With his creative juices flowing once again after five long years away from music, Derek Smalls, the bass force formerly of the fabled heavy metal band formerly known as Spinal Tap, is celebrating the start of the holiday season with a call to his former bandmates to “rock some more.” This comes on the release of the deluxe edition of his star-studded 2018 solo debut, Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing), available now via Bottomland Productions / Immortal Records.
Smalls is joined by an all-star lineup of his closest friends and biggest fans, including Donald Fagen, Dweezil Zappa, Rick Wakeman, Richard Thompson, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani, Waddy Wachtel, Michael League, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Paul Shaffer, Steve Vai, Larry Carlton, Judith Owen, Jane Lynch, and the late Taylor Hawkins, with accompaniment from The Hungarian Studio Orchestra.
LISTEN: The deluxe edition of Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing) follows hot on the heels of Smalls’ first track in five years, “Must Crush Barbie,” available everywhere now.
