\u201cIf you\u2019re an old school Blue \u00d6yster Cult  fan you\u2019re going to love Strange Legends by Joe Bouchard plain and simple. This is just a solid album top to bottom.\u201d 

ROCKTITAN
\u201cFor a man that has spent over half a century making music, Joe Bouchard shows no signs of slowing down on Strange Legends. From the bluesy, hard-charging lead single \u201cForget About Love\u201d to the endearing ballad \u201cStrangely In Love,\u201d Bouchard demonstrates his flair for crafting simple yet enjoyable Rock and Roll music.\u201d

 METAL EXPRESS
Joe had this to say about the latest single and video, \u201cThe African Queen was inspired by the classic movie from 1951 starring Humphrey Bogart. This song did not take long to write, and the excitement of the boat scenes reminded me of the river where I grew up. This was the first song finished for the album, and the rest followed pretty easily. This is one of my favorite new songs.\u201d

Also to celebrate the launch of RockHeart Records and the release of \u201cStrange Legends\u201d, the Bouchard brothers are offering a limited amount of the official RockHeart Records Cowbell autographed personally by both Joe and Albert.

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. With \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.
