Out of the Blue is the sixth album by American rock singer Donnie Iris, released in 1992.[2] The album is partly a 'best-of' collection as it consists of seven previously released tracks and six new songs ("Love Whispers," "On Our Way to Paradise," "Be Still My Heart," "Stray Cat," "The Mad Siberian" and "Temptation").[3] These six tracks were originally recorded for the band's unreleased 1986 album Cruise Control, and were remixed for this release.[4]
