High Priest is the third solo album by American pop rock musician Alex Chilton, released in 1987.[1] It was his first full-length album since 1979's commercially disastrous Like Flies on Sherbert. Chilton fronts a solid band of Memphis/New Orleans studio musicians. The album includes a cover of the 1957 instrumental "Raunchy", which was co-written by Sid Manker, who had taught Chilton guitar in his childhood at his father's expense. To promote High Priest, Chilton played more than 60 concerts between 13 September and 19 December 1987, including numerous shows with Ben Vaughn as the support act. The front cover photograph was taken in Rock River, Wyoming by Anna Lee Van Cleef.[2]

High Priest — третий сольный альбом поп-рок-музыканта Алекса Чилтона, выпущенный в 1987 году[1]. Это был его первый полноформатный альбом после коммерчески провального Like Flies on Sherbert 1979 года. Чилтон возглавляет солидную группу музыкантов из Мемфиса/Нового Орлеана. Альбом включает кавер на инструментальную «Raunchy» 1957 года, написанную в соавторстве с Сидом Манкером, который обучал Чилтона игре на гитаре в детстве за счёт своего отца. Для продвижения High Priest, Чилтон отыграл более 60-ти концертов в период с 13 сентября по 19 декабря 1987 года, включая многочисленные шоу с Беном Воном  (англ.) (рус. на разогреве. Фотография для передней обложки была сделана в Рок-Ривере, штат Вайоминг, Анной Ли Ван Клиф[2].
