BLUE COUPE = MILLION MILES MORE 2013.
Bass – Dennis Dunaway
Drums – Albert Bouchard
Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion – Joe Bouchard
Blue Coupe is the supergroup made up of two Blue Oyster’s and a bass player, who, in the past, has been known to impersonate a frog!
The crazy part about the previous sentence is that it is true! Brothers Joe and Albert Bouchard were the rhythm section for Blue Oyster Cult and Dennis Dunaway is a founding member of the Alice Cooper group, as well as a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Together, the three men have bastardized their former band names and come up with the cool moniker “Blue Coupe” – now ya get it, dontcha?
Blue Coupe invited some of their famous friends to join them in the musical festivities, both as performers and in the studio booth. The album is produced by Jack Douglas (think Aerosmith, John Lennon etc). Douglas makes this sucker sound damn good while Blue Oyster Cult guitarist Buck Dharma adds his signature guitar tone to one of the albums standout tracks “Hellfire Hurry.” This tune drips of BOC as Buck’s signature riffage is all over the place.
Alice Cooper appears on “Hallow’s Grave” creating that creepy yet neat-o classic sound of the old school Alice Cooper group. Not all of the guest artists, however, were in Alice Cooper or Blue Oyster Cult, as Ross the Boss stamps his sound on the AC/DC sounding “Ain’t Dead” and original Steppenwolf keyboardist Goldy McJohn adds his signature organ to “Modern Love (Stalking Time).”
