Dave Grohl, Chrissie Hynde, Duff McKagan and Nancy Wilson are among those who appear on the record.
Hawkins describes the album’s sound as “schizophrenic,” because it winds through various states of rock’n’roll, including prog and glam, with homages to classic rock and everything in between. “I Really Blew It” is about how a man should always be the one to apologize in a relationship; “Kiss the Ring” is about “trying to get a piece from the missus,” as Hawkins jokingly puts it; and “You’re No Good at Life No More” is a line that came straight from an argument Hawkins had with his wife one day.
While none of the songs were written with any particular guest star in mind -- except for “I Really Blew It,” which features Grohl’s signature “howl” -- Hawkins lined up an all-star cast. In addition to the aforementioned musicians, there’s also Nancy Wilson, Perry Farrell, Roger Taylor, Joe Walsh, Jon Davison, Mark King and fellow Foo Pat Smear. Hawkins particularly sought out “the ladies” to duet with.
And in that sense, he’s following directly in the footsteps of Grohl, who first achieved fame as the drummer for Nirvana before stepping out from behind the kit to front the Foos. But despite all of his side projects, Hawkins knows which side of his bread is buttered, although he didn’t see it as a slam-dunk when he first joined the band in 1997.
