Crash And Burn is a music album released by the Pat Travers Band on Polydor Records in 1980.

Crash And Burn was the Pat Travers Band's highest-charting release, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard album chart. The album featured the single " Snortin' Whiskey", co-written by Travers and fellow band member guitarist Pat Thrall. This song became a significant hit on American FM radio in 1980, reaching the number one position on playlists all over the country. The album's title track was also issued as a single, but wasn't as successful as " Snortin' Whiskey". The song "Crash And Burn" was a departure from Pat Travers' usual guitar-oriented material, and was basically a keyboard song driven by the band's dynamic rhythm section of Peter "Mars" Cowling on bass, and legendary drummer Tommy Aldridge.

Other standout tracks include a cover of " Born Under A Bad Sign", originally done by Albert King, and "(Your Love) Can't Be Right", which was also released as a single. The Bob Marley song " Is This Love?" was also included, and featured Dawn Shahan on backing vocals. The album was indeed a great commercial success, but many fans and critics alike cite several of the musician's other releases to be better overall projects. The album propelled the Pat Travers Band into headlining status in the United States, but was the last recorded work to feature the popular line-up of Aldridge, Cowling, and Thrall. It earned gold record status initially, and later with the advent of compact discs, was reissued and achieved platinum record status.

The album was recorded at Quadradial Studios in Miami, Florida from June 1979 to January 1980 during breaks from touring. Final mixes were done at Bayshore Studios in Coconut Grove, Florida, in February 1980, and the album was released in April 1980.

Crash and Burn is the third studio album by John Foxx and Louis Gordon, released in 2003. The duo did a series of live performances to promote the album, as well as supporting The Human League on their "Very Best Of" tour the same year.

The album was re-released on 29 November 2010 as a double-disc edition with the original tracks remastered and a bonus disc featuring five previously unreleased tracks, namely "Labyrinth Generator", "Storm Warning", "Broadway Submarine", "Dust And Light (Live)" and "Invisible Women V2 (Live)", as well as material from 2003's limited edition "Drive EP". The accompanying booklet was expanded to twenty pages, and includes all of the lyrics.

A similar double disc edition of Foxx and Gordon's album Sideways was also released on the same date.

In the UK, the song reached #14, while in the US the song peaked at number 24.
