Livin' on the Run is the second album by actor/singer/songwriter Scott Grimes. Released in early 2005, it produced the single "Sunset Blvd", which peaked at number 18 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart in April 2005.^[1]

History

After 16 years between albums (his first release was the 1989 A&M album Scott Grimes), Grimes released this collection of material. Most of the songs were written years prior to the album's release. Grimes' career as an actor kept him busy with little time to pursue his first love of music. The album was recorded with L.A.-area studio musicians and would go on to become even more successful than his debut record.
