Bloodrock 2 is the second album by the Texas hard rock band Bloodrock, released on Capitol Records in 1970 and produced by Terry Knight. Early the following year, the gory extended track "D.O.A." became the biggest hit of Bloodrock's career when issued in shorter form as a single. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA January 3, 1990. Art direction: George Osaka. (Bloodrock's lead guitarist Lee Pickens contends that the song "D.O.A." was written & based on the Friday Oct. 2, 1970 Wichita State Football Team plane crash - however, review copies of Bloodrock 2 album were at Billboard magazine during the week of Oct. 18, 1970. The album was first reviewed in the Billboard magazine in the issue that is dated Saturday Oct. 31, 1970. Given the production technology and the distribution channels available at that time, it is very unlikely that the song could have been written, recorded, added to the LP, finished, pressed and distributed in that short amount of time).
