Trouble Walkin' is the fourth full-length solo album released by Ace Frehley. No longer under the band name Frehley's Comet the album features guest performances by former Kiss drummer Peter Criss, as well as Skid Row members Sebastian Bach, Rachel Bolan and Dave Sabo.
The album peaked at #102 on the Billboard 200 chart. The lone single, a cover of The Move's "Do Ya", did not chart. "Hide Your Heart", co-written by Paul Stanley, first appeared on Bonnie Tyler's Hide Your Heart album, and later appeared Kiss' Hot in the Shade, released the same month as this album. Lead vocals for "2 Young 2 Die" were provided by rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Richie Scarlet. Former Kiss drummer Peter Criss was thanked for his contributions which were limited to backing vocals on "Trouble Walkin'", "2 Young 2 Die" and "Back to School".
UK-based company Rock Candy Records reissued this album on CD in 2014.
