Trouble Walkin is a 1989 solo album released by Ace Frehley. The album features guest performances by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss, as well as Skid Row members Sebastian Bach, Rachel Bolan and Dave Sabo.
The album peaked at number 102 on the Billboard 200 chart. The lone single, a cover of The Move's "Do Ya", did not chart. "Hide Your Heart", co-written by Paul Stanley, first appeared on Bonnie Tyler's Hide Your Heart album, and later appeared on Kiss' Hot in the Shade, which was released four days later. Lead vocals for "2 Young 2 Die" were provided by rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Richie Scarlet. Former Kiss drummer Peter Criss was thanked for his contributions which were limited to backing vocals on "Hide Your Heart", "Trouble Walkin'", "2 Young 2 Die" and "Back to School".
The song "Trouble Walkin'" (which became the album's title) was written by Bill Wray and Phil Brown. Although it wasn't written for Ace Frehley, the song describes a character that is a dangerous "walking disaster" which seemed to fit the New York persona of the solo artist. The song didn't stem from Ace Frehley's then-humorous balance issues or a self-ascribed Spaceman "slowly getting used to [Earth's gravity]".
UK-based company Rock Candy Records reissued this album on CD in 2014.
All lead vocals by Ace Frehley, except where noted.
