I'VE BEEN DOWN
SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
IT WAS'NT LOVE
BUT IT FELT OK
Barry Goudreau
is the only
studio album
by American
guitarist and former
member
Barry Goudreau.
The album features
Goudreau's bandmates
with
Boston
Brad Delp
on lead vocals,
Sib Hashian
on drums
and
Fran Cosmo
(who would later join Boston in 1991),
the album displays
a sound very similar
to that of
Boston's
first two releases,
Boston (1976)
and
Don't Look Back (1978).
However,
neither this album
nor any of Goudreau's
subsequent releases
with other acts
(Orion the Hunter and RTZ)
proved to be as
commercially successful
as his work with
Boston.
The album was
released in 1980
and is Goudreau's
only solo album.
The song
"Dreams"
was released as a single
in 1980,
nearly cracking the
US Billboard Hot 100
(#103, October 1980).
Cash Box said of
"Dreams"
that it is
"as melodic and hook-filled as
anything by Boston."
Record World
called it a
"powerhouse rocker"
and said that
"Frenetic guitar leads
burn over the
bulldozer rhythm."
