Title - 'Play That Rock n' Roll'
Artist - Supersuckers

For those not in the know, the brand new 13th studio album from the Supersuckers Play That Rock n' Roll is out now via Acetate Records.

The Supersuckers are an American rock band formed in November 1988 as The Black Supersuckers in Tucson, Arizona.

Following the relative success of their 1997 foray into country music with the release of Must've Been High, they have since gone on to play country shows under various names.

Tracked over the course of four sweltering days at Willie Nelson's Austin, TX studio, Play That Rock n' Roll rocks with an amphetamine intensity, delivering muscular riffs, big choruses and more than a few tricks up it's sleeve.

1. 'Ain’t Gonna Stop'
2. 'Gettin’ Into Each Other’s Pants'
3. 'Deceptive Expectations'
4. 'You Ain’t The Boss Of Me'
5. 'Bringin’ It Back'
6. 'Play That Rock ‘n’ Roll'
7. 'That’s A Thing?'
8. 'Last Time Again'
9. 'Die Alone'
10. 'Dead Jail Or Rock ‘n’ Roll'
11. [Hidden Track]

Right from the off, the rockin' punk vibe of 'Ain't Gonna Stop' opens your ears up to what to expect from the album, and boy, is it a catchy MF!

The tongue in cheek 'Gettin' Into Each Other's Pants' is backed seamlessly by both 'Deceptive Expectations,' the late night sing-along 'You Ain’t The Boss Of Me,' and then the frenetic 'Bringin' It Back.'

The brilliant rock-pop hipsway of the title track 'Play That Rock ‘n’ Roll' is another stand out highlight here and that's followed by more tongue in cheek sarcasm within the brilliant 'That’s A Thing?'

The drum-led 'Last Time Again' is then backed by much-in-the-same-vein 'Die Alone,' with a rousingly spirited cover of Michael Monroe's 'Dead, Jail or Rock n' Roll' and a "hidden track" (aka a long overdue revival of the Allen Toussaint penned 'A Certain Girl'), rounding things out perfectly.

Simply put, raw, immediate and often times hilarious, Play That Rock n' Roll is the album a band makes after slugging it out on the road for thirty years (barring a one year hiatus while Eddie battled throat cancer). Amazon CD Purchase Link
