Congratulations are certainly in order as Jackyl commemorates the 25th anniversary of the release of their self-titled debut album on Geffen Records; and the band is still going strong – talk about a tremendous achievement! “You know, it is. We’re very proud! The rest of this year is going to be really good, out touring and celebrating,” says frontman Jesse James Dupree. Aptly titled 25, Jackyl has issued a new career-spanning CD / digital download of 18 songs, featuring two previously unreleased tracks. “It’s a good collection. We’re excited about getting the word out that Jackyl has survived 25 years. There’s so many bands that have fallen by the wayside… we can’t get enough of each other.” Delving into the two previously unreleased tracks on 25, the very last song is a cover of the Black Oak Arkansas tune “Hot And Nasty”, which originally appeared on their self-titled debut album in 1971. “Everybody compared us to ‘em, they said ‘AC/DC meets Black Oak’. So, we went and checked out Black Oak to see what they were talking about, and we fell in love with that song. We cut that track 20 years ago, and we never released it! It’s been sitting in the vault for that long.” It’s the original lineup with Thomas Bettini on bass? “It was, but to be honest with you, we re-cut it. Roman (Glick) laid his bass parts down on it; then we finished it out with the mix. It was just basic tracks, now it’s a collection of everything; it naturally just worked.” So, your vocals were done 20 years ago? “Yeah, some of them. When we got in and were mixing stuff, there’s a couple things I redid. But you can tell, I didn’t sit there and over-hash it; I just changed a couple of the words around. Going back and listening to it 20 years later, I just wanted to sing it a different way.” Preceding “Hot And Nasty” is a never-before-heard live version of “Redneck Punk”. “That was recorded in Sturgis (South Dakota) at The Full Throttle Saloon on the 75th Anniversary (in 2015).” The first greatest hits album from Jackyl – Choice Cuts – released in 1998 by Geffen Records, also featured a previously unreleased live version of “Redneck Punk” (recorded in Portland, Oregon in 1993). “We’ve been ending the show with that song for so long, it’s just a perfect song as far as the energy; we get excited about hearing live versions of that song.” While Jesse, “wouldn’t necessarily call it a greatest hits, as much as I’d call it a celebration of the 25 years,” there is one glaring omission on 25 - that being “Locked And Loaded” from Cut The Crap, which featured Brian Johnson from AC/DC on vocals. “Well, obviously there’s another record company involved, and with all the stuff going on with AC/DC, they locked down. They weren’t approving any usage of his performances; rightfully so. We also didn’t put the track with Darryl from Run DMC (the cover of ‘It’s Tricky’ from Best In Show) on there either. We thought about it, but we’ll save those for another day.” That being said, Darryl can be heard on the cover of “Just Like A Negro”, originally done by Mother’s Finest, and reworked by Jackyl for their 2010 album, When Moonshine And Dynamite Collide. “Yeah, but he only does 16 bars on that; he didn’t sing it all the way through. That was just a short little thing.” The first Jackyl album is the most heavily represented on 25 with five songs, including the live version of “Redneck Punk”. Is that still the pinnacle of the Jackyl catalogue? “That album… everybody always talks about band’s first albums versus all the rest of them. We had several years to write that first album, and then every album after that, you’ve just got two or three. That first album was a collection of songs that I’d been writing for many years; almost eight years worth of writing. Having the ability to pick out of so many songs to put that thing together. It’s one of those albums… I’m going to say it but I don’t want to, because it sounds pompous as hell. That’s one of those albums that you can put on and from beginning to end – some albums you get and you just go to certain songs. But that first Jackyl album, you can seriously put it on and track to track to track, everything’s got its place. So much aligned on that record for us; we got very blessed with the right collection of songs that just happened to strike a niche with everybody. That album’s a kick in the crotch. There’s a lot of energy to it and it sounds great. So, to answer your question, yeah, first albums are special.” Back in the ‘90s, it would have been commonplace for a band celebrating their 25th anniversary to release a multi-disc box set. Now, it seems that the only box sets coming out are retrospective cash-grabs from iconic bands such as The Who and The Beatles. Do you miss the old days in that aspect? “Everybody that ever experienced the record industry the way it used to be, misses it. We can sit around and cry about it, but it’s a different day and different time. You just adapt and move on… you can find us on iTunes and Amazon.” Looking back over the last 25 years, knowing what you do now, would you have done anything differently? “I don’t know if I would have changed anything? We’ve been so blessed with a rich career and a lot of great stuff. To any of the naysayers and detractors of Jackyl’s celebration of the fundamentals of rock ‘n roll… the people that don’t get it, are generally the people