Review of "Bug Alley"
|
By: John Nicholas
ary Hoey's 1996 CD release is "Bug Alley", another diverse instrumental in the vein of "Animal Instinct". This collection opens with a surprising rock version of the Bach piece "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" called simply "Desire". Gary travels through a lot of terrain from there including two vocal cover songs. The bluesy "Bug Alley" featuring former Stray Cats guitarist Brian Setzer and the funky "Moustache Muchacho" are memorable. The ballad "Peace Pipe" is probably his best one and a highlight of this CD. Overall this CD is more about songwriting and less about grooving riffs or flashy soloing than his earlier CDs.
