BOSTON To Wrap New Album After Summer Tour
May 2, 2008, 16 years ago
According to Gary Graff from Billboard.com, BOSTON leader Tom Scholz hopes to finish recording the band's next studio album after its summer tour and have it out "just after the first of the year."
Scholz says the album - Boston's first since 2002's Corporate America - is a mix of "really straightforward rock 'n' roll songs and some things that are pretty esoteric.
"When I first started," he continues, "I was doing music that had pretty simple themes. Then as I got into 'Third Stage' and 'Walk On' I got a little more technical and a little more involved, more complicated. In this one I'm trying to do both."The new album will also include several songs from Corporate America that Scholz is remixing, rearranging and, in some cases, completely re-recording -- including the title track, 'You Gave Up On Love' and 'Someone'.
"'Corporate America' was a really poor seller," Scholz acknowledges. "Very few people have heard it. I'd like to give some of these songs another chance to be heard."Read more here.
