"Lost in Hollywood" comes from Down to Earth, the 1979 album Rainbow cut after a shake-up that rebuilt the band around Ritchie Blackmore and drummer Cozy Powell. Blackmore had fired his bassist and his keyboard player, Ronnie James Dio had quit, and in came Roger Glover, Blackmore's old Deep Purple bandmate, to play bass and run the sessions as producer. The three of them share the writing credit, and Gary Edwards engineered.
Graham Bonnet takes the lead vocal on the only album he ever made with Rainbow, with Don Airey on keyboards and Blackmore on guitar. It was Powell's last record with the band and the one time Rainbow's lineup was British from top to bottom, on an album that steered the group toward a more commercial sound.
