Montrose - Now Playing

Montrose in their '70s prime on LP!

Part of Rhino's Now Playing Series

Part of Rhino's Now Playing Series! — Montrose was a California-based hard rock band. The band originally featured Ronnie Montrose on guitar and future solo artist and Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar. Rounding out the original foursome were bassist Bill Church and drummer Denny Carmassi.

When they debuted in 1973, Montrose got tagged as "America's answer to Led Zeppelin." But if Zep was rock's golden medieval chalice, Montrose was its frosty can of brew. Led by session guitar whiz Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Sammy Hagar, the California-based quartet traded in wrecking-ball riffs, driving beats, and good-time lyrics. These 10 original recordings are a portrait of Montrose in their '70s prime.
