}}Greg Lake is the debut studio album by English rock singer and guitarist Greg Lake, released in the United Kingdom on 25 September 1981 by Chrysalis Records.[2] In contrast to progressive rock of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, the groups, which Lake had been member of, this album is characterized by a guitar-driven straightforward hard rock sound. The change in musical style is explained by his desire to perform as a guitarist rather than playing bass.[1]

In order to produce the album, Lake teamed up with a string of prominent musicians, such as Gary Moore, Clarence Clemons and Toto members Steve Lukather, David Paich and Jeff Porcaro. Moore played a major role and wrote one song, "Nuclear Attack". In 1993, when the album was finally released on CD (in Japan), it was re-titled Greg Lake & Gary Moore.

Reception

Marc Loren has given Greg Lake a retrospective rating of three stars out of five on AllMusic. He has described it as a "powerful and enjoyable album", which contains "well written songs and some sizzling guitar work by Gary Moore", and has praised Lake's production skills.[1]

Greg Lake charted in the United Kingdom and the United States, reaching the same number 62 spot in both countries. Several songs were released as singles in different territories. "Let Me Love You Once Before You Go", a cover of the 1977 song written by Steve Dorff and Molly Ann Leikin for Dusty Springfield, was issued in the United States and peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] "Nuclear Attack" was a minor radio hit and reached number 34 on the Mainstream Rock chart.[4]
