Petra (album)

Petra (album) is the self-titled debut album by the Christian rock band Petra. It was released in 1974. The album is noted for its raw, progressive rock sound, distinct from the more polished pop-rock style that would characterize Petra's later work. While not a commercial success initially, it laid the foundation for the band's long and influential career in Christian music. Key tracks include "Walkin' in the Light" and "Get Back After You." The album's themes center around faith, salvation, and Christian living. It remains a significant artifact for fans interested in the early history of contemporary Christian music and the evolution of Petra's sound.
