Soul Bender, David Gogo’s newest CD release, is scheduled for a June 7th street date in Canada and June 21st in the USA.
The album features outstanding new tracks – some original and some unexpected covers – that showcase Gogo’s best guitar and vocal performances ever! Those who have already heard it, all say, “it’s a hit!”
The original works reflect recent changes in Gogo’s life, everyone’s life, as only the blues can.
The covers run the gamut of sources and styles including those from Procol Harum, Elmore James and even Michael Jackson.
There are some interesting new aspects to this album’s arrangements and voicing. For the first time ever, this recording includes strings! Back for more “oomph” is Rick Hopkins with his keyboard antics. As with previous albums Soul Bender includes horns and strong vocal backups from a variety of singers.
Monkey Junk’s Steve Marriner adds some harp, soul and wonderful piano. Back for more Gogo punishment are blues stalwarts (and good music generally) Pat Steward – drums, Doug Elliott – bass, both from The Odds, Billy Hicks – drums, and Jay Stevens – bass.
Having Charlie Quintana on drums on two tracks adds a new twist. Charlie is known as a premier punk rock drummer from his work with bands (Social Distortion, Ju Ju Hounds and The Plugz) as well as touring with Joan Osborne, Cracker and Bob Dylan.
Gogo will be touring Canada this summer to promote Soul Bender, so keep your eye on his calendar. This summer, make sure you catch Gogo at a venue near you!
