Crazy Horses (album)


Crazy Horses is the fourth studio album by the American singing group The Osmonds, released in 1972. It reached number 14 on the Billboard Top LPs chart on December 23, 1972. Two singles were released in support of the album, "Hold Her Tight" and "Crazy Horses", both of which reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on January 24, 1973.
Building upon the band's previous album Phase III, Crazy Horses was primarily hard rock in nature. It was cited by author Chuck Eddy as one of The Five Hundred Best Heavy Metal Albums in the Universe. It also saw a reduced vocal role for Donny Osmond, who as a preteen had been the group's co-lead singer but whose voice was beginning to lower because of puberty; Alan, Wayne and Jay each took portions of the lead vocals on some of the songs.
