Along the Red Ledge is the seventh studio album by Hall & Oates, released in 1978. The greatest hit from the LP was "It's a Laugh" (U.S. #20, Canada #23). The follow-up single was "I Don't Wanna Lose You" (U.S. #42).
This album foreshadowed what was to come in a few years for the duo, as the duo shed previous producer Christopher Bond and went with a more polished sound with David Foster. The album is the first studio album where Hall & Oates used their road band in the studio (previously they would rely heavily on session musicians), a trend they would carry through their heyday of the early 1980s.
George Harrison, of The Beatles, plays guitar on the track "The Last Time." Todd Rundgren also plays on this album, as does Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. Robert Fripp, of King Crimson, plays on the track "Don't Blame It On Love."
