Rock and Roll Machine was the second album by Canadian rock band Triumph, released in 1977 (see 1977 in music). The album was released on RCA Records in the USA in 1978. The album resulted in the band's first hit single, a cover version of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way". Depending on the country of issue, the album may also be named Rock & Roll Machine or Rock 'N' Roll Machine.
