Mike Harrison (album)


Mike Harrison is the first solo album by Spooky Tooth principal lead singer Mike Harrison, released on Island Records in 1971.

History and Critical Reaction

Mike Harrison was recorded and released after Spooky Tooth had broken up for the first time, following the release of their album The Last Puff in 1970. Harrison's backing band on the album was the Carlisle band Junkyard Angel. The band included Frank Kenyon, with whom Harrison had played in the V.I.P.s between 1963 and 1967, prior to co-founding Spooky Tooth. Another Member of Junkyard Angel, Ian Herbert, would later join Harrison as the bass player in a reformed version of Spooky Tooth, during the 1972-1973 period.
In 2017, the album was re-released as part of a two CD package containing Harrison's three solo albums.
