Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. Ten Original Songs From Lou Written With Former Black Sheep Member Bruce Turgon, The Album Features Appearances From Tony Franklin On Bass For The Track 'Long Gone' And Vivian Campbell On Guitar For Opening Track, 'Young Love', Alongside Long-Term Musical Associates, Such As Lou's Brother Ben On Drums. Hailing from Rochester, New York, Lou Gramm was born into a highly musical family, and his first significant band was the bluesy hard rockers Black Sheep, who released two underrated records for Capitol. Lou first met his future band mate Mick Jones when Black Sheep played a hometown show with the band Spooky Tooth, then featuring Mick, in 1975. The pair would eventually team up in 1976 as Foreigner for a string of multi-platinum albums and chart topping hit singles. In fact they were the first band since The Beatles to have their first eight singles reach the US Top 20. While still a member of Foreigner, Lou embarked upon a solo career, releasing 'Ready Or Not' in 1987, which featured the huge solo hit, 'Midnight Blue'. It was followed by another smash solo album, 1989's 'Long Hard Look' featuring the hit, 'Just Between You And Me'. Now in 2026, Lou releases his long awaited third solo offering, the much anticipated, and suitably titled, 'Released'. Produced by Lou himself, 'Released' can stand proudly alongside Lou's previous solo albums, as well as his matchless recordings with Foreigner. The album also features 'True Blue Love (Unplugged)', which had originally appeared on 'Long Hard Look' back in 1989. Reconnecting with his former Foreigner band mates, Lou contributed words and vocals for the new song 'Turning Back The Time' to coincide with Foreigner's induction into the Rock And Rock Hall Of Fame in 2024, and also the unreleased 'Fool If You Love Him' for the latest Foreigner '4' box set in 2025.
