Hit and Run (T.S.O.L. album)
''Hit and Run'' is the fifth studio album by the American rock band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1987 through Enigma Records. It marked a stylistic shift for the band, who departed from their earlier gothic rock and hard rock efforts in favor of a glam metal persona and sound. ''Hit and Run'' was T.S.O.L.'s only release to chart, reaching no. 184 on the ''Billboard'' 200, but the band's new direction alienated their fans in vast numbers and was criticized by reviewers. Enigma found the album difficult to market due to the group's change in musical style and image. It failed to be the commercial breakthrough the members had hoped for, and T.S.O.L. left Enigma as a result.
==Background and recording==
On their 1986 album ''Revenge'', T.S.O.L. had begun to move away from the punk- and gothic rock-influenced sound of their past in favor of simpler rock numbers influenced by the growing hard rock scene in their native Southern California. ''Hit and Run'' was an even further departure, as they adopted a look and sound reflecting the popular glam metal of the era.〔 The album was recorded at Music Grinder Studios and Preferred Sound Studios in Hollywood with recording engineer Jim Faraci and ''Revenge'' producer Howard Benson.〔 It includes a cover version of "Good Mornin' Blues', originally performed by the 1930s/1940s blues artist Lead Belly, which features additional instrumentation in the form of saxophone, congas, and harmonica.〔〔 The song "You Can Try" was dedicated to guitarist Ron Emory's brother William, who died of a heroin overdose in 1986 at age 29.〔〔
''Hit and Run'' was released July 11, 1987 through Enigma Records (catalog number 73263), and T.S.O.L. supported it by touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N' Roses.〔〔〔 They became friends with Guns N' Roses, whose were rising to stardom on the success of their platinum-selling debut album ''Appetite for Destruction'', released ten days after ''Hit and Run''. T.S.O.L.'s opening spot on their tour dates, coupled with Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler wearing a T.S.O.L. T-shirt in the music video for "Sweet Child o' Mine", brought T.S.O.L. increased attention: "I hear more people telling me about seeing our T-shirt every day than anything else we've ever done", said bassist Mike Roche in 1988.〔
