Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds is the debut solo album by American rock and roll musician Izzy Stradlin, released after his departure from Guns N' Roses.[6] It is his only album under the Ju Ju Hounds moniker.

Overview

Released in 1992, Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds spawned two Top 20 rock radio hits: "Shuffle It All" and "Somebody Knockin'." The album was mixed in Copenhagen.[7]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the debut "a surprisingly strong album that dramatically shows the rootsy sensibility [Stradlin] brought to G n’ R. It sounds like a good Keith Richards solo album (and is actually much better than the album Richards released around the same time)."[8] The album was named 16th album of the year by Kerrang! magazine in 1992.[9]
