Review by Johnny Lynch

Album Review: You're Never In My Way by Bobby Gosh (1972) Bobby Gosh's You're Never In My Way is one of those hidden gems from the early '70s rock scene that deserves a second listen—or maybe even a first. Released in 1972 under Polydor, this US-based project might not have set the charts on fire, but it’s got a raw charm that sticks with you. If you’re into gritty guitar riffs and lyrics that feel like they were scribbled in the back of a smoky bar, this album’s for you. The title track, "You're Never In My Way," kicks things off with a punch. It’s got this driving rhythm that feels like it’s pulling you forward, even when the vocals take a slightly rougher edge. What makes it memorable? Probably the way the melody seems to waver between frustration and longing. You can almost picture Gosh pacing around a small studio, pouring his heart out. The guitar solo halfway through isn’t flashy—it’s more like a conversation, as if the instrument itself has something to say. It’s not perfect, but that’s kinda the point. Another standout is “Backseat Driver” (yeah, that’s a real track on here). It’s slower, moodier, and gives off serious late-night vibes. The bassline groans in all the right places, and the lyrics are just cryptic enough to make you lean in closer. There’s a moment near the end where everything drops out except for the piano and Gosh’s voice—it’s haunting, man. Feels like he’s letting you in on some secret he doesn’t want anyone else to hear. What’s wild about this album is how unpolished it feels compared to today’s overproduced stuff. It’s not trying too hard to impress; it just exists. And honestly? That’s refreshing. Listening to it now, in 2023, it’s like stepping into a time capsule where music was still figuring itself out. Here’s the kicker though—why did this album slip under the radar? Was it the lack of radio play? Or maybe Polydor didn’t push it hard enough? Either way, You're Never In My Way feels like a forgotten chapter in rock history. Give it a spin if you can find it. Who knows? Maybe it’ll remind you why we fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll in the first place. Oh, and one last thing—don’t ask me why, but after listening to this record, I suddenly had an urge to call my ex. Make of that what you will.
