For immediate
release August 14, 2015 (Victoria, BC) - For over two decades David Gogo
has been recording and performing all over the world, bringing his
magnetic and accessible groove-fueled blend of blues and rock to
audiences of all ages. The British Columbia based guitarist and
vocalist's name has become synonymous with the Canadian blues scene, and
with good reason. Vicksburg Call (September 4) is Gogo’s
14th release and is poised to add even more acclaim to an already
impressive inventory. He’s earned numerous accolades, including
five JUNO nominations and multiple Maple Blues Awards. He has
thousands of tour miles under his belt and has played on stage with B.B.
King, Johnny Winter, Bo Diddley and Otis Rush as well as opened for ZZ
Top, Buddy Guy, Charles Bradley and many others.
Undoubtedly a
rockin’ blues album, Vicksburg Call was recorded in a studio with
a live, intimate atmosphere, which yielded an overall grittier sound with
lots of feeling. "I wanted this album to have more of a “band”
feel to it, rather than just going into the studio and basically
dictating the parts to the musicians", says Gogo. "I also
wanted as many songs as possible to have a very live feel and be easily
transferrable to the stage."
With the help of
his backing band consisting of Bill Hicks on drums and Jay Stevens on
bass, each of the tracks on Vicksburg Call are replete with the grooves,
emotion and soulful delivery that David Gogo is known for. From the
opening rocker “Cuts Me To The Bone”, the bluesy “Fooling Myself”,
featuring Kim Simmonds and the haunting “There’s A Hole” with a
guest appearance from Shawn Hall of The Harpoonist & The Axe
Murderer. Vicksburg Call also highlights Gogo’s aptitude for
selecting cover songs that one would not expect to hear on a blues album
including Neil Young’s “The Loner”, Stephen Stills’ “Jet Set (Sigh)”, and
Annie Lennox’s “Why”.
“In the time that
has passed since the last album, there has been a lot of loss in my life
with the passing of friends and colleagues in the world of music. There
were many sad days, but also tears of joy when I think back at fond
memories from my time on the road”, Gogo recalls. “Relationships can also
have their ups and downs as the years pass by, and many of my new songs
deal with this. I tried to write from many viewpoints of love and loss,
reconciliation, regret, acceptance and hope for new horizons.”
Gogo’s passion for
blues and his extraordinary, virtuosic guitar talents are laid bare
alongside his emotions on this album - a combination that grabs you from
the opening bars and keeps you hooked through all 10 tracks.
