The legendary "testifier" himself is back. Jim Jones—the formidable frontman formerly of Thee Hypnotics and The Jim Jones Revue—has announced the return of the Jim Jones All Stars with their sophomore studio album, Cat Fight. Set for release on April 3, 2026, via Silver Arrow Records, the album arrives with the high-octane endorsement of The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, who declared: “That’s the real rock n roll business right there!”
Produced by Chris Robinson, Cat Fight captures the raw, lawless energy of the band's incendiary live shows. Across 12 brand-new tracks, the All Stars deliver a breathless collision of Little Richard’s primal rock & roll and the straight-up garage fury of The Stooges.
The album is a masterclass in vintage textures and guttural charm. Opening with the "Stones-y" leather-clad grooves of "Make It Rain," the record moves through the Bond-theme brass of "Born 2 Ride" and the scorched-earth sleaze of "I’m On Fire." Fans can also expect a star-studded cast of guest contributors, including Robinson on vocals, Chuck Prophet on guitar, and the iconic Gloria Jones.
Recorded between Leeds and London, Cat Fight was mixed by Jim Jones himself to ensure a "testifying fervour" delivered at ear-popping volumes. To celebrate the launch, the band is hitting the road for an extensive UK tour throughout April, with additional stops scheduled for July.
