Clowns Lounge is the thirteenth studio album by
Enuff Z'Nuff.[1] It is mainly an archival release that features previously unreleased demo songs of their recording sessions from 1988-1989 in Wisconsin, back when the band was creating their first
self-titled release on
ATCO Records. The title of the album is a reference to a strip club they frequented in-between sessions. The songs mostly feature singer
Donnie Vie and bassist Chip Z'Nuff, along with guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx.[2] One newly recorded song, "Dog On a Bone," has bassist Z'Nuff on lead vocals but with no involvement from Vie.[3] Another song, "The Devil Of Shakespeare," was originally recorded around 2004, co-written by author Billy McCarthy for his debut book of the same name. That track features McCarthy on drums, the late
Jani Lane of
Warrant on vocals, along with
James Young of
Styx on lead guitar.[4]
On October 12, the first promotional song "Rockabye Dreamland" officially appeared on
Spotify and other streaming services such as
YouTube. A second song, "She Makes It Harder," was also released to streaming services on October 24, as well as a 3rd track, "Good Luv," on November 7.
The first video and single, "Dog On a Bone," was released on November 21.[5]
