Come and Join Us is the second studio release of the Christian rock band Petra. It was released in 1977.
The album continues with a style similar to the one of their previous album, which is something between country and southern rock. However, the music is more rock-oriented, and the lyrics show more depth.
Also - like their previous album - there is no lead singer per se. Instead, the lead vocals are handled by guitarists Bob Hartman and Greg Hough, and some guest singers. Curiously, one of the guest singers is Greg X. Volz who would later become the band's full-time singer.

Very 70's| Posted November 15, 2012
Petra's 2nd release, Come and Join Us is a bit more contemporary than their first. This one has more of a contemporary, 70's pop sound to it. Greg X. Volz, who wasn't yet a full time member, leads vocals for a few songs, including "God Gave Rock and Roll to You", which would be later recorded on their 1984 album "Beat the System". This album was originally gonna be titled "God Gave Rock and Roll to You", but there was too much controversy at the time.
Overall, this is a good album if you like the 70's sound. The Best Tracks are "Come and Join Us", and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You".
