Jesse “Boots Electric” Hughes dives into the world of his favorite
musicians and songs to create his first-ever covers album titled EODM Presents
Boots Electric Performing The Best Songs We Never Wrote. Kicking the album off
with electrifying renditions of KISS’s “God Of Thunder,” Guns N’
Roses’ “It’s So Easy” and AC/DC’s “High Voltage / It’s A Long
Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock N’ Roll”), he then jumps into covers of
Love & Rockets’ “So Alive” and The Ramones’ “Beat On The Brat.”
A special nod to the space cowboys, Boots takes on the Steve Miller Band’s
“Abracadabra” and further digs into the ‘80s with an incredible twist
on
George Michael’s “Careless Whisper.” The biggest surprise in this
collection is Boots coming out of leftfield with a cover of Mary J. Blige’s
“Family Affair” that simply put is kickass.
Keeping it in the family, Boots spreads his arms wide to give love to his
brother Joshua “Baby Duck” Homme and Josh’s wife Brody Dalle with
versions of Queens of the Stone Age’s “Long Slow Goodbye” and The
Distillers’ “The Hunger.” Bringing the album to an unwanted finish, Boots
delivers the Kenny Rogers & The First Edition’s epic psychedelic track
“Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)” [original is
also widely recognized from the cult
favorite film The Big Lebowski], Cat Stevens’s “Trouble” and David
Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream.”
