Fish Out of Water (Chris Squire album)

Fish Out of Water is the debut studio album by English bassist and songwriter Chris Squire, released in November 1975 by Atlantic Records. The album was recorded during a period in which each band member of Yes had taken downtime to produce a solo album. Some of the musicians Squire hired for the project were former Yes drummer Bill Bruford, then-Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz, King Crimson saxophonist Mel Collins and Canterbury scene flautist Jimmy Hastings. Squire's former bandmate in the Syn, Andrew Pryce Jackman, played piano and orchestrated the material.

Fish Out of Water reached No. 25 in the UK and No. 69 in the U.S. Despite its being well received by critics, Squire would not record another solo album until 2007, releasing an album which consists of traditional Christmas music entitled Chris Squire's Swiss Choir, so that this is Squire's only album to feature original material.
