Showcase Spin Cycle - December 19, 2004

David Gogo
Vibe (Cordova Bay/Universal)

*** (3 Stars)

Vancouver-based guitarist David Gogo is at it again but with more of a rock slant to his blues this time around. The leadoff track, Love In The City, features current Blackie & The Rodeo King Tom Wilson on vocals for the straightforward barroom tune.

But it's meatier efforts like Hit Me From Above and Silk And Stone that should get your attention, bringing to mind The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Meanwhile, Gogo shows his softer side on such bluesy Robert Cray-like ballads I'd Do Anything and Something Ain't Right.

Overall it's another good blues rock record from this Western blues rocker.
