Deep Cover
Just about every major rock act eventually goes the covers album route-so the only surprising thing about Yeah!, Def Leppard's just-released tribute to the 1970s pop and glam-rock artists they grew up on, should be that it took them 26 years to get around to it. But it turns out that Yeah! is full of surprises, featuring creative song selections from formative influences like David Bowie, Thin Lizzy, Mott the Hoople and T. Rex, including a few tunes that will be new to most American ears.
Have you spent much time in Nashville?
On and off I have. I’ve had three different friends move there in the last year or so, so I'm really looking forward to that gig.
How did you guys pick which songs you'd cover on the new album?
