44. Albert Bouchard - Blue Oyster Cult

(Don't Fear) The Reaper is a masterpiece Blue Oyster Cult created in the mid-70's and almost half a century on it's still loved and played on the radio today. Albert Bouchard was a founding member of the group and tasted all the highs including hit albums Agents of Fortune and Fire of Unknown Origin as well as the hit singles Godzilla, Burning For You and the previously mentioned (Don't Fear) The Reaper. In this humorous interview Albert talks about his early days and the missed opportunity with Jimi Hendrix and Ringo Starr, how the bands unique name came about, the hits, the much parodied and now legendary cowbell and about his new Imaginos trilogy which has its roots back in the 60's!
