04-10 Original guitarist, lead singer Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult talks new album: Ghost Stories and how it was made with A.I. + Buck tells us about some of the most iconic songs from BOC!
/This episode is with rock & roll legend Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult. The band started as BOC in 1967 and has been releasing albums and touring since then. They have a new album titled Ghost Stories, which features rare and unreleased music as far back as the late 70’s. These songs for the most part were never officially released and have been sitting in a vault since they were originally performed. Now, with the help of AI, the music has been cleaned up and put onto this one special album. Buck is one of the original founding members, guitarist and vocalist and performed such hits as Don’t Fear the Reaper, Godzilla, Burnin’ For You. He shares his history with the band, along with his insight to how this album was created.
