JIM JONES ALL STARS (fronted by legendary testifier Jim Jones – formerly of Thee Hypnotics, Black Moses, The Jim Jones Revue & Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind – are back with a brand new album ‘CAT FIGHT’ – set for release on the 3rd April 2026 via Silver Arrow Records.
Featuring 12 brand new tracks, ‘Cat Fight’ – the first studio album since ‘Ain’t No Peril’ (2023) perfectly captures the claws-out sonic clash and feral scrap of their incendiary live shows. Arriving hot on the tail of last year’s nuclear live outing ‘Get Down ~Get With It’, the Jim Jones All Stars deliver the goods with a new collection that encapsulates their exhilarating collision of Little Richard’s primal rock & roll and the straight-up fury of MC5 and The Stooges to a tee.
It’s often said that if you can remember the sixties, then you weren’t really there. Well, ‘Cat Fight’ arrives like a bombshell case of evidence to fill in those hazy gaps for you. “Make It Rain” detonates the set with an elemental paean of Stones-y leather-glad grooves. “Born 2 Ride” skewers the Bond-theme brass and class of those John Barry themes and mows them down with a Steppenwolf biker boot. Then there’s the scorched-earth sleaze of “I’m On Fire”, a track that staggers and sways like Iggy Pop and Serge Gainsbourg on a nightclubbing bender, propped-up by the amphetamine garage rushes of “Goin’ Higher” and the intoxicating chaser of “Drink Me”. And if the panther-like strut of title-track “Cat Fight” – think Tom Jones getting hammered with Booker T & The MG’s – doesn’t have you feline fine after all that, then there’s no hope of your recovery.
Across the album, expect to hear a cast of special guests including Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes) on vocals, Chuck Prophet (on Guitar) and Gloria Jones, all of whom add their seminal qualities to a record that resurfaces, reconstitutes, and rewires forgotten sonics with immense satisfaction.
A breathless time warp of vintage textures, all delivered with Jim Jones’ guttural charm; ‘Cat Fight’ invites you to grab a ring-side seat and bask in the raw, lawless, unadulterated thrills of a bygone era; all dredged-up and slammed down for your personal delectation.
Recorded At Bakerland Studios, Leeds and West Eleven Studios, London by Kevin Harris, the album was produced under the masterful gaze of Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, with bespoke artwork designed by his wife Camille too.
Mixed with a testifying fervour and delivered at ear-popping volume levels, the final mix was contributed by Jim Jones himself and mastered by Nick Page at Forking Paths Mastering, Los Angeles.
