During lock down Roger and the band recorded lots of new versions of various songs that they were working on and shared them as he went along. It would seem these recordings have probably been spruced up and sent to me mastered to make them sound nice and polished ready for consumption.Within the interview, Roger discusses that there will be a new physical and streaming release of his “Lockdown Sessions,” which were recorded between 2020 and 2022 during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Various songs were recorded and posted on Rogers’ official YouTube channel, including “Two Suns In The Sunset And The Gunners Dream” from Pink Floyd’s 1983 The Final Cut album, “Mother, Vera, and Bring The Boys Back Home” from 1979’s Pink Floyd The Wall, and a new arrangement of “The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range” from Rogers’ 1992 Amused To Death album. According to the latest interview, the new version of the recently released This Is Not A Drill Tour’s “Comfortably Numb” arrangement will also be included, the album is currently being mastered, and a physical and streaming release date has yet to be announced.
Further to the lockdown sessions was an interesting passing announcement that a new album is being worked on entitled “The Bar,” which is centred around a brand new song of the same name that currently features in the set-list for the current This Is Not A Drill 2022/2023 tour. In comments made as part of the interview, “Crystal Clear Brooks,” which debuted at the Newport Folk Festival in 2015, and an unreleased song co-written with Patrick Leonard many years ago could be included. A brief description of the concept was given as “If only we could get central people to talk about things, we could sort this mess out in a heartbeat.”
