Frehley, Ace
Trouble Walkin’
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

2020 2LP 45rpm, Record Store Day, Reissue, Yellow/Orange vinyl. Trouble Walkin’ is the third solo studio album by American guitarist Ace Frehley. Marking Frehley’s return to a harder rock sound after his 1987 album Frehley’s Comet, this record finds the former KISS lead guitarist in top form, delivering gritty guitar work and melodic hooks. Notable guest appearances include Peter Criss and members of Skid Row, with Sebastian Bach, Rachel Bolan, and Dave Sabo lending backing vocals on the cover of The Move’s “Do Ya.” Engineered by Eddie Kramer, known for his work with Jimi Hendrix and KISS, the sound is robust and energetic, capturing the essence of late ‘80s hard rock. The record contains standout tracks like “Shot Full of Rock,” “Hide Your Heart” (released just days before KISS’s own version), and the anthemic title track. Pressed on vinyl, Trouble Walkin’ offers collectors and fans a high-fidelity experience that highlights Frehley’s signature punchy riffs and dynamic solos, making it a must-have for aficionados of classic rock and KISS-related memorabilia.