that have a hard time admitting they masturbate. Jackyl are a bunch of road dogs, and they’ve just signed a new deal with Nashville based tour promoters APA. “We were with the other agency for 25 years, it was just time for a change. Sometimes a fresh perspective on things is good. Dennis Arfa over at Artist Group was a first-class gentleman and I really enjoyed my time with him over the years, but it was just time to move on. Steve Lassiter at APA – he’s a brother of mine. He rides Harleys, we’ve spent a lot of time together; I just felt like he was more in tune with where we are right now as a band. So, he’s booking the band.” Speaking of booking, Jackyl has concerts scheduled up until December 1st in Flint, MI at The Machine Shop. Will you then break for Christmas, and resume touring in 2018? “We do have a couple offers for New Year’s, but I don’t know yet? We’ll figure that out.” Jackyl tends to primarily play The United States, with the occasional sojourn into Canada. How about the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia? “You know, we’ve been to Europe many times, but with all the things we have going on over here; we do all the festivals in the summer. Then I’ve got Sturgis; I’m standing on the grounds of the Full Throttle Saloon and the Pappy Hoel Campground right now. We’ve got thousands of people showing up as I’m speaking to you. They’re pulling in and checking in to party their ass off at the Full Throttle! We’ve got: hot air balloons, helicopter rides, a swimming pool, Johnny Cash impersonators, Elvis impersonators. We’ve got a firing range where you can shoot fifty-calibre machine guns, a dirt track with racing. The Full Throttle Saloon sits on 15 acres; it’s the largest stage in South Dakota. We’ve got vendors, 300 cabins, 1000 RV hookups; this place is off the chart!” To come back after that devastating fire in 2015 which burned the place to the ground, that in itself is remarkable. “It was devastating, but we’re trying to turn a negative into a positive, and here we are.” Will you be filming or recording Jackyl’s performance at The Full Throttle in Sturgis on August 10th? “We generally record all the audio, I don’t know if we’ll do any video.” The last Jackyl studio album, Rowyco, came out in 2016. Have you started writing for a follow-up? “I’m always writing. With Sturgis, and then I’m producing a five-day festival for Harley Davidson in Milwaukee on Labour Day, then all these Jackyl tour dates; it’ll be 2018 before we get back in the studio.” But you still believe in the album format? Some of your peers have said that singles are the way to go. “I’ve got people who follow us that are still mad cause we’re not putting out cassettes.” Jackyl - jackyl album itunes aac download. 25 Years of Jackyl. 25 YEARS OF ROCKING OUT WITH THEIR “CHAINSAW’S” OUT! 16 tracks from their entire career plus two previously unreleased songs.

One could argue that the all encompassing virtues of “c*ck” rock were mastered by AC/DC. Regardless of how hard Airbourne tries to duplicate the simplistic, riff powered groove of their old school idols, with a few exceptions, they sorely miss the necessary components of competent hard- rock focused songwriting and the ever essential bag of sleaze. In order to effectively replicate the chest-beating snarl of the Australian pioneers, a hard rock act must effectively meld the traditional weaponry of standout riffs, hooks, and catchy choruses with a genuine, unadulterated swagger. In the world of c*ck rock, with apologies to novelty acts like Nashville Pussy, the co-mingling of these essential concepts has not been noticeably achieved in the last twenty years, unless your name is Jackyl. Jackyl’s self titled 1992 debut is best described as AC/DC in their prime with a bigger set of huevos. After surviving the onslaught of power riffs, gang vocals, thundering grooves, and lyrics that make Buckcherry’s “Crazy Bitch” sound like something out of a children’s book, one could make the argument that Jackyl’s debut is the best AC/DC album since “The Razor’s Edge,” possibly even “Back in Black.” The traditional hard rock elements are in place, but Jackyl does not suffer from the quintessential c*ck rock folly, namely an album with one or two standouts surrounded by a legion of filler. The record is powered throughout by a catchiness that saturated AC/DC’s earliest and finest albums. The differentiating factor with Jackyl is their ability to crank the sleaze factor to its maximum without becoming a strict novelty act. AC/DC may not land on your mother’s wholesome list, but they also never stamped records with lines like “to get to my c*ck she would walk through the flames of hell,” “I love the thought of you coming down on me,” and “she’s got a dirty little mind and she likes it from behind.” As Jackyl navigates the road to unadulterated sleaze town, the listener cannot help but pump their fists for the ride. Campy platitudes abound, and while filthy tracks like “She Loves My C*ck” (one of the best hard rock songs in the past twenty years) and “Dirty Little Mind” rely heavily on snarl and arrogance, both contain a sense of irresistible catchiness, leading the soundtrack to your favorite frat party or mullet infested State Fair. “Just Like a Devil” and “Redneck Punk” are carried by rolling, thundering grooves, while singles “I Stand Alone,” “Down on Me,” “When