Best hanoi rocks songs update#
I tried to update them a little bit, but at the same time without the songs losing their identity. I've rearranged them all and made a few changes and stuff. That's always been the interesting thing about you, you can take someone else's song but make it sound like it's your own. Songs like "Shot Full of Love", "China Girl" and "I Can Feel The Fire" sound like they were written for you. So it was good and healthy to go back to the studio. It wasn't much fun, let's put it that way. Everything was closed and I was stuck in my place. Unless there's another downtime where you can't do anything. (laughs) But probably not in the foreseeable future. So is it possible we'll see Jukebox Junkie part 2?Īnything's possible. Like you said, there were 60 songs to choose from. David Bowie once gave me the advice, "If you ever have downtime, make a cover album." Well, and then that corona thing was going on and I was so bored. I listen to all kinds of music and I suppose that's the main reason why the album is so colourful. They're songs that I think should be really big and deserve more attention. Some of them we recorded, but they didn't come out because they just didn't fit on one record. I originally had an enormous list of about sixty songs. It was really hard to pick songs out for one album. It's songs from my youth, written in different eras. I would say it's very much an educational album. I think it's also a very colourful selection, the listener will find reggae, rock, punk, and country on the record. It's different from similar compilations released by other artists, and not just because you've chosen interesting, unusual songs. You've got a new album out called Jukebox Junkie.
