Hear Nickelback cover Don Henley

Nickelback have streamed their cover of Eagles man Don Henley’s 1982 track Dirty Laundry.

They recently recorded it during sessions for their ninth album, which is expected early next year. Listen to the track below.

Chad Kroeger and co say of the song: “Sometimes you play a song in the studio just for fun. And sometimes it’s so fun you have to record and share it with everyone.”

Nickelback are engaged in legal action against insurance giant Lloyds, who are refusing to cover the $13 million costs associated with cancelling a run of dates last year as a result of Kroeger’s vocal cord issues. Lloyds claim that he knew about the problem before the tour was arranged, but the band say that’s not true and the firm are simply trying to avoid paying out.

Their last release was 2014’s No Fixed Address.

Study attempts to find why people hate Nickelback

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
