"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.
Kevin- God Don't Ever Change- Great song a journey down roads that appear to have changed but the footprints of those that preceded us crowd the highway even before there was a highway. Hope to catch you at Fitzgerads and hope you and MC might team up in a future Chicago Gig. Great work- God don't ever change- in words, music , vocals you've captured moments out of the air that were waiting for your talents to make these feelings blend into a song with many colors shaded in your determined faith cause God don't ever change.

Hey Kev, "Step in Time" has just replaced Zepplin's "Kashmir" as my favorite all-time song. I don't believe I have ever had a song transport me back into such a fragile time. Monty says "hey".
