Back in 2014, ENUFF Z’NUFF celebrated three decades as one of hard rock’s most resilient and melodic bands by releasing “Covered In Gold”, their 13th studio album and a heartfelt tribute to the artists who shaped their sound. The original pressing quickly went out of print, and now in 2026, the band is giving fans another chance to own it with a brand‑new reissue.
Produced by Donnie Vie and Chip Z’nuff, the album leans heavily into the band’s melodic instincts, offering 13 cover songs reimagined through Enuff Z’Nuff’s unmistakable blend of glam, power‑pop, and hair‑metal swagger.
The tracklist is wildly eclectic — and that’s exactly what makes it fun.
• A loose, groovy reinterpretation of PRINCE’s “When Doves Cry”
• A punchy, playful take on Billy Squier’s “The Stroke”
• A wonderfully unhinged remake of David Lee Roth’s “Yankee Rose”
• A sleazy, full‑throttle hair‑metal version of Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown” that sounds straight out of 1989
Their cover of CHEAP TRICK’s “Everything Works If You Let It” is a highlight, bursting with hooks and energy, while their rocking spin on Queen’s “Stone Cold Crazy” shows the band firing on all cylinders. They also tackle songs by The Cult, David Bowie, The Beatles, and even Nirvana, proving just how wide their musical net has always been.
To round things out, the album includes a live unplugged version of their 1989 hit “New Thing”, recorded in London — a great bonus for longtime fans.
ENUFF Z’NUFF – Covered In Gold may not feature new original material, but it absolutely captures the spirit of a band still alive, vibrant, and creatively fearless after more than 30 years. The performances are tight, the arrangements are catchy, and the whole record radiates the band’s signature melodic charm.
Highly Recommended — both as a celebration of Enuff Z’Nuff’s legacy and as a wildly entertaining collection of reinvented classics.
