Todd Rundgren has released a stream of his new track This Is Not A Drill exclusively with Prog.

It features a guest performance from guitar maestro Joe Satriani, along with Prairie Prince and Kasim Sulton and is lifted from Rundgren’s upcoming album White Knight, which will launch on May 12 via Cleopatra Records.

The record also features contributions from a number of artists including Joe Walsh, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Daryl Hall, Dam Funk, Bobby Strickland, John Boutte, Joe Fagen and Bettye LaVette.

Rundgren said: “It’s easy to get used to playing to your own audience, even if you are absorbing and experimenting with new ideas.

“I wanted to collaborate not just for the musical possibilities, but also to play for new audiences and expose my fans to the range of artists I enjoy working with.”

Rundgren previously released the track That Could Have Been Me featuring Robyn.

White Knight is now available for pre-order, while the cover art and tracklist can be found below. Rundgren has several US tour dates scheduled, with further shows to be added in due course.
