Prisoner

Prisoner is the sixteenth studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on October 22, 1979, by Casablanca Records. The album was a commercial failure and failed to chart. "Hell on Wheels" was released as the lead single and had a moderate success, peaking at number fifty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Los Angeles Times deemed Prisoner Cher's "most interesting album yet," writing that "the direction is rock-ish rather than hard-core disco." The Modesto Bee labeled it "danceable—but not particularly memorable—rock 'n' roll." Cash Box considered the album "a tasty confection of MOR disco, softcore pop and a toot or two of big band," and that "Cher's mannish vocal style dominates all tracks," a style described as "well suited for the album's 'get tough' lyrics."
