Albert Hammond Jr. (from The Strokes) released a solo album entitled "Yours To Keep" in the U.K. through Rough Trade Records on October 9, 2006. Produced by Thin Lizard Dawn vocalist Greg Lattimer and recorded at the Electric Ladyland Studios in New York City, the album features several musical guests, such as Sean Lennon, Ben Kweller, The Strokes' manager Ryan Gentles, Jody Porter of Fountains of Wayne, Chris Feinstein, Mikki James, Sammy James Jr. (The Moony Suzuki) and The Strokes' lead singer Julian Casablancas. Bassist Josh Lattanzi and drummer Matt Romano serve as the backing band, with Hammond on guitar and vocals. The first single taken from the album, "Everyone Gets A Star", was released exclusively through iTunes on September 4, 2006.

He has said to have been "waiting to make a record like this for years". Early support from his fellow bandmates in the Strokes was only evident after Julian Casablancas' role playing bass and back-up vocals on the track "Scared", though all of the members (with the exclusion of Nick Valensi who was busy taking care of his new-born children) attended his shows in and around New York.

"Back To The 101" will be the follow up single to "Everyone Gets a Star". This will be available in general music stores, unlike "Everyone Gets a Star" which was only available through UK iTunes Music Store. This is scheduled for release on 27 November 2006

In November 2006, Albert Hammond Jr was announced to be joining Incubus on tour during their North American tour for their new album "Light Grenades".

According to his MySpace page, the album is due out for a North American release on March 6, 2007.

Also, does anyone know the name of the book that one of the Strokes members released recently?
