Can’t Get Enough was inspired by the 1968 collaboration with Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. The Super Sessions album featured Stills’ guitar work on one side, and Bloomfield’s on the other.

Tracks include covers of Neil Young‘s “Rockin’ In The Free World” and Iggy and the Stooges’ “Search And Destroy” alongside Muddy Waters’ “Honey Bee” and Elmore James’ “Talk To Me Baby” and a previously unrecorded Buffalo Springfield-era Stills song, “Word Game”.

“In the spirit of that simple, raw authentic 40s and 50s blues music the three of us love, we got in there and boom! A few takes and we were done,” says Stills. “The songs have muscle; they don’t sound dated or contrived. They’re very natural and organic. I can’t wait to tour with these guys and start recording again.”

The full track-listing for Can’t Get Enough is:

Mississippi Road House

That’s A Pretty Good Love

Don’t Want Lies

Search And Destroy

Can’t Get Enough of Loving You

Honey Bee

Rockin’ In The Free World

Talk To Me Baby

Only Teardrops Fall

Word Game

The Rides will begin on a world tour beginning in September, with UK November dates to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
