Spaceman represents the sixth solo studio album by American guitarist Ace Frehley, which was released on October 19, 2018. The album features a collaboration with Frehley's ex-Kiss colleague Gene Simmons, who co-authored two songs and played bass on the opening track, "Without You I'm Nothing." Simmons also co-wrote "Your Wish Is My Command," a track initially intended for Kiss, and was responsible for naming the album.
This album was issued with three distinct cover variations.
Album information
Spaceman signifies a partial reunion with Gene Simmons, who participated both in songwriting and performing. The song "Rockin' with the Boys" has origins linked to a title mentioned back in 1981 for a forthcoming Kiss record. In a 2018 interview, Frehley disclosed that the chorus was originally penned in the 1970s, but he refined several versions over the years before finalizing it for this release.
