Joshua Ray Walker Takes On The Cranberries’ ‘Linger’ With Help From Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass

When Joshua Ray Walker started working on his upcoming album ‘What Is It Even?’ – his tribute to some of his favorite female artists and songwriters, out August 4th, 2023 via Soundly Music – he didn’t expect that Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass would appear on the record. It was probably even less likely that Gass would provide a recorder solo on the track. But that’s exactly what happened on Walker’s take on The Cranberries’ certified classic. Walker’s other-worldly voice shines on the track, Adam “Ditch” Kurtz’s pedal steel adds some twang, and Gass’ recorder solo mirrors the original’s slide guitar solo.

N-Dubz Rebook Popstar Erin Bloomer For New Shows After Derby Show Cancellation

However, N-Dubz had to cancel the show at the last minute due to a falling out with the promoter. The show would have essentially served as Bloomer’s big debut, and the cancellation of the Derby show hurt the Sussex-born star greatly – however, N-Dubz saved the day by booking her for not only one, but two new shows in Brighton and Margate, helping to keep her dreams alive.
