Slaughter on 10th Avenue

Slaughter on 10th Avenue is Mick Ronson's 1974 solo debut that spotlights his work as a guitarist and arranger within the glam rock era. The album mixes riff-driven rock with melodic, sometimes cinematic arrangements, emphasizing Ronson's expressive lead guitar, layered production, and a theatrical sense of dynamics that echoes his contributions alongside David Bowie. It marks his transition from sideman to frontman while retaining a dramatic, guitar-centered sound rooted in 1970s glam and rock.
