Set for release later this month, the 25-track effort contains acoustic re-imaginings of some of Jett's biggest hits
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS have announced their first-ever acoustic album, Changeup.
Boasting 25 tracks, and set for a March 25 release via BLACKHEART RECORDS, Changeup contains acoustic re-imaginings of some of Jett's biggest hits, like Bad Reputation and Crimson and Clover.
The album's announcement has arrived in tandem with its second single - an unplugged take on Jett's 1981 tune, (I'm Gonna) Run Away. It was preceded by the acoustic version of Bad Reputation that Jett released last year.
Though quite faithful to, and lacking the brawny power of, the original, the acoustic (I'm Gonna) Run Away has an endearing, Stones-y, campfire-sing-along vibe. You can hear it below.
Changeup's stripped-down sound is fitting, given the signature guitar that Jett released in January.
A collaboration with Epiphone, the JOAN JETT Olympic Special is a no-frills rock machine that's painted in Aged Classic White, and features one PowerHammer PRO humbucker, a single black volume knob and a kill switch.
Changeup also prefaces Jett and the BLACKHEARTS' upcoming, many-times-rescheduled stadium mega-tour with fellow '80s rock giants Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Poison, which is set to kick off in June.
