Harry Shearer is releasing a Derek Smalls solo album, spun off from Spinal Tap

Spinal Tap’s career continues to climb past 11.

In 2018, Harry Shearer’s Derek Smalls character is releasing a solo album! Smalls Change, Meditations on Ageing will drop globally on April 13, 2018, via Twanky Records/BMG on Digital, CD and Vinyl.

Smalls Change is a poignant and oftentimes furious contemplation on aging that explores the passing of time and all things loud. With styles that cross the gamut of musical bases, the album possesses the edgy rawness and Rock God sensibility that was always shared by Derek and his fellow former band members, Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins and, is now all too evident in his solo work. The album also features some of the greatest talents of rock and roll music and beyond including Peter Frampton, 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 Hungarian Studio Orchestra. Smalls Change is produced by C J Vanston.
