Akimbo Alogo is the first full-length solo album from Canadian singer and guitarist Kim Mitchell, released on Alert Records in Canada, and on Bronze Records in other territories, including the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan. The album includes Mitchell's only significant solo hit in the United States, "Go for Soda", a song which has been adopted as an anthem against drunk driving.[1] "All We Are", "Feel it Burn" and "Lager & Ale" also received significant airplay in Canada at the time of the album's release and receive airplay on classic rock radio to this day.
Cover art
The album used different cover art for its release in the United States in 1985. For the UK, Japanese, and European releases of this album, the cover art was altered again due to the cigarette pictured in Mitchell's mouth.Шаблон:Citation needed
