Complete Blue Sky Albums 1976-1978
Description
Limited five CD box. This release collects together music made across three short but prolific years, when the band Derringer released three studio albums plus two live albums. Rick Derringer first found fame aged just 17 in 1965, when his band The McCoys had a #1 hit in America with 'Hang On Sloopy', famously knocking The Beatles' 'Yesterday' off the top spot. Subsequently making significant appearances with Edgar Winter and Johnny Winter, as well as Steely Dan and Alice Cooper, and even squeezing in a solo hit with 1973's 'Rock 'N' Roll, Hoochie Koo', before deciding to put together his own band in 1976. Naming the band Derringer, the singer and guitarist was joined by bassist Kenny Aaronson, future Black Sabbath and Dio drummer, Vinny Appice, with the quartet completed by guitarist Danny Johnson. Going for a rockier, harder, less poppy sound than Rick's previous musical excursions, Derringer signed to Blue Sky Records, a subsidiary of Columbia Records, in 1976. This set includes the albums Derringer, Live In Cleveland, Sweet Evil, Derringer Live and If I Weren't So Romantic I'd Shoot You.

Derringer
Rick Derringer is another great guitar player who played with Johnny Winter and Edgar Winter just to name a few legend`s off hand, ...plus he is from the late 60`s and all thru the 70`s, 80`s, 90`s, ect, and his music still rock`s,...so keep on rockin!

Nice to have all this in one place.
Great little box set. Its nice to replace My old scratchy beat up records. 70s hard rocking guitar hero. Rick Derringer and future Sabbath / Dio drummer Vinnie Appice. Loads of great songs. Its a shame stuff like Sitting By The Pool and a few others. Are not heard and remembered by classic rock radio. As well as Rock N Roll Hoochie Coo is.
