Out Here on My Own is the debut studio album by singer Lamont Dozier released on the ABC label.




Reception



Ron Wynn of AllMusic stated "It was one of the better combinations of socio-political commentary and urgent soul vocals done in the period. The title cut, as well as the single "Fish Ain't Bitin" and "Out Here On My Own," were sizable hits."




Chart performance


First in December 1973, the album peaked at No. 54 on the Hot Soul albums chart. Its final position was at #17. The single, Trying to Hold on to My Woman, was featured on this album. It reached No. 4 on the U.S. R&B chart and No. 15 on the U.S. pop chart in 1974. The song ranked at No. 87 on Billboard magazine's Top 100 singles of 1974. Another single, "Fish Ain't Bitin'", peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 26 on the R&B singles chart.
