Hour of the Wolf is the eighth studio album by Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf. The album was released in September 1975, by Epic Records. Andy Chapin replaced original keyboardist Goldy McJohn on the album.
Reception
AllMusic gave the album a negative retrospective review, saying the songs are all competent but adhere too closely to Steppenwolf formulas that had already been played out.
Hour Of The Wolf did not have a signature hit single like their previous albums did. "Caroline. . .," written by Mars Bonfire, was released as a single but failed to chart.
