Footsoldier in the Moonlight is the seventh studio album by American rock singer Donnie Iris, released by Seathru on September 9, 1993.

[2] At the time of its release, the album received a lukewarm reception from fans and Avsec and Iris later expressed regret about it.

Avsec has criticized it as "the worst album we ever made" and recalled for The Story of Donnie Iris and the Cruisers, "Before I started my law career, I tried one last gasp.

"[3] Jeff Vorva of the Northwest Herald noted that "unfortunately some of the bite of Iris' earlier solo work is missing" and "he swipes a lot from other artists and songs".

He called "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress" "fun", but felt it was reminiscent of Huey Lewis and the News' "Workin' for a Livin'".
