Stooges guitarist James Williamson is recording some of the legendary band's archival rarities for a new album called Re-Licked, and with the full collection set to drop in the fall, he has shared a new single from the project.

"I Gotta Right" was penned by Iggy Pop around 1970. This new version from Williamson is a hard-charging, fast-paced punk track that features wailing snarls from Lisa Kekaula of the Bellrays. Petra Haden contributed vocal harmonies, while the instrumentation includes touring Stooges members Steve Mackay, Mike Watt and Toby Dammit.

This song will come out on July 29. The single comes backed with "Heavy Liquid," also sung by Kekaula.

Below, additionally watch a video teaser for the tune. It features some extremely risqué burlesque dancing, although there's not any nudity technically speaking.

This follows a Record Store Day single with the songs "Gimme Some Skin" and "Open Up & Bleed."
