Kevin Cronin took to Facebook to share what he thinks of Tenacious D’s cover of ‘Keep On Loving You.’
“Yo Jack Black, love your lead vocal on ‘Keep On Loving You’ and ‘guitar solo’ was amazing!” the vocalist wrote in his post. “Tenacious D has reunited with a rocking REO cover for a good cause! Check out their rendition of ‘Keep On Loving You’ on Good Music To Lift Los Angeles available for TODAY ONLY!”
His post continued, “Purchase your copy of the full album that includes 90 tracks of rare and unreleased songs from an incredible assortment of artists at http://goodmusiccomp.bandcamp.com/…/good-music-to-lift… All proceeds will go to benefit LA Regional Food Bank and California Community Foundation’s Wildlife Fund.”
After an eight-month break, Tenacious D is back. They appear on a new album, ‘Good Music to Lift Los Angeles,’ which helps victims of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. The duo contributed a cover of REO Speedwagon’s ‘Keep on Loving You,’ a song they’ve performed live before.
The 90-track compilation, released on February 7, includes unreleased tracks, covers, live versions, and demos from various artists like R.E.M., Death Cab For Cutie, and Interpol. The album’s proceeds go to the L.A. Regional Food Bank and Wildfire Fund.
It’s unclear when Tenacious D recorded their song, and neither Jack Black nor Kyle Gass have commented on it yet. This release comes after they canceled their Australian tour due to Gass’ controversial joke about Donald Trump’s assassination attempt.
After Gass made a joke about Trump at a show in Sydney, Black apologized and announced the band would take a break due to backlash from Australia’s right-wing. Gass also apologized for his comments, saying he didn’t support violence. As a result, he was dropped by his agent, and the band canceled their Australian and U.S. tours.
Black also apologized, stating he didn’t support hate speech or political violence. The duo put all future creative plans on hold. In August, Black said the band needed a break but promised they would return.
