Bareback Ride is the second album by the American alternative rock band Walt Mink, released in 1993.

Bareback Ride was the last album with the original band lineup of John Kimbrough, Candice Belanoff and Joey Waronker.

[6] Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Astonishingly derivative of ’60s Brit-pop (the Kinks at their most cloying) and ’70s prog-rock (don’t ask), Walt Mink can’t be serious, and that’s the trio’s appeal.

"[4] The Washington Post wrote that "these 10 songs are pithy -- there's not a 10-minute drum solo to be found -- and [John] Kimbrough's wispy voice recalls the feyness of neo-psychedelic pop bands like the Three O'Clock.

"[7] Trouser Press thought that "Kimbrough weaves a simple, busy web of guitar, roaring just as loudly but concentrating his efforts into metallic vignettes rather than functionally stable textures.
