What about this song release? A one off or more to come? An
album?

As far as I can tell, it's just a one-off.

You might have noticed David Lee Roth‘s version of the ’70s hit
“Baker Street” playing in the background when his offbeat No
Holds Bar-B-Que video was finally released recently. Now you can
hear the whole thing, offered as part of the latest installment
of his online Roth Show series. Check it out above.
Gerry Rafferty, who died in 2011, composed “Baker Street” around
his experiences as a struggling busker in the London
Underground. The song, powered along by Raphael Ravenscroft’s
signature sax riff, shot to No. 2 in the U.S. in 1978, around
the same time Van Halen were mounting their first world tour.
The Van Halen News Desk describes Roth’s take on “Baker Street”
as “superb,” calling it a “great choice.” It’s unclear who
created the backing track.
Roth isn’t the only rocker to tip his hat at the song. Slash
later said that his guitar solo in “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was
influenced in part by Ravenscroft’s classic sax turn on “Baker
Street.” The Foo Fighters also included their own cover in the
expanded version of 1997’s The Colour and the Shape; it
originally appeared as a B-side to their hit single “My Hero.”
In No Holds Bar-B-Que, Roth is seen sporting a ninja costume
while “Baker Street” plays in the background. The original 2002
video had never been officially released before it showed up on
Roth’s YouTube feed earlier this summer.
