When Deko Entertainment decided to do a repressing, they wanted to do something a little bit different to commemorate this accomplishment by issuing a slightly different version. Joe comments, “I am overwhelmed by the response to my album "Strange Legends." I knew it was good, but the fan reactions from all over the world have been tremendous. After years of sweat and effort doing my solo albums, this one has really risen above the pack. With this second pressing of "Strange Legends," we have varied the artwork on the tray holder. My artist, Logan Cummings, created 11 different thumbnails for each song on the album. The first edition had the frogman that was the art for "Bottom for the Bottomless." The second edition has the sailboat which is the art for "Strangely in Love," one of my personal favorites. The team at Deko Entertainment has gone the extra mile with promotions, and it’s been an incredible ride. Hope to play these new songs in person as soon as touring returns.”
Bouchard’s manager, Jeff Keller, added,
“We have been so pleased with the fan and critic response for this album. I feel that it is Joe’s best solo work to date, and the people are loving it.”
Also, be sure to check out the video for the second single off of the album, “She’s a Legend”, written by Joe and sci-fi writer John Shirley (The Crow, Deep Space Nine). John has dozens of books, screenplays in his catalog, and often writes lyrics for the current Blue Öyster Cult.
