Out of My Tree is the first solo album by English musician John Sykes, released on 21 August 1995.[2]
After Sykes's previous band Blue Murder was dropped by Geffen Records, he signed a new recording contract with the Japanese branch of Mercury Records.[3] Viewing this as a fresh start, the band was renamed Sykes. Out of My Tree was recorded essentially live in the studio to preserve the arrangements in concert.[4]
Out of My Tree reached number seven on the Japanese charts.[2] The track "I Don't Wanna Live My Life Like You" was released as a single.
