JOE BOUCHARD RELEASES NEW ALBUM ‘AMERICAN ROCKER’ AND ANNOUNCES FIRST BOUCHARD BROS UK TOUR WITH HIS BROTHER AL
Former member of Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Bouchard has released his latest album ‘American Rocker’.
The album follows 2019’s ‘Strange Legends’ and is another example of Joe Bouchard’s excellent musicianship.
The original BOC lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart “Burning for You.” He contributed to songwriting and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as “Hot Rails to Hell.”
Watch the lyric video for Deadly Kisses below:
Joe had this to say about the song, “‘Deadly Kisses’ is a song of young love and how it traps you. I sat down in a music room at a private boarding school and played a few odd chords. The opening lines and melody just came out.”
The new album American Rocker sees the return of Mickey Curry (Bryan Adams, Hall and Oates, Alice Cooper) on drums, and sees Bouchard taking a look back at the heyday of the ‘70’s with BÖC on tracks like “In the Golden Age,” and “Rocket to Fame.” As Joe states, “American Rocker is a musical journey of my life as a rock star. I feel lucky to live a life of music, and to be fulfilling my wildest dreams.” Deko Entertainment president, Bruce Pucciarello, continues, “If there was ever an album aptly named, Joe Bouchard shares this collection of amazing rock and roll flashbacks. Joe exemplifies the true American rocker.”
Joe Bouchard will be joining his brother, Albert Bouchard, for select shows in North America and their first ever Bouchard Brothers UK Tour this summer.
