Original WHITESNAKE guitarist BERNIE MARSDEN sadly passed away last August. Now a posthumous album titled “Working Man” will be released. Although Bernie had always worked hard and kept busy, most recently releasing three solo albums since 2021 in “Kings”, “Chess” and “Trios” as part of his “Inspirations” series, only a few knew that he had just completed a brand new album.
Earlier in August, Bernie had approved the artwork, sequence and audio masters for “Working Man“, an album of Marsden original songs. The final recording sessions took place in June 2023, and Bernie was fully involved in the mixing and planning for the album, and he really wanted “Working Man” to come out in late summer, but because of the longer lead time needed to manufacture vinyl, it was scheduled for release late this year.
After the last three albums of covers, he was keen for his fans to hear some new, original songs. He loved working on them in the studio during lockdown and he couldn’t wait to get the album out into the world.
“Working Man” contains 12 brand-new Bernie Marsden-penned tracks produced by himself and mixed by Dave Eringa (THE WHO). This limited first pressing of the LP / CD will come with a bonus disc with some astonishing reinterpretations of classic WHITESNAKE songs.
