Bloodrock 2 is the second album by the Texan hard rock band Bloodrock, released on Capitol Records in 1970. At the beginning of the following year, the song "D.O.A." became the biggest hit of Bloodrock's career, yet in the eyes of the public it conceptually painted the band into a corner as a mere shock rock act.
Although the material is not not quite as strong as on their outstanding debut LP, 'Bloodrock' (1969), it still ranks among 1970's most memorable offerings. Reminding one chiefly of Jimi Hendrix and the Doors, but with anticipations of 'Southern rock,' Bloodrock 2 exemplifies hard rock in its early, most creative phase - before it went mainstream and fossilized as a genre. It contains the magical opener Lucky in the Morning, which seems to have inspired the majestic introduction to Uriah Heep's classic July Morning, two fastpaced Deep Purple-style rockers, Fallin' and Dier Not a Lover, as well as Bloodrock's only hit single, DOA, which is however one of the weaker tracks.
