• Source: Orion the Hunter (album)

      • Orion the Hunter is the only album from the band Orion the Hunter, which was an offshoot of the band Boston. Guitarist Barry Goudreau and backing vocalist Brad Delp were members of Boston, and guitarist/vocalist Fran Cosmo would join a later incarnation of the band. The group also included Michael DeRosier (from the group Heart) on drums and percussion, and Bruce Smith on bass.
      The album was released in 1984 and charted at number 57. It featured the single "So You Ran", which was a rock radio top 10 hit; it also charted on the Billboard Hot 100.


      Reception



      Allmusic's Doug Stone retrospectively gave the album two stars. Saying of the songs "Fast Talk", "Dreamin'" and "I Call It Love": "[they are] good, professional rock tunes. Maybe too professional, as they come off a bit cold". He went on to say that "even though Orion the Hunter holds some personal nostalgia, too many albums deserve more attention".
