Heretics and Privateers

Heretics & Privateers is a country-blues solo album by John Kay, the lead singer of Canadian-American rock group Steppenwolf, released on Cannonball Records in 2001. It has since been reissued on Crosscut Records and most recently on Rainman Records. This album mixes pure acoustic tunes with others that sound more like Steppenwolf. The lyrics follow mostly a "critical social" style.
