Media type: CD

CHIEF AMONGST the Blue Oyster Cult’s quota of superiority was songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Buck Dharma, the man responsible for writing their most popular track, the seminal ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’. With time on his hands between B.O.C. albums, Buck set about recording his, so far, only solo album, the sagely titled ‘Flat Out’. Typical of Dharma’s quirky sense of place, the songs and musicianship take no single direction, the contents spewing out like a multitude of strangely compatible styles.Aided and abetted by a number of grade-A musicians, including members of B.O.C., Foghat and Alice Cooper’s original band, ‘Flat Out’, originally issued in 1982, confounded those who heard it first time around but has since gone on to attain, er, cult appeal to rival the best work of the mothership, with its seasoned vibe that only gets better with both age and familiarity. Truly one of the most revealing and fascinating records to have emerged from the hallowed halls of that mysterious enigma known as the B.O.C.
