My dad LOVED this album. And he is not really a rock guy all that much. But he loved it. He loved the heavy stuff. He said Secret Road and a few other Buck tracks reminded him of The Outlaws.
I sent him a copy for his birthday because he took me to my first BOC show just to be my ride and he ended up REALLY enjoying it. He and I got to meet Sandy and Bobby Rondinelli after the show. We must have stayed at the venue until after 1am and didn't get home until almost 4am. I think if BOC plays North Carolina after all this COVID-19 stuff is over ill have to drive down there just to take my dad to the show.

Cool.Your dad's cool too.My dad liked Buck's Boogie.He made me play it three times in a row(this was my edited Nassau Coliseum Feb 4,1977 version where I cut out the drum solo).Said it reminded him of big band stuff.My dad was a high school sax player.The only song I ever heard him say he liked was Stevie Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy.He said "That's a shuffle"

Good work, Buck. A really good album. I wasn't sure what to expect but you certainly didn't disappoint. It's interesting to see how polarised and energised the fan boards are about different album tracks, a sign of a good record and one that gets the fans talking. Also, although I'm not a fan on music videos per sé, the four released so far have all added to the songs' enjoyment.

For that first show we were RIGHT UP AGAINST the stage and my ears were ringing when I got home lol, but it was totally worth it. My dad just brought me there because he knew I liked the band, but even though he was an R&B and Motown fan, the only contemporary band he really liked enough to own their albums was Queen. Even the other bands he liked didn't rate high enough for him to buy the records. He expected to relatively enjoy it, but he didn't expect to love it. But he REALLY enjoyed that night. I remember the next show I went to they played Divine Wind and Buck shouted "this one goes out to the ghost of Saddam," which I thought was badass too (not to get political, I'm just saying I thought it was a cool intro to a song that was inherently political in nature), and my dad loved that too. So I converted him into a fan basically. On a trip back from North Carolina for vacation (before he moved there permanently) I played the WMMS Empire Concert Club 1991 show for him on CD, and I really loved that. His head was nodding to the music, and he really dug how heavy it was. It's fun now picturing him getting this CD for his 69th birthday (Oct. 9, same day as the release) and rockin along to Stand & Fight, which he said he really liked. I mean.... the guy lives for Motown and Memphis Soul and here he is enjoying a drop D metal tune haha.

Also, although I'm not a fan on music videos per sé, the four released so far have all added to the songs' enjoyment. It’s pretty great to see how many positive reviews have been posted online. And how from here, the site across the way, and even Amazon, how varied people’s favorite tunes are from TSR.

After listening online for a week I finally picked up the CD from from my neighborhood record store(Prince was a regular customer) and then went for a drive around town to listen. Man, it was a great! Cranked up and just felt the energy. After an hour of driving around looking at fall colors I pulled up to my driveway just as the CD ended (a sign from the universe?)
I was like a 15 year old once again.

Your dad is pretty much my age so yeah I could see where he'd like BOC even tho he grew up with Motown and Soul.I'll be 67 Nov 10.
