(Pulse/Universal/Fontana, July 21, 2009)
BTW: With "Music For Cougars," Sugar Ray guitarist Rodney Sheppard tells P&P "our goal was: Just to hear a new song of ours on the radio."
It's their first studio album since 2003's "In the Pursuit of Leisure." With such a long period between albums, does Sugar Ray feel like it's starting all over again?
"Quite the opposite," Sheppard says. "When you have grown men and women saying to us they loved our songs when they were in elementary school, you know you're OLD ... but happy."
