Contents
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.
