GBC Volume 2 - LONGHORN HONEYMOON is the second smokin’ CD album release from Mick Stover's GENTLEMEN'S BLUES CLUB - that Hard-Rockin', Kick-Ass, All-Star Blues Band from Los Angeles, California...
Critics have already hailed Gentlemen's Blues Club: Vol. 2 Longhorn Honeymoon as the "BEST GUITAR ORIENTED ROCK CD of 2007". This tasty collection of catchy rock tunes takes Gentlemen's Blues Club to the next level. GBC's worldwide fan base had high expectations of the band’s 2nd album because of the high-quality, high-energy musicianship on GBC Vol. 1. The addictive songs and throbbing grooves of GBC Vol. 2 have far exceeded all expectations...
GBC: Vol. 2 - LONGHORN HONEYMOON is jam-packed with Special Guest Stars. We are very proud to present the musical counterpoint of 4 of Southern California's most exciting Electric Blues Guitarists... The 3 virtuoso guitar slingers on Vol. 1 are now joined by the infamous rock veteran guitar-slinger FRANK SIMES (Don Henley, Mick Jagger). Together for the 1st time on one CD, this array of elite talent has raised the bar for all future Blues-Rock albums.
For example: Track #1 (2 Kinds of Woman) is an All-Star extravaganza featuring BB Chung King on vocals, Frank Simes and Philip Sayce on guitars, Joe Travers (Dweezil Zappa, Duran Duran) on drums, and Teddy ZigZag (Guns ‘n’ Roses, Alice Cooper) on B3 Organ. Go ahead and give it a quick listen... Simply unbelievable!!!
