Rock ’n’ roll singer/songwriter Kurt Baker has released his new digital single “Wonder Woman”, via Wicked Cool Records. Backed by a cover of the Slade song “When Fantasy Calls,” the single offers the first glimpse of a previously unreleased album Baker recorded in Madrid during the COVID pandemic with Swedish producer Ola Ersfjord and Canadian Punk guitarist Mark O’Flaherty.
The release arrives ahead of Kurt Baker & The 3AMs’ appearance at Beauty Bar’s 30th Anniversary Bash, presented by Little Steven’s Underground Garage and Beauty Bar, on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at DROM in New York City.
The lineup also features Jon Spencer and Daddy Long Legs, with legendary Patti Smith Group guitarist and Nuggets mastermind Lenny Kaye spinning records as DJ.
After years of living in Spain, Baker recently returned to the United States and settled in New York City, where he continues his life as a recording artist and performer while taking on new responsibilities behind the scenes in the music industry. This also brought him closer to the location of his storage of old demos.
During a recent trip home, Baker dug through his archive and found a complete, unreleased album recorded during the pandemic with Ersfjord and O’Flaherty. Following a year of personal upheaval, and with life finally beginning to turn a corner, Baker decided the time was right to release those tapes.
The first track to emerge is “Wonder Woman,” a “love letter to ’70s arena Rock and all the superhero women out there rockin’ and rollin’, kickin’ ass and takin’ names”.
The flip side finds Baker reaching into the catalog of one of Glam rock’s most influential bands for his take on “When Fantasy Calls,” from Slade’s 1977 album, Whatever Happened to Slade.
The new single follows the recent vinyl reissue of Baker’s covers album, Got It Covered, released through Oglio Entertainment.
