¡Chutzpah! is the eighth studio album by The Wildhearts. Recorded in Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen,[2][3] it was released in Europe and the US on 31 August 2009.[4][5] Unlike the band's previous releases, where the songs were almost always performed in E♭ tuning, the guitars and bass on the album are tuned to C. It is also rare among the band's releases in that it contains a song, "The Only One", which was neither written nor sung by frontman Ginger, but instead by bassist Scott Sorry.
