Former Blue Öyster Cult bassist JOE BOUCHARD will a release a new solo album entitled “American Rocker“, a 11-track collection of brand new songs that will be released on June 3. As Joe explains, “American Rocker is a musical journey of my life as a rock star,” adding, “I feel lucky to live a life of music, and to be fulfilling my wildest dreams.”
That spirit is pretty well on spot on the melodic classic rocker ‘In the Golden Age’ that finds him reflecting on the band’s 1970s heyday, about the early shows of Blue Öyster Cult when they began playing big shows on the West Coast of the U.S.
There’s many other fun and nostalgic stories of what used to be into a rock n’ roll band, something missing nowadays and something that in one way or another led to write good, authentic rock songs…

With the unique, resonating sound of Blue Öyster Cult still humming in my ears, ”Strange Legends”, the 6th solo release from their famed bassist JOE BOUCHARD is more than a welcome treat. A member of BÖC’s classic line up during their most successful period earning 9 gold and 2 platinum awards, Bouchard co-wrote many of the greatest BÖC songs.
They say legends never die, and on this record Bouchard goes a long way to proving it.
