About Fish out of Water

Fish Out of Water is the first studio album from the English bassist, singer and songwriter Chris Squire, released in November 1975 on Atlantic Records. The album was recorded during a period of inactivity by his progressive rock band Yes following the band's agreement that each member produce a solo album. Squire hired additional musicians to play on his, including Bill Bruford, Patrick Moraz, Mel Collins, his childhood friend Andrew Pryce Jackman, and an orchestra. Fish Out of Water was a moderate commercial success upon its release, reaching number 25 in the UK and number 69 in the U. S. Despite the album being well received by music critics, Squire would not release another solo album until Chris Squire's Swiss Choir (2007). more »
