Petra is the first studio release of the Christian rock band of the same name. It was released in 1974.
The album features a style bordering between country and southern rock somewhat similar to The Eagles or Lynyrd Skynyrd[1], which was the band's trademark during its first years.
The album is very raw, lacking the producing values of future releases. The album was recorded on a limited budget of $1,000 and during the span of 2 weeks[2].
The album also lacks the presence of a lead singer per se. During its first years, the lead vocals in the band were featured by guitarists Bob Hartman and Greg Hough.
