You know him as the raucous frontman for Jackyl, but Jesse James Dupree is stepping out solo for his latest effort and Loudwire Nights wants to make sure you’ve got your hands on his Breathing Fire solo debut album. In fact, we’ve got quite the Jesse James Dupree package surrounding the album that we’re making the latest offering from the Loudwire Record Club.
Breathing Fire features the single “Never Gets Old,” a song co-written with longtime friend Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame. “Brian Johnson of AC/DC is ROCK! I camped out for two nights to get Back in Black concert tickets in 1980, and to be writing songs with him is a trip,” says the singer.
He adds of the new record, “This album is a convenient accident as I had no intention of recording one. It came about when I was listening to some old AC/DC records, and it reminded me how important rock ‘n roll is to me. The ideas started coming, and at the same time my son Nigel walked through the door from Nashville. The next thing I knew Roman was there, and we were laying the tracks down. I had not spoken to Brian Johnson for about six months because he was preoccupied with his book tour. Coincidentally, he dialed me in the days after we had been recording.”
He calls it “some of the strongest songs I’ve ever been a part of,” adding, “How cool is it to play with your son, your best friend (in Roman), and to write songs with Brian Johnson? Life doesn’t get better than that.”
Jesse James Dupree dug a little deeper into that new album with Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong recently and you can catch the full chat below.
