The Lone Ranger is the debut solo album by Suggs, lead singer of the English second wave ska band Madness. It was released in 1995[1] and peaked at No. 14 in the UK Albums Chart.[5] The album contains five singles which reached the UK Singles Chart, including covers of The Beatles' "I'm Only Sleeping"[6] and Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia", the latter being Suggs' highest-charting solo single to date.[6] The album track "4 am" was later re-recorded and appears on the 1999 Madness album Wonderful.
The Lone Ranger was reissued in 1996 with new artwork, a reordered track listing and including the single "No More Alcohol", a reworked version of the original album track "Alcohol". The album was reissued again in 2016 by Cherry Red Records as a two-CD deluxe edition, reverting back to its original cover.[7]
