You want some hard rockin boogie-woogie from London Ontario,  from anywhere but particularly Ontario?  Hell yeah! I hear the kids shout which is right about where Good As Gone ride into town.

That’s their name baby and I guess why not as they marry some nifty boogie ZZ Top style with some of that sweet Thin Lizzy harmonious guitar twiddling like on ‘Tall In The Saddle’.  There’s no stink of bullshit here kids just good time Rock n Roll with duelling guitars and a rock-solid backbeat.

They do kickback on ‘Oh Lenore’ (it might be in tribute to the fabric softener sold here in the UK) it’s a little Black Crowes like but not as in keeping with the previous offerings but that fine because ‘Foolish Pursuit’ is a cocksure struttin number with a shufflin’ backbeat and packs more of a punch.

Some members of the band have been cutting tracks for over two decades together and when they lock in you can hear how well they complement each other.  There is a tendency for the band to settle down into a comfortable pace and tempo of songs and when the melody is right and the playing locks in its a great thing to behold like on the record’s highlight ‘Dangler’  (I dunno what it’s about either) but the distorted slide and slow groove is ‘Amorica’ era Crowes and these guys do it well.

‘Other Voices’ being an epic seven plus minutes of brooding building roots rock n roll as it meanders showcasing what the band has to offer and doing it very nicely.
