Yer' Album is the debut studio album by the American
rock band James Gang. The album was released in early 1969, on the label Bluesway/ABC. This is the James Gang's only album to feature their bassist Tom Kriss, he was later replaced by Dale Peters for their next album. The album is notable for being the first album to feature guitarist Joe Walsh, who would later achieve great success as a solo artist and with the Eagles.
This album contains three cover songs out of the eleven tracks; Buffalo Springfield's "Bluebird"; "Lost Woman" by the Yardbirds; and "Stop" by Jerry Ragavoy and Mort Schuman, recorded a year earlier by Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield for the Super Session album (albeit without vocals) and Howard Tate.
