Grace McKagan drops new single Baby That’s Rock N Roll

Grace McKagan has unveiled her latest solo single (plus a scuzzy accompanying video), Baby That’s Rock N Roll.

"Rock’n’roll has a deep authenticity which can sometimes get lost in how it's portrayed in mainstream pop culture and the song is a bit of a nod to that," the singer-songwriter explains of the track. "I really love songs that have an infectious and cool rhythm paired with a fun story. Songs like Hands Around My Throat by Death In Vegas and artists including Suicide, Iggy Pop, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club."

Grace also tells American Songwriter that: “I’m not the guru on what rock is or isn’t, but the personification of the genre has evolved a lot, especially in these past couple of years. Studs, dirty sex, a guitar riff on a pop song, and wearing eyeliner doesn’t quite equate to rock’n’roll in my eyes, but on the plus side let’s celebrate that guitars are back.” Hear, hear!
