DUFF McKAGAN – Tenderness; Live in Los Angeles (2024)
On May 31st, 2024, DUFF McKAGAN celebrates the 5 year anniversary of his album ‘Tenderness’ with a double live album recorded in Los Angeles on June 13, 2019, and mixed by the album’s original producer Shooter Jennings in 2024. The album is an intimate and personal journey through Duff’s own songs as well as some covers, like the stupendous ‘River Of Deceit’, a classic from the band Mad Season, and Guns N’ Roses fan favorites as ‘You Ain’t The First’, ‘Dust N’ Bones’ and ‘Dead Horse’.
Recorded at LA historic El Rey Theatre just days following ‘Tenderness’ May 2019 release, “Tenderness Live From Los Angeles” sees McKagan taking an intimate journey through his own canon of songs along with a few deeply personal cover versions, backed by three-time Grammy Award-winning “Tenderness” producer Shooter Jennings and his band. They have been playing together for years so this recording sounds tight-as-hell.
Newly mixed in the legendary Sunset Sound Studio 3 (a.k.a. Snake Mountain) by Jennings using the famed custom API console on which Prince recorded and mixed “Purple Rain” – “Tenderness Live From Los Angeles” is further highlighted by powerful takes on The Clash’s classic “Clampdown” and Guns N’ Roses early 90s songs.
But at its heart, the set casts a spotlight on McKagan’s own striking songcraft, with live versions of tracks originally featured on “Tenderness”, including the volatile rocker “Chip Away”, which earned extraordinary praise from the maestro himself Bob Dylan, who recently declared the song a personal favorite.
