Stevie Salas Colorcode is the debut album by the Native American guitar player Stevie Salas, released in 1990.[2][3] Colorcode was the name Salas gave to his band.
Salas supported the album by opening for Joe Satriani on a North American tour.[2] The album was a commercial disappointment in the United States, but sold well in international markets.[4] The album's first single was "The Harder They Come".[5]
Recorded in New York, the album was coproduced by Bill Laswell.[6][7] Colorcode included Winston Watson Jr. on drums and C.J. De Villier on bass.[8] Salas wrote or cowrote all of the album's songs; Parthenon Huxley contributed to some of the lyrics.[9][10] Salas was at times fretful during the recording sessions, worried because he had quit lucrative sideman jobs.[11]
