Open Fire is the debut studio album by American musician, guitarist and session musician Ronnie Montrose, released in 1978. The album contains jazz, rock and acoustic music concepts similar to those of Blow by Blow by Jeff Beck. Ronnie hints in previous Montrose releases that he was heading for a solo career. Songs like "Whaler" and "One And a Half" from Warner Brothers Presents... Montrose! and "Tuft-Sedge" and "Merry-Go-Round" from Jump On It contained various acoustic, synthesizer and string elements that showed Ronnie was looking to branch out from his hard rock persona. Ronnie reunited with Edgar Winter, who produced the album and played piano and keyboards as well. The album also features Montrose alumni Jim Alcivar on keyboards, Alan Fitzgerald on bass and drummer Rick Shlosser, who worked with Ronnie on Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey.
