"Never Gets Old" is a co-write between Dupree and old friend Brian Johnson. The two collaborated for
several
Jackyl records, dating back to
Cut The Crap’s “Locked & Loaded” (1997) and “Kill
The Sunshine” from
Relentless’ (2002). Dupree shares, “Brian Johnson of AC/DC is ROCK!

Dupree offers, “This album is a convenient accident as I had no intention of recording one. It
came about when I was listening to some old AC/DC records, and it reminded me how important rock ‘n roll is to me. The ideas started coming, and at the same time my son Nigel walked
through the door from Nashville.
The next thing I knew Roman was there, and we were laying
the tracks down. I had not spoken to Brian Johnson for about six months because he was
preoccupied with his book tour. Coincidentally, he dialed me in the days after we had been
recording. Some of the strongest songs I’ve ever been a part of are featured on this album. How
cool is it to play with your son, your best friend (in Roman), and to write songs with Brian
Johnson? Life doesn't get better than that.”
