Any Road Up is the debut studio album by The Steve Gibbons Band.[1] The band were under The Who's management stable and this album was released by Polydor in 1976.[2] This was followed by a tour with The Who in the UK, Europe and the United States. Playing arenas, they shared the stage with Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Electric Light Orchestra, The J. Geils Band and Nils Lofgren.[3]
The album failed to chart while the song "Johnny Cool" (based on the film of the same name) reached the Billboard Hot 100, stalling at number 72.[4]