Will It Rain,” and “The Lumberjack Song” all borrow the most redeeming aspects of hair metal, throw out the glam aspects, and add an essential component of southern fried filth. The latter track is driven by not a guitar, but a chainsaw solo, a sophomoric yet effective tactic that would ultimately become the band’s signature. Looking back, Jackyl’s legacy is with little exception focused on the almost universally banned “She Loves My C*ck” and the aforementioned chainsaw toting of crazed frontman Jesse James Dupree. Although these components to their history are essential in understanding and appreciating the bands work, they often overshadow the notion that this effort is one of the strongest hard rock records of the last twenty years. Forgoing the quintessential power ballad and substituting an unrivaled embracement of sleaze, Jackyl at one moment in time laid waste to almost every hair metal/hard rock release in its competition. Had their glorified macho posturing been toned down a bit, they would have had greater commercial success, but that would have subtracted from the legitimacy of the album. Jackyl will never have a discography to match their Australian idols, but they managed to surpass the majority of their efforts on this release. Jackyl. It's been nearly 20 years since Jackyl shot out of Georgia with its wild, untamed and uncouth approach to rock 'n' roll. Equal parts hard rock, heavy metal and Southern rock, Jackyl formed in 1991 and brought back rock 'n' roll back -- back to its down-to-earth, wild, fun-loving origins. Full of spit and swagger -- and a "dirty" sense of humor to boot -- Jackyl quickly earned a deal with Geffen Records. Jackyl's live shows were already legendary before the ink dried on the Geffen contract. The 1992 self-titled debut album went platinum and featured notable rock radio hits like "Down On Me," "When Will It Rain," "I Stand Alone" and, most notably, "The Lumberjack," during which vocalist Jesse James Dupree performed a chain-saw solo. Dupree's chain-saw escapades on album and in concert became one of many Jackyl trademarks. With the release of 'Jackyl' hit the road and barely left it since. Just long enough to record new albums. Touring mates in those early days included Aerosmith, Kiss, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent and Damn Yankees. 1993 saw "Mental *@%.!" featured on 'The Beavis & Butt-head Experience,' a compilation album of songs tied in with MTV's hit cartoon series; it was eventually certified triple platinum. 1994 was one of the most important years in the band's career. The second album, 'Push Comes To Shove,' hit the streets and went gold. That August, Jackyl turned in one of the most acclaimed performances at Woodstock '94 in Saugerties, NY, and the resulting double album 'Woodstock 94' went platinum and included "Headed For Destruction" (a track from 'Push Comes To Shove'). The live recording 'Night Of The Living Dead' was released exclusively in Europe on Mayhem Records in 1996. It wasn't long before Jackyl followed A&R legend John Kalodner (who had signed them to Geffen) to Sony Music's imprint Epic Records. 'Cut the Crap' was released in 1997 and benefited from two industry heavyweights overseeing its recording: producer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica) and mixer Kevin Shirley (silverchair, Aerosmith). This album spawned the rock radio hit "Locked and Loaded," which included guest vocals by AC/DC's Brian Johnson. It was the first time Johnson had ever recorded with any artist but AC/DC since he joined the band 17 years earlier. A collection of B-sides titled 'Stayin' Alive' appeared on Shimmering Tone Records in 1998 but the biggest highlight of the year was Geffen's release of the best-of collection 'Choice Cuts' and the related promotional events Jackyl did to help promote it. The band earned two Guinness Book of World Records citations and the designation "The Hardest Working Band in Rock 'N' Roll" for performing 100 shows in 50 days as well as 21 shows in 24 hours. Dupree says the most grueling of the two was 21 shows in 24 hours; Jackyl completed that task in Texas, and the shows were all done with full lights and sound. The daytime sets were 45 minutes long whereas the ones done at nighttime were between 90 and 120 minutes long. Jackyl released 'Relentless' on Humidity Records in 2002. It contained the second collaboration with Brian Johnson, "Kill the Sunshine." Universal Music/Geffen Records also issued a Jackyl volume as part of its acclaimed '20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection' best-of series in 2003. For a band that built its reputation as road warriors, it's surprising that a full- length live album meant for worldwide release did not appear until 2004 with the separate release of the 'Live at the Full Throttle Saloon' CD and DVD on Sanctuary Records. 'Live at the Full Throttle Saloon' was recorded and filmed in summer 2003 in Sturgis, South Dakota, as part of the legendary annual biker rally festivities held there. Staying true to their working band roots, 2008 and 2009 saw Jackyl on the road playing the summer festival circuit. Jackyl - jackyl album itunes aac download.

Staying true to their working band roots, ever since 2008 Jackyl has been on the road playing the summer festival circuit as well as many other choice, off-season venues.
