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. The album is available on strictly limited 2CD and 2LP vinyl gatefold sets.
"It was such a complete pleasure and honor to be able to work with Shooter Jennings and his stellar band for the recording of the songs that became the TENDERNESS record. Having Aubrey and John playing fiddle and pedal steel guitar on the tracks, really led the music in a brand new direction for me. I strive for change and growth in life, and these guys ushered me into a brand new musical world. This relationship was made more special, when Shooter and the band agreed to tour TENDERNESS with me. Remember;Ted Kemp, Jamie Douglas, Aubrey Richmond, John Scheffler, and Shooter had been touring for years together. They are a tight-as-hell unit. I won the lottery!
This live recording from the El Rey in Los Angeles showcases not only the songs on the record, but some cover songs we started to fold into the live set as we toured. We’ve highlighted a couple tracks from this show-TENDERNESS being one of course, and our version of the MAD SEASON song RIVER OF DECEIT. Such a beautiful song written by guys from back home that I know now, and a couple who are no longer with us. It feels like a celebration to me. All of these live shows we did on that tour felt like a shedding, a prayer to better things, and a beautiful coming together of all you badmotherfuckers.
