Don Walker Christens New Album ‘Lightning in a Clear Blue Sky’

Don Walker will release his first album in 10 years, ‘Lightning in a Clear Blue Sky’ in May.

The album was recorded in just two days in Melbourne in early 2022 with Garrett Costigan on pedal steel; Michael Vidale on bass; Hamish Stuart on drums and the late, great guitarist Roydon Payne, to whom Walker has dedicated the album. They were joined on backing vocals by the Harmonettes, Amanda Roff, Erica Dunn and Brigitte Hart.
