Sleepwalker (The Kinks album)

Sleepwalker is the sixteenth studio album by the English rock group, the Kinks, released in 1977, and their first album for the Arista label.

Sleepwalker marked a return to straight-ahead, self-contained rock songs after several years of concept albums. It is the first album in what critics usually call the "arena rock" phase of the group, in which more commercial and mainstream production techniques would be employed. The lineup of the Kinks also was trimmed down as the brass section and backup singers were removed and the band returned to a standard rock band outfit.

The album also marks the last appearance of bassist John Dalton, who worked with the band since 1969 and left the band during the album's recording sessions.
