"Skullduggery" is the ninth studio album by the Canadian-American rock band Steppenwolf, released in 1976. It marked a departure from the band's earlier hard rock sound, incorporating elements of country rock and blues.
The album features a mix of original compositions and cover songs, including the single "Hold Your Head Up," a cover of the Argent song, which became a modest hit for the band. Other notable tracks include "Annie, Annie Over," "Five Finger Discount," and "Two for the Love of One."
"Skullduggery" showcases a more laid-back and eclectic musical approach compared to Steppenwolf's earlier albums. The band explores different musical styles while still retaining their signature gritty rock sound. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the album has developed a cult following among fans of classic rock.
Overall, "Skullduggery" represents a transitional period for Steppenwolf as they experimented with new sounds and directions in their music, reflecting the changing landscape of rock music in the mid-1970s.
