My Favorite Year is the debut solo album by American singer, guitarist and keyboardist Tony Scalzo of Fastball fame. It was engineered by Joe Blaney [es], who helped to engineer The Clash's fifth album Combat Rock.[1] Work on the album started in 2011, when Tony started a Kickstarter program.[1] According to Tony, the songs he co-wrote with his Fastball colleague Miles Zuniga were originally created as Fastball tracks, but were not included in any of the band's records.[1] He defined the genre of the album as "melodic pop".[2]
