At my last show at Daryl's House a fan (sorry I didn't get your name) came up to me and said, "What I would really like would be to see you by yourself on stage with your guitar telling stories, interacting with the audience and playing an occasional song." That got me thinking. That might be a fun thing to do. Like many other things in my life when I think something it happens. This fall I'm playing a whole bunch of shows in small clubs in Scotland, England and more using this very format. More information and tickets are available here: https://albertbouchard.net/gigs

GHOST STORIES - Behind The Scenes

07/02/2024

Legendary Rockers
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT
Announce Studio Album 'Ghost Stories'
due Out April 12th via Frontiers Music Srl

BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is eagerly gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career with the upcoming release of 'Ghost Stories.'
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is set to captivate fans with a collection of reimagined and newly completed songs that span from 1978-2016. These musical treasures, long considered 'lost gems' by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthusiasts, were originally recorded between 1978 and 1983, except for one track from 2016, "If I Fell." Also included is the only known studio recording of their concert classic “Kick Out the Jams” (MC5 cover). Some of the material is from sessions workshopping material for an album, some is from performance rehearsals.

George Geranios, the band's original audio engineer co-produced the original 1978-83 recordings along with BÖC. All were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. They were later transferred to digital audio, which is when modern AI and magical musical talents met and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become 'Ghost Stories.' The two explain the album's amazing process HERE:

Work in the studio for the album was completed by Richie Castellano along with remaining original members Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, both Albert Bouchard and Rick Downey appear on drums with additional overdubs recorded by Joe Bouchard. All these original lineup members appearing on 'Ghost Stories,' create a musical journey that traverses decades.

To celebrate this exciting announcement, the band shares the single "So Supernatural" along with a new music video that has a super cool blend of classic rock and modern AI.

Happy birthday Buck

They were called the "thinking man's metal band" and there was a lot more prog going on in Blue Öyster Cult than people realise
