GONZALEZ WALLY - CD TUNOG PINOY

Popis - TUNOG PINOY:
Wally Gonzalez-the amazing heavy fuzz guitarist on all the Juan De La Cruz albums. Gonzalez emerged in the 1970's as a rock icon along with band-mates Joey "Pepe" Smith and Mike Hanopol. Together, they were collectively called the Juan Dela Cruz band, a powerhouse group who awed the hippie generation in the Philippines with a taste of scorching Pinoy Rock.
A much more varied album than expected-just listening now to the soaring solos of the third track, Pinag-isa, and thinking how much this sounds like Pink Floyd circa "Dark Side"-atmospheric, with breathy vocals, yet thick with that mid-70s heavy energy at the same time; then you get to Rock & Roll Mama, and its stinging guitar leads and crunching rhythm section all the way; Gonzalez clearly was not a one trick (heavy acid blues rock) pony, which explains why this album has always been held in such high regard among those who had a chance to hear it.
