I'm not sure if he's ever done a solo album, though I remember that
Wachtel teamed up with some other studio pros around '79 or '80 for an
album under the group name of Ronin; Wachtel being the lead singer, if
memory serves. It's been probably twenty years since I've heard anything
from it, though I remember it actually being halfway decent; kinda
Stonesy, I think. I see the album turn up in used bins once in a great
while.
