DUFF MCKAGEN Tenderness hails from 2019 and is a SEALED Limited Edition LP/CD set.  The Deluxe Book is a limited edition of 1,000 copies worldwide, includes the album on 180-gram yellow & red starburst vinyl, the CD and features an exclusive litho signed and numbered by Duff. The hard cover book contains 40-pages of photos from the recording sessions and also presents liner notes written by Duff detailing his experiences with each song and the project as a whole. The vinyl features 10 tracks and a unique sequence carefully selected by Duff and Shooter while the CD features 11 tracks.

Tenderness finds Duff McKagan going solo for the first time in decades and reflecting on his experiences traveling the globe over two and a half years on Guns N' Roses' Not In This Lifetime tour. Encountering heartbreak, anger, fear, confusion and divide on his travels during this tumultuous time in our world history, McKagan channeled a collective hurt into songs of monolithic power. Produced by recent Grammy winner Shooter Jennings, Tenderness features Jennings and his band along with appearances by The Waters and The Suicide Horn Section (which features Duff's brother Matt McKagan on trombone), amongst others.

"We're becoming divided at a time when we need each other most," says McKagan. "When huge industries get replaced because of modernization, it's time to retrain and bolster up those who get swept aside. Homelessness and drug addiction are avoidable in this country if we come together and get private and public cogs turning together in a positive direction. We can at least try to tackle mental illness while we're at it. But alas, we stump and lie, point fingers and divide. We're way better than this. As a father, I must say and do something now because I love my girls and my wife, and I love my country, and I feel I must be strong and use my voice now, do it while I'm able or perhaps never get a chance ever again."
