Derek Smalls isn’t holding back. On AXS TV, the Spinal Tap bassist took a swing at This Is Spinal Tap, calling it a “hatchet job” that failed to capture the band’s real triumphs — like actually finding the stage. But he’s not just complaining — he’s rocking. His new solo album Smalls Change: Meditations Upon Aging boasts a star-studded lineup featuring Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Dweezil Zappa, and Tenacious D. Because if you’re going to turn it up to 11, you might as well invite everyone.
