Album Description After leaving school at 17, Gary worked at a string of record companies and recording studios, like Eurythmic Dave Stewart's Artist Network. Gary even interviewed for a job at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, but was told by Gabriel himself that maybe he "should concentrate on songwriting." Luckily, Gary took his advice. He traveled to America, where he worked at a New Jersey recording studio and rented a room in Frank Sinatra's old house in Hoboken - there he composed many of the songs that appear on Gary Go. Gary now brings bona fide pop hits to the US. Having just completed tours with two of Britain's all time best selling bands Take That and Lady Gaga, Gary is on his way to the US. "Wonderful" the first single is already climbing the pop charts at radio after topping the charts in the UK and Italy! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsPolished but dull... Don Walton Jr. | Albuquerque, NM United States | 09/17/2009 (2 out of 5 stars) "Gary Go certainly has some talented producers behind his sound, but the overall product is fairly generic. It was a chore to try and swallow this entire record without losing interest. It's a standard contemporary pop record. The kind of thing you hear while shopping in your mothers department store of choice. Unoffensive background noise, but nothing exciting or ear-turning present either." Pretty solid Alterna-Brit-Pop Aaron Silverman | Boynton Beach, FL, United States | 09/16/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Yes, it's true: there are clear resemblances between Gary Go and Coldplay (among others). But his songwriting also hints at his more sophisticated '70s influences. There's something going on in these tunes. I enjoyed this even though the genre isn't really my cup of tea (I normally listen to a lot of metal and progressive rock, as well as orchestral music -- my favorite recent musical discovery is the East Village Opera Company). In fact, maybe this only truly rates 3 stars, but I'm giving it a fourth just because this disc grew on me more than I expected it to and I haven't tired of it like I thought I would. I'll be interested to see what direction he takes on his next record. Note that I gave up paying any attention to pop music lyrics years ago, so I am rating this solely based on the music (singing included), not the words. " Pretty polished for a debut album Greg A. Tirevold | Atlanta, GA USA | 09/16/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Unlike the over-processed sound of many "pop" debut albums or the "rushed and cheap" sound that some indie albums have, Gary Go's offering had a very smooth and professional production quality to it. It sounded more like a 2nd or 3rd album to me where the artist knows where they are going and not just taking shots in odd directions like someone's first outing.
The songs on this CD were a pleasant listen and a couple of times I was reminded a bit of Sting's voice inflection, especially on the first track "Open Arms". The lyrics were vocally interesting and had a more story-telling quality than you hear in much of current music. I was impressed with the variety of rhythms used, it kept songs distinct. My favorite is track is "Wonderful", an excellent example of great lyrics combined with a flowing rhythm that produces something you'll find yourself tapping your foot to, perhaps with a bit of a head nod as well." |
