Narada Michael Walden catches “Thunder”

His name is synonymous with soul and funk but Narada Michael Walden‘s oeuvre has always bordered on rock, and alongside collaborations with the likes of Aretha, Ray and Whitney, the veteran drummer logged in classic tracks with Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin and Robert Fripp. And then there’s a steady solo career which seemed to have stalled, studio-wise, in the late ’90s yet was resumed last year with “Thunder” that is to have a worldwide release as “Thunder 2013” in September.

With no tracklisting unveiled, it’s very likely that it’ll stick to the following running order, with Walden singing and drumming:
