*Album comment- Dave Gage's first album from 1990 is 80's pop, rock, and blues influenced. The harmonica on this album is very diverse and features many styles of playing on both diatonic and chromatic harmonicas. The solo instrumental, "Tap", is a classic example of the rock style tongue-switching techique he pioneered (a la Eddie Van Halen guitar 'tapping'). Buy this CD. |
