That's When I Need You 'Whacked' is the first taste of fresh Alabama 3 material since the tragic passing of their beloved and unconventional frontman and songwriter Jake Black, aka The Very Reverend D. Wayne Love, in May of 2019. Jake had Addison's disease and passed away several days after falling ill during a show at the Highest Point Festival in Lancashire at only 59 years old.  "Whacked was made in the early weeks of the first UK lockdown in March 2020," remembers producer Cam Blackwood. "I think the hedonistic spirit of the song was amplified a million times by the fact we were making the record remotely - with the musicians in the band recording their parts at home, sending them all to me to collate and arrange - then I would send the instrumental track to Larry to record vocals on. The energy was pretty insane - we were like caged animals desperate to get out. "We managed to find time three months later (when the first lockdown ended in July 2020) to get together and put the finishing touches to the song," continues Cam. "Being in the studio with a few beers seemed like a fitting way to finalise the tune and put the last 1% of energy into the recording. This song feels like classic Alabama 3 to me. It's a banger!" A low-slung groove propelled by frontman Larry Love's infamous throat rattle, with the addictive chorus refrain 'everybody's getting whacked on something, something that makes them feel good,' 'Whacked' will loop around your brain like a recurring dream you can't wake from. These are hedonistic conscious unconscious times.  "You can praise the Lord, you can pass the ammunition, you can be woke you can be wicked you can have the wisdom of Solomon but unless you are ready to get whacked with Alabama 3 there's no point in dreaming," states Larry. "Rearrange the rubble, paint your bomb shelters and make sure everybody in the neighbourhood feels good cos we feel like getting stooped and you need to get whacked." Alabama 3 are very much back.
