Glad you enjoyed man! Jay (the lead singer for Crazy Horses) is my dad. 😊 🤘🏻 😎

Wow I guess Jay Osmond himself (and now Donny too!) just posted this video on their pages. This can’t be real life! 😃😃😃🎸

Wayne Osmond deserves a HUGE amount of credit for their hard, metal sounds.

The Osmonds are the most under appreciated, under-recognized rock bands of all time. AMAZING vocals, amazing musicianship and great arrangements.

My brother worked security for an Osmond concert in the early to mid 1970s and said the Osmonds were genuinely gracious and respectful of the team it took to put on a show and wanted to meet everyone and personally thank them for their efforts. Immense talent and well-mannered musicians: that's what we need more of!

It takes a real man to admit he loves Osmonds' music. This is a cool guitar show.

I love hearing you say, "There wasn't a dud on the album". We Osmond fans have taken a lot of guff over the years. But we have known The Osmonds have been amazing for years! It's great seeing the younger people getting turned on to our music!

This is what we Osmond fans have been trying to tell people for years. They were so under rated and are much more talented than they were ever given credit for! They each play numerous instruments, dance, sing, act…in addition to writing some awesome songs.

The Osmonds are one of the most underrated musical families ever. The vocals, musical abilities, and complex musicality of their work are unmistakable. They are still relevant in show business. A few years ago, Donny was introduced to a whole new generation via The Masked Singer because of one thing and one thing only. His amazing voice.

This was an OUTSTANDING album by the Osmonds. My favorite by them as a band -- I always thought they were HIGHLY underrated. If nothing else the entire range of their catalog demonstrates their multi-genre talents & abilities!

Down By The Lazy River still crushes to this day

[pamyamane]

What do John Bonham, Ozzy Osborne and Paul McCartney all have in common? They are fans of the Osmonds.
Led Zeppelin invited the Osmonds to perform on stage with them at Wembley..and they did!

I stream drumming and take random requests. A follower requested "Crazy Horses" and I thought I was being pranked until I heard it and jumped in. I was blown away, and simply could't wrap my head around the idea that it was the Osmonds. Just added it to my Apple Music collection; I can't believe I'd never heard it before. I'm legitimately impressed.

[stevesmith]

The first singer on Crazy Horses is Jay Osmond (also co-writer). He's a kick ass drummer too!

[GarrettWatts]

This is so sick. Ha, I’m really stoked to hear this song now. I just listened to this song by then called “before the beginning” that my dad used to love growing up and ended up here. This is just very cool to hear this broken down.

The Osmonds have never really received their proper due because of the focus on their first few Rick Hall-produced singles and the Donny Osmond 50s love songs. When the Osmonds took over their own song writing, instrumentals and production, they created some great rock tracks like "My Drum" (Phase 3), "Crazy Horses, " "Hold Her Tight" (Crazy Horses), "Traffic in My Mind, " "One Way Ticket to Anywhere, " (The Plan), "Gotta Get Love" (Brainstorm). Because the Osmonds were so versatile and--unlike most bands--could play in many different genres and weren't afraid to play old or "uncool" songs, they were difficult to categorize. Incompetent writers and critics would just compare them (unfavorably) to the Jackson 5, based only on "One Bad Apple" and "Double Lovin' " and classic radio stations have all but banned the Osmonds from their play lists. Thank goodness for astute listeners like you who can judge the music based on its merits.

I think the album should be re released for its 50th anniversary in a special color vinyl or picture disc.🎸🔥

Love this! I have always been a big Osmond fan - and I'm a guy! It's always about the talent for me - I am never afraid or embarrassed to call out their level of talent. Yes, Crazy Horses is a GREAT album (also "The Plan") - but let's also not forget their incredible layered harmonies. SO beautiful. The sad thing to all of this, in my opinion, is that so many folks never got the chance to recognize and appreciate the Osmonds...because of the manufactured bubblegum "image" that was hard for them to escape. It's a fickle business and if you really love music, you have to look beyond that. Heck, I'm gay and they are Mormon - and I still look beyond all that in order to find the beauty that lies deep inside genuine talent. I think there's a lesson in there somewhere. :-)

WOW. Thanks for this. It can be pretty lonely being an Osmond Fan and having to deal with the whole 'Donny and Marie' thing. Congratulations for having an open mind and thank you for being 'brave' enough to share this. You have made my year.

After band practice last night, somebody said we should add an obscure song. I showed them the video for Crazy Horses. The drummer was blown away by how this pre-dates a lot of metal. He’s 59 and never heard it. The bass player was skeptical about if it wasn’t faked. I’m going to push for doing it, and the drummer was up for doing it after 20 seconds of hearing it. Rocking tune.
