Try Anything Once

Try Anything Once is the first solo album created by Alan Parsons following the split of The Alan Parsons Project. This album features vocals by Ambrosia's David Pack, Duran Duran backing singer Jacqui Copland, Former Mindbender and 10cc guitarist Eric Stewart, and Manfred Mann's Earth Band frontman Chris Thompson. The album takes a different turn from the previously ethereal Project albums and combines rock elements (Back Against The Wall, Breakaway), mood-oriented beats (Turn It Up, I'm Talking To You), while still retaining certain elements of the Project that are unique (Mr. Time, Wine From The Water).
