BLOODROCK 2 DOA signed by 5 ORIGINAL MEMBERS ALBUM LP RECORD AUTOGRAPH RARE
Bloodrock 2 was their most successful album peaking at #21 on the Billboard Pop Album Chart in 1971 mostly on the strength of their single "DOA" which reached #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 6, 1971. "DOA" also gave the band considerable regional exposure throughout the Southwest and West, particularly in Texas and Southern California. "DOA" was probably the band's most well known and well remembered single.
The motivation for writing this song was explained in 2005 by guitarist Lee Pickens. When I was 17, I wanted to be an airline pilot, Pickens said.I had just gotten out of this airplane with a friend of mine, at this little airport, and I watched him take off. He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed. The band decided to write a song around the incident and include it on their second album. A reunion concert, which is where I believe this item was signed, featuring five of the six original members (Jim Rutledge, Lee Pickens, Ed Grundy, Nick Taylor, Stevie Hill, and Chris Taylor in place of original drummer Rick Cobb III) was held on March 12, 2005 in Fort Worth, for the benefit of their keyboardist Stevie Hill.
Of the original 6 members.... Only 3 at this time are still alive.Nick Taylor, Stevie Hill and Rick Cobb III have since passed away. I have had this signed piece of music history in my possession since the mid 2000's and have enjoyed it all of that time. But now it needs to have a new home for another to enjoy for years more to come. Now open to International Sales.
