Free Music Notes for Agents of Fortune
Free Music Review: BOC, gets a fortune
Hit: 5 Stars
In the summer of 1976 Blue Oyster Cult released their 4th studio album, "Agents Of Fortune" #29, they knew they had to change direction a little to be a more popular band, but they didn't have to change much, they would keep their hard rock crunch, but add some pop sensibilities to this album. "Agents" gave BOC their first platnium album, and some fine song writing by Albert Bouchard and Buck Dharma. Patti Smith helped boyfriend Albert at the time with 2 great songs. Produced by Sandy Pearlman, Murray Krugman and David Lucas. I don't understand the naysayers here. Here are the highlightsof this fine album:
"This Ain't The Summer Of Love"- "This ain't the garden of eden". One of Albert's best songs, Buck's guitar rocks!
"True Confessions"- "Naked, exposed like fine rock and roll". One of Allen's finest songs, 60's doo-wop, great saxes by the Brecker Brothers.
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper"- "Fourty thousand men and women everyday". Buck's ultimate song #12 in 1976, the guitar is classic, love the middle part, not really played on most stations today, they mostly play the edited version.
E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)"- "Don't report this Agents of fortune". What harmonies here, Buck's guitar rules, good use of synths.
"The Revenge Of Vera Gemini" -"But I love your naked neck". Patti Smith's vocals are great on this track, This is a great BOC song, great use of bass and guitar.
"Sinful Love"-"Daredevil, she devil, printer's devil, evil". Written by Albert and the late Helen Wheels. Here's a song that should of been a hit. Buck does a great stun guitar here, again the harmonies are amazing.
"Tattoo Vampire"- "Vampire suckin' the skin". Another Albert and Helen song. A halloween favorite, this song is a kind of rock -punk classic, erie effects, Eric's vocals resonate.
"Morning Final- "After what I read I can hardly feel my heart". Written by Joe Bouchard, Early 70ish type song, people fine this song boring, but to me it's a BOC classic song, great guitar by Buck, love the "Paper,Paper" and subway effects at the end, always makes my dogs look around in wonder.
Tenderloin"- "I come to you in a blue,blue room". A drug song, another Allen Lanier song 60's type feel on this one, probably would of fit perfectly on the Stalk-Forrest Group.
"Debbie Denise" - "But I was out rollin' with my band". Albert and Patti's 2nd song here, This is a great song, great acoustic's, could of been a big hit! good strumming guitar by Buck, Albert's vocals are just magical here!
Bonus tracks:Early original version of "Fire Of Unknown Orgin" slowed down version here, good stuff. "Took my baby away".
"Sally" - "Confess". Albert song, 60's type song, organ dominated song.
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper"- Stripped down version, No COWBELL here.
"Dance The Night Away"- Allen Lanier number with the late Jim Caroll. This song would be released by Jim Caroll, A song BOC wouldn't play live! Just Allen on piano and singing. "I smoked a cigarette".
I've enjoyed this album for 34 years now, doesn't get old.
