The Berlin-based band The BossHoss is set to release their anniversary album 'Back to the Boots' this Friday. The album, a return to their roots, features pure country rock with more experience, according to band member Alec Völkel.

The album includes a mix of original tracks and covers, such as a humorous number titled 'German Angst' that takes aim at German clichés like planning obsession and caution. A standout track on the album is the sultry 'Lunch.'

One of the most exciting collaborations on the album is with R&B legend Dionne Warwick, who lends her voice to a new version of her hit 'What the World Needs Now Is Love.' Another notable collaboration is with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who speaks his famous 'I'll be back' line for the song 'I'll Be Back.'

The band's love for the USA remains unchanged, despite the second term of US President Donald Trump. Völkel perceives the current events in the USA as strange, but still sees the country as great.

The album does not represent a country stew, as it includes non-country tracks like 'Lunch' and 'German Angst.' The band finds the Johnny Cash classic 'Ring of Fire' too big and prefers a rock version of Willie Nelson's 'On the Road Again.'

The band often visits the United States for inspiration, but their unique sound is already within them. The BossHoss have not appeared as judges on the casting format 'The Voice' since the early years.

After touring through German clubs from late September, The BossHoss aims to feel close to their fans again. Other guest artists mentioned in the studio include Chiara Civello, Mandy Capristo, and Sera.

The BossHoss's new album 'Back to the Boots' is a testament to their enduring love for country rock and their ability to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the industry.
