nic Jodoin (who also co-produced six of the album's tracks with Hughes).

Hughes blasts off with KISS' "God Of Thunder," Guns N' Roses' "It's So Easy," AC/DC's "High Voltage" / "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)," Love & Rockets' "So Alive," and the Ramones' "Beat on the Brat." He lets the fire get higher on Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" and delivers a breathtaking turn on George Michael's "Careless Whisper." Hughes' inspired cover of Mary J. Blige's "Family Affair" leads to two songs keeping it in the family: he gives love to his musical brother and EODM co-founder, Joshua "Baby Duck" Homme, and Josh's wife, Brody Dalle, with his versions of Queens of the Stone Age's "Long Slow Goodbye" and The Distillers' "The Hunger." Bringing the album home, Hughes salutes Kenny Rogers & The First Edition's "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)," Cat Stevens' "Trouble," and David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream," which Hughes recorded in Third Man Records' Record Booth in Nashville while on tour.

In June, EODM will be in Europe and the UK for several tour dates: https://eodmofficial.com/tour.

Formed in 1998 in Palm Desert, California by best friends Jesse Hughes and Joshua Homme, Eagles Of Death Metal (EODM) is not a death metal band. The story goes that a friend was introducing Homme to the death metal genre, and Homme wondered what a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. With that, EODM was born. The band released Peace Love Death Metal in 2004, followed by Death By Sexy in 2006, Heart On in 2008, and ZIPPER DOWN in 2015.
