the present tense:

"Kevin Gordon's 'O Come Look At The Burning' may be the least classifiable of the [Nashville Underground] lot but perhaps the best, with a strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."--Playboy, September 2006

"An absolutely magnificent piece of work--stunning, really--from an under-recognized Nashville treasure"--Peter Cooper, The Tennessean, re: my current release, o come look at the burning; 12/25/05

Buddy Miller talks about o Come Look at the Burning:

"I love the record. I get transported to a beautiful, strange, familiar place. It's where the best music comes from. Deep and soulful. I can't take it off. It reminds me of why I love music...."

songs i've written have been recorded by keith richards, levon helm, irma thomas, webb wilder, ronnie hawkins, sonny burgess, david zollo, blackie and the rodeo kings, southside johnny and the asbury jukes, kate campbell and pat gallagher.

special guests on my records include lucinda williams (down to the well), charles "wigg" walker (flowers), kate campbell(dissatisfied), and my old friend bo ramsey.

Meet Eugene Walter. Born in 1921 in Mobile, died there three-quarters of a century later. He was, he said, "just something that got loose from Alabama," a "student of human endeavors on this busy planet," member of "a union called international cats and monkeys." "Polysexual" by inclination, he believed that "the very best sex is to be in a phone booth, naked, with a lot of butterflies." He traveled with "only the bare essentials: my Remington typewriter, my stuffed monkey in a bell jar, and a box of gold paper stars to sprinkle on the stairways of my apartment building." He was the sole inhabitant of Planet Eugene: "And once I was on a bus with Dame Edith Sitwell. We were the only two people on a Sixth Avenue bus in a snowstorm. I had been downtown shopping for castanets. That's the story of my life: out shopping for castanets in a snowstorm."
