David Hasselhoff has released his cover version of The Jesus and Mary Chain‘s ‘Head On’ – listen to the track below.

The Baywatch actor and singer is releasing a new album, ‘Open Your Eyes’, on Friday (September 27). The record, his first since 2012’s ‘This Time Around’, will mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany “by bridging several musical cultures including the UK, Germany, and the US!”

After releasing the album’s title track (a collaboration with The Stooges’ James Williamson) earlier this month, Hasselhoff has now released his version of ‘Head On’, which featured on The Jesus and Mary Chain’s 1989 album ‘Automatic’. The cover features guitar from The Cars guitarist Elliot Easton, and you can hear it below.
