Orleans is the debut album from the R & B influenced rock band Orleans. Formed in 1972 by multi-instrumentalists/vocalists John Hall, Larry Hoppen, and Wells Kelly, the group had been playing at bars in upstate New York as a trio for several months before Hoppen's then 18-year-old brother Lance was added to take up the position of bassist.
