On his new solo album Black Butterfly the influences from his past are brought together in some compact rock songs. Steve wrote the 14 songs of the album together with the Swedish musician Tommy Denander and the Christian rocker Jerome Mazza takes the lead vocals on three songs. The music goes from the sounds of Kansas („The Piper“) to the beats of „Warsaw“ and the political news on „Billy Carbone Dead“. Black Butterfly is a wonderful return to Walsh‘ studio work.
