Bareback is the first album by the American rock band Wild Horses.

Contents

Shortly before the recording of this album, former Shout lead vocalist John Levesque replaced original Wild Horses lead vocalist Johnny Edwards, who left Wild Horses to replace Lou Gramm in the band Foreigner.

Apparently, this band split up after the release of this album and reunited years later before recording and releasing their second album Dead Ahead.

There have been claims that bassist Jeff Pilson actually played all of the bass on this album.

Jeff Pilson and James Kottak had previously played together in Michael Lee Firkins's backing band and later played together in the McAuley Schenker Group.
