Twenty years after the Violent Femmes helped define the sound of underground '80s and '90s rock, lead singer Gordon Gano goes it alone.

Hitting the Ground, Gordon Gano's solo debut, is a solid collection of songs written for some of rock music's most influential and notable figures, including PJ Harvey, the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed and John Cale, Frank Black, They Might Be Giants, Mary Lou Lord, and others!

As the mastermind behind infamous now-classics like "Blister in the Sun," "Kiss Off" and "Add it Up," Gordon Gano gave a quivering voice to geek-like vulnerability, sexually charged eager frustration, and combative youth. However, don't expect to hear only that notorious voice on Hitting the Ground. Written almost entirely for other vocalists, and originally conceived as the soundtrack to a movie of the same name, this remarkably cohesive, fiercely rockin' album is indicative of Gano's undeniable songwriting talents. Bringing everything full circle, Hitting the Ground was co-produced by Warren A. Bruleigh, the engineer and producer behind nearly half of the Violent Femmes' albums. Full track listing as follows :

1. P.J. Harvey - "Hitting The Ground"
2. Mary Lou Lord - "Oh, Wonder"
3. Gordon Gano - "Make It Happen"
4. John Cale - "Don't Pretend"
5. Lou Reed - "Catch 'Em In The Act"
6. Linda Perry - "So It Goes"
7. Frank Black - "Run"
8. They Might Be Giants - "Darlin' Allison"
9. Cynthia Gayneau - "Merry Christmas Brother"
10. Gordon Gano/Martha Wainright - "It's Money"
11. Gordon Gano - "Hitting the ground"
