Jo Jo Gunne - Jo Jo Gunne (1972)

Jo Jo Gunne, named after a Chuck Berry song, were a classic rock band from the early 70's. With members from the defuct band, Spirit, they had a single hit with the song Run Run Run. Their self-titled release, including the hit, turns out to be a mixed bag. It's got some nice country blues-inspired guitar & driving bass lines. There's also a heavy dose of piano. The anthemic track I Make Love has that catchy LA rock sound & is hard to hate. Being on Asylum records, I also can't help comparing them to Joe Walsh, but with less presence.
