Rocker has been putting out solo albums since 1994. For his fifth studio release, the former Stray Cat has gathered nine originals (including a bluesy remake of his post-Stray Cats band Phantom, Rocker and Slick’s “Runnin’ From the Hounds”) and three covers (Quentin Jones‘ “The Girl From Hell,” Carl Perkins’ “Say When” and the Stray Cats’ biggest hit, Brian Setzer’s “Rock This Town”).
