Jim Jones All Stars don’t make polite records. ‘Cat Fight’ is out now via Silver Arrow Records, and it arrives exactly as advertised, twelve tracks of claws-out, feral rock and roll that sounds like it was recorded in a room that didn’t have enough exits. Produced by Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, this is the band operating at full, glorious intensity. Listen here.
The album pulls from a rich and rowdy lineage. Little Richard’s primal energy, the straight-up fury of MC5 and The Stooges, Stones-y leather-clad grooves, and Bond-theme brass all collide across these twelve tracks with complete conviction. “Make It Rain” opens the set like a detonation. “Born 2 Ride” mows down John Barry sophistication with a Steppenwolf biker boot. “Cat Fight,” the title track, struts like Tom Jones getting loud with Booker T & The MG’s.
The guest list is equally serious. Chris Robinson contributes vocals, Chuck Prophet adds guitar, and Gloria Jones brings her own iconic presence to the record. Robinson’s wife Camille designed the artwork. Recorded at Bakerland Studios in Leeds and West Eleven Studios in London, the album was mixed by Jim Jones himself and mastered by Nick Page at Forking Paths Mastering in Los Angeles.
Classic Rock called their previous work “filthier than a mechanic’s rag, sleazier than a Soho spiv.” Rolling Stone compared the band to “the blow of a hammer on the fingers.” ‘Cat Fight’ gives both publications even more to work with. This is the kind of rock and roll record that doesn’t ask permission and doesn’t need to.
‘Cat Fight’ is out now on CD, limited edition red vinyl, and digital download via Silver Arrow Records. The band hits the road with remaining UK dates this spring and summer.
