Albert and Joe Bouchard are best known as founding members of Blue \u00d6yster Cult. The original line-up sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as \u201cDon\u2019t Fear the Reaper\u201d and the #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart \u201cBurning For You\u201d. Both contributing to songwriting, and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as Albert\u2019s vocals on \u201cCities on Flame with Rock and Roll\u201d, and Joe\u2019s on \u201cHot Rails To Hell\u201d.

Albert\u2019s infamous cowbell part in \u201cDon\u2019t Fear The Reaper\u201d was the basis of the classic Will Ferrell skit on SNL, which also starred Christopher Walken.\u00a0With \u201cThe Reaper,\u201d an all-time classic on YouTube and every other digital platform, with zillions of views, the Bouchard brothers are forever cemented in pop culture.

Now they are ready to embark on their next venture together with RockHeart Records. With multiple albums being readied for release, the Bouchard\u2019s manager, Jeff Keller, suggested the idea of forming a new imprint label that would be owned and operated by the Bouchards, with Keller\u2019s assistance. Keller sought a partnership with a label that could assist with the new imprint label and the distribution, manufacturing, and marketing. \u201cI had previously worked on a release with Deko Music and I was impressed with their team, experience, and the enthusiasm. Deko loved the idea of the imprint label and their team was excited to work with us,\u201d said Keller. This led to the birth of RockHeart Records and a new partnership with Deko Music. Deko Entertainment president Bruce Pucciarello states, “Deko is thrilled to be partnering with RockHeart Records in releasing Joe and Albert\u2019s new music. Having been fortunate enough to preview this material I can promise fans (because I am a big one) that they won\u2019t be disappointed.\u201d

Joe Bouchard will release his brand new solo album \u2018Strange Legends\u2019 on July 31st. The first single and lyric video \u201cForget About Love\u201d will drop on June 19th, with the follow up \u201cShe\u2019s A Legend\u201d dropping on July 17th. Keep checking back at Deko Entertainment as Joe will continually take you on a special behind the scenes song by song look at \u2018Strange Legends\u2019.

For the last two years, Joe has worked tirelessly on his 6th and best solo album. For the production of this album he enlisted the help of Micky Curry, a drumming powerhouse, who has played with Hall and Oates, Alice Cooper and more. He is currently the drummer for Bryan Adams, playing on all of his big hits. He has over 40 gold records in his archives.

Several of the songs were written by Joe Bouchard and lyricist\/sci-fi writer John Shirley. John Shirley is a long-time lyricist for Blue \u00d6yster Cult, and has written dozens of sci-fi novels. He was the co-screenwriter for \u2018The Crow,\u2019 starring Brandon Lee. Other songs on the album were written by the late John Elwood Cook, a very prolific songwriter, who wrote many songs on Joe\u2019s earlier solo albums. Joe\u2019s album also includes a cover of Ray Davies and the Kinks\u2019 \u201cAll Day and All of the Night.\u201d

Joe says, \u201cI really got to explore the production and mixing of this album like nothing I\u2019ve ever done before. The guitar sounds are especially well produced. I play all the bass on this album, one thing that many of the Blue \u00d6yster Cult fans miss on other projects, and wanted to hear more of. The vocals and guitars fit so well with Micky\u2019s drums. It\u2019s the best I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d
