ROGER WATERS is prepping a full album of material compiled during his lockdown sessions, conducted during the height of the pandemic, called “The Lockdown Sessions”.
Beginning in May of 2020 and running through 2022, Waters recorded at-home versions of various Pink Floyd classics as well as his own solo material. “Mother,” “Vera” and “Bring the Boys Back Home” from 1979’s The Wall, as well as “Two Suns in the Sunset” and “The Gunners Dream” from The Final Cut are among the songs Waters recorded for the project.
“Comfortably Numb 2022” – a re-imagining of Pink Floyd’s famed 1980 single – will also be part of the LP.
Waters was joined by his band members, albeit virtually, as they performed their parts from their respective homes as well.
Waters is on lead vocals, guitars, bass and piano and is joined by Jonathan Wilson on guitars and vocals; Dave Kilminster on guitars and vocals; Jon Carin on keyboards, guitar and vocals; Gus Seyffert on bass and vocals; Robert Walter on keyboards; Joey Waronker on drums; Shanay Johnson on vocals; Amanda Belair on vocals and Seamus Blake on saxophone.
