Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds is the debut studio album by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Unlike future albums released by Stradlin, this one was released under a band name: Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds.

Overview

Released in 1992, the Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds album spawned two Top 20 rock radio hits: "Shuffle It All" and "Somebody Knockin'". When the album was released, Stradlin had not yet signed a recording contract; he commented, "Putting out a record and still not having signed a record contract. That's pretty amazing, right? Having a record out but no record deal—only in America! 'It doesn't matter, just get this shit out!'" Although the album was given generally positive reviews, Stradlin decided to try to keep the album out of the mainstream due to his previous experiences with Guns N' Roses.[citation needed]
