Description
Montrose is the debut album by the California-based hard rock band Montrose, released in 1973 on the Warner Bros. label. It was produced by Ted Templeman. The album marks the recording debut of vocalist Sammy Hagar, who would later achieve international success as a solo artist and member of Van Halen. After having done session work for various musicians including Van Morrison, Herbie Hancock and Edgar Winter, Montrose was Ronnie Montrose's first record leading his own band which featured Denny Carmassi on drums, Bill Church on bass and a then-unknown Sammy Hagar ('Sam Hagar') on vocals. Often cited as 'America's answer to Led Zeppelin', it is held highly to be influential among hard rock/heavy metal musicians including Iron Maiden and Van Halen who have recorded and/or performed cover versions of songs from the album. Ronnie Montrose chiefly used a Gibson Les Paul, a Fender Bandmaster amp, and a Big Muff fuzzbox by Electro-Harmonix to record the Montrose album. The album was voted 4th best Metal Album of All Time by Kerrang! magazine in 1989. This is the 1978 (?) US Vinyl Re-issue Pressing on the Warner Bros. label. The catalog # on the spine is: BSK 3106.
