Ace Frehley (Trouble Walkin') 1989

Front Cover

Ace never puts out anything that sucks. And this record is proof that he was by far the most talented musician in KISS. Interesting thing about this record is that he also released the single Hide Your Heart a month or so apart from KISS' Hot In The Shade album that also had the same song on it. It was written by Paul Stanley, but he let Ace do his version of it. I don't know which version I prefer as they both sound pretty much the same.

Peter Criss, Sabastian Bach and Dave Sabo from Skid Row guest on this record with Anton Fig returning full time on the skins.

Fractured III continues the saga that he started all the way back in 1978. This one is a little more hard edge compared to the other 2, but it fits well as a whole in the series of instrumentals. 

With the release of Trouble Walkin', Ace had "disbanded" Frehley's Comet and taken on the name of...well himself, even though 3 of the 4 members are still within the band. Out is Tod Howarth. Back in is Anton Fig on drums who was replaced on Second Sighting with Jamie Oldaker. Also still on board on bass is John Regan and Richie Scarlet takes over the spot vacated by Tod.

Fave Songs: Shot Full of Rock, Do Ya, Hide Your Heart and Fractured III

Album cover is pretty cool and worlds ahead of all the Frehley's Comet covers. This isn't the best cover out there. But it's a step in the right direction.

Rating: 5 Stars out of 5
