Trouble Walkin’ by Ace Frehley

Trouble Walkin', Ace Frehley's 1989 solo album for Megaforce, has Eddie Kramer producing and a few old and new friends at the mike. Former Kiss drummer Peter Criss sings backing vocals on four songs, and Skid Row's Sebastian Bach, Rachel Bolan and Dave Sabo drop by too. The title track came from outside writers Bill Wray and Phil Brown, but its portrait of a walking disaster fit Frehley's New York rock-and-roll persona like a glove.

The rest is meat-and-potatoes hard rock with plenty of Ace's trademark flash on guitar. Rhythm guitarist Richie Scarlet takes the lead vocal on "2 Young 2 Die", and "Hide Your Heart", co-written by Paul Stanley, also turned up on a Bonnie Tyler album and on Kiss' own Hot in the Shade. A cover of the Move's "Do Ya" was the lone single, but it didn't chart, and the album stalled at 102 on the Billboard 200.
