87) Boston-Don't Look Back 1978

Av Mikael Persson - 27 januari 2012 14:14

 


The second album by melodic hardrockband Boston sold 4 million copies in the first month and the title song reached nr.4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. The band had felt that the album was'nt finished and that it was too short but the record company released it anyway. And this is the problem with this album, it sounds much like their debut album which is a great album, but the songs are half-finished, they could have been som much better with some more work.


Brad Delp committed suicide in his home in 2007.

Barry Goudreau had to leave the band after he released a solo album in 1980. After that he has recorded with some smaller bands through the years.

Fran Sheehan did not play on any more Boston-albums. He left while recording the next album in the early 80's. He has after this played with Sammy Hagar but no longer plays bass professionally since he hurt his hand in a bike incident.

Sib Hashian also left the band in the same time as Sheehan. He played on Barry Goudreau's album in 1980 and like Sheehan played with Sammy Hagar in 2003. He has every now and then played with the other members of Boson on occations.

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...
