The great Bernie Marsden sadly passed away last month, yet it turns out that he had managed to record a fresh album earlier this year, the platter titled “Working Man” – for the guitarist always kept busy – and ready for release, on CD and vinyl, on November 24th. There’s a dozen new tracks on the record, his regular highly infectious blend of blues and hard rock, and there’s also a bonus disc.
The additional ten pieces are also recent, but not in their provenance. “Come On In My Kitchen” and “Midnight Believer” are, respectively, Robert Johnson and B. B. King covers – which logically follow up the three albums of classic blues numbers that precede “Working Man” – while four other cuts are part of Marsden’s WHITESNAKE legacy, and most of the rest hark back to his solo beginnings. A brilliant farewell!
