Naked Thunder

Naked Thunder is the debut solo album by Ian Gillan, released soon after his departure from Deep Purple in 1989.

It features a varied selection of songs, with one of Gillan's most passionate and impressive performances on power ballad "Loving on Borrowed Time" and traditional field lament "No More Cane on the Brazos".

It was also the first album to feature Ian Gillan's long time writing partner Steve Morris.

Naked Thunder was produced by Leif Mases and features a number of notable guest musicians, including drummer Simon Phillips and former Grease Band and SAHB keyboard player Tommy Eyre[7] along with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band rhythm section of Chris Glen (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums).

In November 2016, he again performed "No More Cane on the Brazos" live during the tour of Eastern Europe with orchestra and Don Airey Band.
