Cool. And if you follow the links in my sig I have about 15 albums where I sing, play drum kit, keyboard, bass, guitar, warr guitar, harmonica, violin, trumpet, saxophones.. (follow-up plug!
)
Tame Impala, Of Montreal, Elliott Smith... they are all one guy playing pretty much everything on every album (including real drums). There are a lot more examples...
I do prefer my solo albums to be actual damn solo albums. If you need the help of other instrumentalists, and you're arranging all their parts, fine. If you are getting other people to sing lead... I feel like you're crossing some line. It's like getting top billing in a "solo play" but somebody else is playing the lead role.
