The Visitor is the debut solo album by Mick Fleetwood, released by RCA Records in 1981. All the songs were recorded in Accra, Ghana between January and February 1981 at the "Ghana Film Industries, Inc. Studio" and produced by Richard Dashut, and were later mixed in various studios in England. The album contains a mixture of covers songs and original material written by George Hawkins and Todd Sharp, both of whom provided some of the album's instrumentation. Several Ghanaian musicians and ensembles also participated in the recording sessions, including Ebaali Gbiko, Adjo Group, and The Superbrains.
The album peaked at number 43 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and has been re-released several times, including a US CD release by Wounded Bird Records on October 18, 2011.
