Jo Jo Gunne - In Your Radio: Live from Ultrasonic Studios, New York 1973 (2015)

Jo Jo Gunne always came across as a lot smarter than a good deal of their boogie counterparts during the early '70s when the band occupied the throne of that genre for a brief spell. Their instrumental and arranging prowess had been earned on the back of their previous incarnation as Spirit, the revered post-psychedelic blues and jazz collective from LA. This blistering performance at Ultrasonic Studios, New York, in 1973, promoting their recently released Bite Down Hard album, emphasizes a force in boogie rock that gravitates toward the likes of Cactus and early Blackfoot. While their explosive best may be confined to their first two albums, one can't help feeling that with a more consistent and less fractured line-up, the destiny of Jo Jo Gunne may have been wholly different.
