Well, over on the Sea of Tranquility page on Youtube this month, they talked about their favorite solo albums, meaning albums made by musicians either after they left their band, or they did it during off time. There's several great albums out there, but these are the ones that I picked. Could've picked others, but this is my list. I thnk there's some good ones here. I didn't really rank these, just listed what came to my head in the moment:

#28: Don Henley - End Of The Innocence
#27: Billy Gibbons - Hardware
#26: John Fogerty - Revival
#25: Glenn Hughes - Resonate
#24: Warren Haynes - Man In Motion
#23: Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky
#22: Curtis Mayfield - Super Fly
#21: Chris Stapleton - Traveller
#20: John Lennon - Double Fantasy
#19: Leslie West -Unusual Suspects
#18: Paul Rodgers - Muddy Water Blues
#17: Peter Gabriel - So
#16: Paul Simon - Graceland
#15: Darius Rucker - Back To Then
#14: Peter Frampton - Fingerprints
#13: Slash - Slash
#12: Tom Keifer - The Way Life Goes
#11: Joe Walsh - But Seriously Folks

#05: Duff McKagan - Loaded
#04: Jeff Beck - Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop
#03: Rod Stewart - Vagabond Heart
#02: Neil Young - After The Gold Rush
#01: Tom Petty - Wildflowers
Great list - I would add Fish Out of Water, Chris Squire; 6 wives of Henry VIII, Rick Wakeman; Blue Jays, John Hayward
….there was another Moodies solo one from around then, don’t recall title/musician
….of course Laid Back, Highway Call - from later, Collectors Vol I, & Low Country Blues
Ace more often than not is the granddaddy of em all for me (solo records) - also McCartney, ATMPass…..it’s countless really
currently, Duane Betts’ Wild & Precious Life - the more stuff Duane puts out, the better it sounds, whether Allman-Betts, solo, whatever
great to see Allman-Betts doing some shows, Bless Your Heart is a fantastic album - growing still🎶🎸🎼
@stephen The Gregg Allman Tour with guest Cowboy is an album I got in 1974 and still enjoy hearing occasionally today.
It's live and Gregg is in excellent form and great play from Chuck on piano, Jaimoe and Bill Stewart on drums, Tommy Talton on guitar including slide guitar plus other fine musicians.
So I would add that one to my list and I like most of the 30 above.
Absolutely, good call robertdee, that version of Dreams is my all time fave live one, even more than/just as much as 2/28/71 Brewer Fldhse, 9/19/71 Stonybrook….great album
