A friend of mine made me listen to this CD on a road trip. I was expecting something a lot slower and, well, boring. That is not what I got. I was very impressed w/ Booze Monkey and they've managed to turn me on to a whole new kind of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blues for a whole new generation !, February 25, 2003

With "Good Luck Mr. Gorsky" , Booze Monkey forge some serious new territory, ironically enough, with a time tested musical form- the blues.
The acoustic duo morph a variety of genres into a brand new sound.
What makes this album stand out is BLUE's shimmering production style. This CD glistens! The blues never sounded so clean.
But fear not, Booze Monkey will never stand accused of being alter boys! There is a heavy dose of dirty debauchery in these tunes. With songs like "My Drinkin" and "Surely Hang" these guys apparently mean business. You'll have to decide for yourself if this is cause for concern, or just a little monkeying around.
But you are sure to enjoy the ride!
Joel Ludwig's smooth-groove-bass provides impeccable support for BLUE's six string and vocal hi-jinx.
In a perfect world, BLUE could easily be the next Roy Thomas Baker, or Babyface. "Jawbreaker", for example, has that ridiculously catchy hook that could easily make it a hit. But, it could take a bit of good luck for Mr. Gorsky to move the masses.
Booze Monkey will probably find themselves a slightly more discerning audience.
Then again, they could very well re-define the blues for a whole new generation!
