Naked Thunder is a 1990 solo album by Ian Gillan, released soon after his departure from Deep Purple in 1989. It features a varied selection of songs, with one of Gillan's most passionate and impressive performances on power ballad "Loving on Borrowed Time" and traditional field lament "No More Cane on the Brazos". It was also the first album to feature Ian Gillan's long time writing partner Steve Morris. Naked Thunder was produced by Leif Mases and features a number of notable guest musicians, including drummer Simon Phillips and former Grease Band keyboard player Tommy Eyre.[6]
The album was available only as an import in the USA until 1998 when it was re-released for American market by Eagle Records.
Naked Thunder was preceded by a couple of singles which failed to chart. More successful was the tour that followed with a video documenting one of the shows (Ian Gillan Live, 1990).
In 2006 Ian Gillan re-recorded "Loving on Borrowed Time" for the Gillan's Inn album. In November 2016, he again performed "No More Cane on the Brazos" live during the tour of Eastern Europe with orchestra and Don Airey Band. It was the first time he has performed the song in twenty-five years.
