Rock & blues guitar legend Gary Hoey releases his first album in 6 years. “Avalanche” on Wazoo Music Group (Hoey’s own label) features special guest Lita Ford on vocals on “You Know I Would” and Gary’s son, Ian Hoey, on “Dear Mama” which is a tribute to Gary’s mother and on “Summer’s Here”. Gary says, “Avalanche is a return to my rock roots. It feels great to turn up the volume and have some fun. This album was a therapeutic album for me. I named the album “Avalanche” because sometimes life feels like one thing hits you after another.
Hoey’s first break came in 1987 when Ozzy Osbourne showed up in Boston looking for a guitarist. Osborne liked Hoey’s tape enough to fly him to LA for an audition. Ozzy suggested that Gary move to LA. He took Ozzy’s advice and with $17,000 he saved from teaching Hoey loaded the U-Haul and drove across country to LA. In 1992 Hoey released “Heavy Bones” on Waner Bros. A short lived band. In 1993 Hoey released “Animal Instinct” which included acover of the Focus hit, “Hocus Pocus”. It rocketed into the Billboard Top 5, outpacing all other singles as the most frequently played rock song of the year, it’s no wonder Gary Hoey is listed as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.
