Greg Lake by Greg Lake

Greg Lake is the debut studio album by English rock singer and guitarist Greg Lake, released in the United Kingdom on 25 September 1981 by Chrysalis Records. In contrast to progressive rock of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the groups, which Lake had been member of, this album is characterized by a guitar-driven straightforward hard rock sound. The change in musical style is explained by his desire to perform as a guitarist rather than playing bass.In order to produce the album, Lake teamed up with a string of prominent musicians, such as Gary Moore, Clarence Clemons and Toto members Steve Lukather, David Hungate and Jeff Porcaro. Moore played a major role and wrote one song, "Nuclear Attack". In 1993, when the album was finally released on CD (in Japan), it was re-titled Greg Lake & Gary Moore.
