Wayne Love in 2019. Wayne Love in 2019.For the production, Alabama 3 brought in Cam Blackwood (George Ezra,Jack Savoretti, Tom Walker, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes) for the first time to focus on something new, fresh and vital.

The first single (andAlbumopener) WHACKED proves this impressively.
