Don Walker on Lightning In A Clear Blue Sky

Don Walker is one of Australia’s most revered, respected and most successful songwriters. He first established his reputation as the principal songwriter in Cold Chisel, the most played band on Australian radio and his career has extended through solo albums (under his own name or Catfish) and albums with Tex Perkins and Charlie Owens in Tex, Don and Charlie. Many others have recorded his songs and he is rightfully a member of the Australian songwriting Hall of Fame as well as a multiple ARIA and APRA award winner.  Don’s latest solo album, his first for ten years, is titled Lightning In A Clear Blue Sky and I caught up with him by zoom to have an extensive chat about it.
