Eagles Of Death Metal’s Jesse “Boots Electric” Hughes is tipping his hat to 13 of his favourite songs with his first covers album, titled Eagles Of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing The Best Songs We Never Wrote. Set for worldwide release on June 7 by UMC, the album is available now for pre-order on CD and 180-gram black vinyl LP, and limited edition 180-gram red & blue marble swirl vinyl LP formats. Starting today, Hughes’ stunning turn on Mary J. Blige’s “Family Affair” is available for streaming and for immediate download with album pre-order.

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).
