About this album

Back On The Streets is Donnie Iris’s sharp, hook-heavy breakthrough, with the single “Ah! Leah!” turning him from regional favourite into a national rock name. Released in 1980, the album blends pop-rock immediacy with classic-rock muscle, built around tight melodies, ringing guitars and Iris’s exuberant vocal style. Issued after his earlier work with The Jaggerz and Wild Cherry, it established his solo identity and became the record most closely associated with his name. Its enduring reputation rests on the strength of its songwriting and the way it captures early-’80s radio rock at its most direct and accessible.

Genre: Pop & Rock
