Solo albums that used multiple members from their main band

Peter Buck’s solo records had songs with Mike Mills, Bill Rieflin, and Scott McCaughey. Only Mills was an official member of REM but the others were longtime touring/recording members.

 

Nico's Chelsea Girl featured Lou Reed, John Cale and Sterling Morrison.

 

Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte

With Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins

 

Technically, there's no such thing as a "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band" album, as he never titled any of them that way.

All of Bruce's albums are solo albums...

 

Jon Anderson - 1000 Hands

Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White

 

Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Bill Bruford, Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Alan White

 

Unless I missed it, no one has yet mentioned the involvement of David Gilmour and Roger Waters in Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs.

 

Neil Young - Zuma has CSN on it.
David Crosby - if I could only remember my name has N & Y on it
Graham Nash. - Songs for beginners has C & Y on it
Stephen Stills - Man Alive has N & Y on it

probably several other CSNY solo projects with multiple members

 

Thought it was implied: none of Bruce's studio albums are credited to the ESB!

 

Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers has Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke from The Byrds (also Clarence White who was in The Byrds post-Clark)
Paul Weller's Wake Up The Nation has Bruce Foxton from The Jam on a couple of tracks
Pete Townshend is on Roger Daltrey's As Long As I Have You

 

All the members of The E Street Band (except Roy Bittan) and Bruce are on Little Steven's Men Without Women while Steve was a member of the band

 

David Byron’s Take No Prisoners featured Box (gt), Hensley (kb) and Kerslake (d) from Uriah Heep whilst the former was still the singer of that band.

 

Of course, Roy was busy with non-E Street projects from about 1976-81: Bowie, Meat Loaf, Stevie Nicks, Dire Straits, Peter Gabriel, etc.

Wiki's entry for Roy isn't exhaustive, but it implies that he didn't do any session work between 1981 and 1996, which seems strange if true.

If he could fit in all that work while recording/touring with Bruce 1976-81, couldn't he find time after that?

 

Here is a more complete list of his session work.

Various Byrds did this, but usually just on a song or two per solo release. Roger McGuinn's first solo album has all five original members on one song, and David Crosby appears on (I think two) others.

McGuinn and Clarence White appear on the first solo LP by Skip Battin, the band's final bass player. White appears on Gene Parsons' Kindling CD, and Crosby and McGuinn both appear on two of Chris Hillman's solo CDs, including his latest one.

Hillman appears on Gene Clark's Firebyrd and No Other LPs, Crosby and Hillman appear on McGuinn's Back from Rio CD, and as Dunedin said, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers has Hillman, Michael Clarke, and White.

I don't think any other Byrd has ever appeared on one of Crosby's post-Byrds records, though. Anyone know Crosby's discography well enough to say for sure?

 

The threads ask for multiple other bandmates, not just one.

 

Blind Faith helped out Ric Grech on his solo album

 

And David and Rick on "Barrett."

Not to mention - on "Music From The Body", 'Give Birth To A Smile' is Pink Floyd, uncredited.
