Animal Instinct
The Story
"Animal Instinct" was Gary Hoey's first instrumental guitar release in the United States, and shows his huge talent and agility as a guitarist.This album covers a number of rock stylings, from the hard-rock opening track "Mass Hysteria" to the soaring blues of "Texas Son" to the subtle shadings of "Bert's Lounge" to the blissfully sad "Fade to Blue" to the Satriani-influenced cruising tune, "Drive". "Animal Instinct", which features Tony Franklin on bass and Frankie Banali on drums, contains Hoey's take on "Hocus Pocus", among the other outstanding tracks and Hoey originals.
