New Orleans rock trio Zebra are back with Zebra V, their first studio album in 23 years, out November 13. The first single, “Walk With You”, was co-written by guitarist and singer Randy Jackson with KISS frontman Paul Stanley and is out now with a music video.
Pre-order Zebra V here.
“It was great working with Jack Douglas again after 40 years. ‘Walk With You’ is a song I wrote years ago with Paul Stanley. Jack listened to the demo and loved the song. His magic brought the song to life and I’m really proud of the way it came out.”
Randy Jackson
