Randy Meisner : Randy Meisner

ALL ALONE AT THE END

 OF THE EVENING

AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS

HAVE FADED TO BLUE

I WAS THINKING 'BOUT A WOMAN

WHO MIGHT HAVE LOVED ME

AND I NEVER KNEW

 Randy Meisner 

is the

 self-titled

 debut solo

 studio album

 by

 Randy Meisner

 It was released in

 mid 1978,

 on Asylum

 in the

 United States, 

and in

 the United Kingdom. 

The track

 "Bad Man", 

was featured

 in the film 

FM, 

which also included 

an appearance by

 his 

one-time employer 

Linda Ronstadt.

Critical Reception

Retrospectively 

reviewing for AllMusic, 

critic

 Bruce Eder

 wrote of the album

 "The songs run between 

the extremes of fluid,

 guitar-driven rockers

 ("Bad Man," "Every Other Day") 

and ballads

 draped in 

flowing lyricism 

with harmony singing 

("Daughter of the Sky"),

 including major contributions

 from his one-time

 teenage bandmate 

Donny Ullstrom. 

Apart from a 

somewhat 

dullish rendition

 of 

"Save the Last Dance for Me," 

the album works well, 

particularly a 

soulful and highly

 personalized rendition

 of

 "Take It to the Limit."
