"Strut" - which peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard 200 - was the rocker's tenth studio album and first since 2011's "Black And White America."

"The record brought me back to a place of what I love so much about music, back to the feelings I had when I was in high school," he explains. "It's a real rock & roll record - it's raw, it's got soul and it came together really quickly."
