| Late BOSTON singer Brad Delp has left fans one brand new song that he co-wrote and recorded with former band-mate/original Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau for the 30th anniversary of the first Boston CD. The song 'Rockin' Away' is Brad's story of how he got involved in music. According to a press release, "it sounds like early Boston - it sounds like a hit." 'Rockin' Away' was serviced to Active Rock and Classic Rock radio last week.About the track Goudreau says: "'Rockin’ Away' was written in the summer of 2006 for the 30th Anniversary of the release of the first Boston record. It was the last song that Brad and I wrote together. In it, Brad reflects on how he became involved in music, and thanks his many fans for their years of loyalty. It was my hope that the song might lead to a rekindling of my relationship with the band. Unfortunately it did not. Brad’s family and I felt that his many fans would appreciate hearing his spectacular voice one more time on a new song. I hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it."
