Platinum-selling glam metal band Poison have unveiled the track listing for their new studio album of rock covers.

The band, who have had success with diverse cover versions on many of their previous albums throughout the '80s and '90s, have recorded 13 tracks by artists from

David Bowie to Grand Funk Railroad.

Poison'd, to be released on June 4, is the group's first new release since the critically panned Hollyweird in 2002. They have since had a reissue campaign of their early albums and a greatest-hits package released.

The current lineup includes original Poison members

Bret Michaels (vocals), C.C. Deville (guitar), Rikki Rockett (drums), and Bobby Dall (bass).

The band picked their favorite tracks to cover, including Bowie's "Suffragete City" and the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers."

Some of the tracks such as Kiss's "Rock And Roll All Nite" and Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" are from earlier Poison releases.

Poison are about to embark on a massive North American tour, and frontman Bret Michaels is due to star in a new VH1 reality TV series called Rock Of Love With Bret Michaels. VH1’s description of the show has "the hard-rockin' Poison frontman looking for a woman who can truly keep up with his rock 'n' roll lifestyle and not become jealous of his one true passion--performing, which has been the reason for and destruction of most of his relationships."

1. "Little Willy" (originally performed by Sweet)
2. "Suffragette City" (originally performed by David Bowie)
3. "I Never Cry" (originally performed by
