The best songs we never wrote

"Prior to Eagles of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing the Best Songs We Never Wrote, Eagles of Death Metal's most notable cover was their version of Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer," which became a rallying cry for the band and fans after the terrorist attack at their 2015 show at Paris' Bataclan that claimed 89 victims. With these interpretations of songs by artists ranging from David Bowie to Mary J. Blige, Jesse Hughes continues to tap into the healing power of well-loved songs. Originally released as The Eagles of Death Metal Presents Pigeons of Shit Metal, a limited-edition covers album that Hughes recorded largely on his own, Eagles of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing the Best Songs We Never Wrote is a expanded collection of his takes on the music that helped him cope with his depression after the attack ... Though Eagles of Death Metal Presents Boots Electric Performing the Best Songs We Never Wrote is a little uneven, the more personal approach Hughes takes on Eagles of Death Metal's first studio recordings since the Bataclan is still welcome".
