1406302748000-Jenny-Risher-Photography3Ted Nugent calls “Everything Matters” from his new SHUTUP&JAM! album a “grooving, classic R&B song.”

The song’s sepia-toned video, premiering at USA TODAY, gives fans a good, long look at the guitarist’s beloved Gibson Byrdland and his rhythm section, bassist Greg Smith and drummer Greg Brown. Derek St. Holmes, whose history with Nugent goes back to 70s hits like Stranglehold and Cat Scratch Fever, returns to sing lead.

Nugent says the song and its groove were inspired by R&B greats like Wilson Pickett, James Brown and Otis Redding, as well as Detroit-based rockers Mitch Ryder and Wayne Cochran.
