Gary Hoey has recorded 19 albums and had five top-20 Billboard hits, and has been called one of the top 100 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Hoey’s biggest hit was his version of Focus’ Hocus Pocus in 1993: the cover song rocketed into the Billboard Top 5 and became the most frequently played rock song of that year. In addition to touring as a headline act, Hoey has toured and traded licks with Brian May of Queen, Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Brothers, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Peter Frampton, Rick Derringer, and Deep Purple. The song ‘Coming Home’ is not the first cooperation between Gary Hoey and Lita Ford: Hoey played on and co-wrote a few songs on Ford's album ‘Living Like A Runaway’ album in 2012, as well as toured with her in support of that album. His popular “Ho Ho Hoey” series of Christmas CDs and on-air station visits during the holiday season have become an annual staple at hundreds of US radio stations and his live annual interpretation, “Ho Ho Hoey’s Rockin’ Holiday Show,” gains new fans each year. Hallmark’s musical greeting cards feature two of Gary’s “Ho Ho Hoey” classics.
Dust & Bones
All the songs on this 11 track collection are good. The album kicks off with ‘Box Car Blues’, a slide guitar driven rocker that would grace any Joe Bonamassa record. ‘Who’s Your Daddy’ is a gentler blues shuffle which leads into ‘Born To Love You’ – this is a great song and sounds like Billy Gibbons is an obvious influence. Lead song off the album is ‘Dust & Bones’ and this should be on rock radio everywhere if the Band’s publicist is good at their job; it’s a great song, still heavy but commercial at the same time. ‘Steam Roller’ is listed as a Johnny Winter tribute and I can’t think of a better description for it. The afore mentioned power ballad, ‘Coming Home’, is actually very good and features some of the best guitar work on the entire record. This leads into ‘Ghost Of Yesterday’ and I think this is another terrific song that could do well as a single. An up-tempo number with a catchy chorus and capped with a lengthy solo. ‘This Time Tomorrow’, ‘Back Against The Wall’ and ‘Blind Faith’ are all good but with three entirely different styles. These lead to album closer ‘Soul Surfer’. It’s is the only instrumental on the album and it’s a nice way to finish.
This is an album that will appeal to all blues rock fans and if the album is anything to go by, then his live show, if it makes it over here, will be very loud and very good.
Dust & Bones
