Bareback is the first album by the American rock band Wild Horses.

Shortly before the recording of this album, former Shout lead vocalist John Levesque replaced the band's original lead vocalist Johnny Edwards, who left to replace Lou Gramm in the band Foreigner.

They eventually reunited in 2002, recording their second album Dead Ahead, which was released in 2003.

Bassist Jeff Pilson is credited as an additional musician.

Jeff Pilson and James Kottak had previously played together in Michael Lee Firkins's backing band and later played together in the McAuley Schenker Group.
