Outrider is the debut solo studio album by the English musician Jimmy Page, released on 20 June 1988 by Geffen Records. It is his first time since 1969 he recorded with a record label other than Atlantic Records/Swan Song Records. Page recorded the music at his personal studio The Sol. Robert Plant guests on one track, "The Only One", while John Bonham's son Jason plays drums.
This was originally intended to be a two-album release. However, during the early recording stages of this album, Page's house was broken into and amongst the items stolen were the demo tapes which had been recorded up to that point. Page did not record any demos prior to recording the album itself.
The album reached No. 26 on the Billboard 200 chart, also peaking at No. 27 on the UK Album Chart. The Globe and Mail determined that "Outrider is a mixed bag, ripe with snakelike blues riffs and Page's impeccable use of textures, but hampered by mediocre songwriting."
Years later, Jimmy Page reflected on the album in rather positive terms:
