Footsoldier in the Moonlight

Footsoldier in the Moonlight is the seventh studio album by American rock singer Donnie Iris, released by Seathru on September 9, 1993.

The album was recorded between May 1, 1992 and March 26, 1993. Avsec performed and programmed half of the album (MIDI tracks 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10) at the Cellar in Twinsburg, Ohio. The remaining five tracks were band performances, recorded at Jeree Recording Studio in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. All overdubs were recorded at the latter studio too and mixing took place at Midtown Recording Studios in Cleveland.

At the time of its release, the album received a lukewarm reception from fans and Avsec and Iris later expressed regret about it. Avsec has criticized it as "the worst album we ever made" and recalled for The Story of Donnie Iris and the Cruisers, "Before I started my law career, I tried one last gasp. It was a terrible album. There was no magic in the tracks and the feel on that album is just awful. I was more interested in my legal career."
