I had never heard of blues rock guitarist David Gogo until earlier this year. Several of his albums kept appearing as recommendations for me on eMusic.Lo and behold, this talented guy has released 10 albums in Canada.
His latest album "Different Views" is a good place to start ... it's a solid blues rock album. I also really enjoy "Change of Pace" (try the title track, plus "Sad & Lonely", "Sad & Beautiful" and "Face in the Mirror") ... and his early live album "Dining Under The Stars" ... the version of "Sad & Beautiful" on that album is a classic.
The following video has the studio version of "Sad & Beautiful" ...
I also like this video where he's doing a little slide guitar action with a Molson beer bottle ...
Here are a couple more live videos to give you a feel for more of his music ...
David Gogo's first album, from 1994, is sadly out of print ... but I managed to pick up a copy on eBay earlier this year. It's a little harder rocking blues, and definitely worth searching out ...
