I can't manage to get tired of it....,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Between Five & Seven (Audio CD)
I've had this CD for about a year now. I bought it (along with lots of others) after seeing Cry Cry Cry live at Town Hall in NYC -- perhaps the most wonderful musical performance I've ever experienced in 30 years of attending shows. Tracing the musical lineage of the CCC artists leads to a group of incredible singer songwriters. Gorka is one of the best of the group. I've listened to this CD at least a hundred times. I'd say at least twenty times I've listened to it all the way through, then just hit play again. I simply love this album. No question, "Blue Chalk" is an awesome song. But I especially love "Two Good Reasons," "The Mortal Groove" and "Scraping Dixie" (did anyone pick up the reference to "Honore", a James Keelaghan song?). The man has a very rare ability to make words work, to create images, impossible images, notions... it's what poetry is all about. And great music that works with it. A rare, rare artist. J. Mark Lane

I can't believe this CD is so good!,
By Tim Bolt (Madisonville, Louisiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Between Five & Seven (Audio CD)
I bought this CD blindly from a music club, not knowing what I was getting. It was one of the best risks I've ever taken. The songwriting is superlative! Amazing insights into human character (or characters!)and very beautiful songs. I cried like a baby the first time I listened to "Part of Your Own" ... over and over again for an hour straight; it captured my feelings towards my own mother. I also love "The Mortal Grove" and "Edgar the Party Man." I've known many "Edgars" in my time. These songs seem to identify and beautifully describe unarticulated observations and moods that we all experience.

Love is the Reason,

The song on this CD that captivated me was "Two Good Reasons." In just a few simple words, John shows us the Meaning of Life and the reasons for keeping on keeping on. John Gorka is an incredible lyricist, writes songs with substance, humor and that are downright pleasin' to the ear. Any John Gorka CD is worth the listen, and this one is worth it for that one song. Listen closely to the words.
