Kevin Gordon – Poetry of the blues
Midnight. September 10, 2005. Nashville, Tennessee. Joe McMahan, Kevin Gordon’s guitarist, engineer and co-producer, stands back by the Station Inn bar and watches the John Cowan Band play to a packed room. “I don’t know about this crowd,” he says. “Maybe we should open with a gospel number.” His girlfriend, singer-songwriter Jennifer Nicely, looks equally [...]

Kevin Gordon – Down to the Well
Have you ever driven on a lazy afternoon down some asphalt-cracked state route and gone through an aging, run-down town? Then you’ve lived a Kevin Gordon song. It’s a place where “mud colored dogs [are] guarding shotgun shacks” and a “black crow [is] pecking at a roadkill coon.” It makes sense, then, that Gordon duets [...]

Kevin Gordon – He can’t get no
Kevin Gordon couldn’t be more at home with his musical roots. The West Monroe, Louisiana, native inhabits the swamp blues, honky-tonk and rockabilly he heard growing up in the ’60s with the unassuming ease of a performer twice his age. The roots that lend Gordon’s music its tension are, rather, social and historical. On Illinois [...]

Kevin Gordon / Kevin Johnson – The Sutler (Nashville, TN)
“You really need to hear this Kevin Gordon tape. I’ll tell him to get in touch with you.” That’s how it started. Scott Esbeck of Los Straitjackets and I were talking about really good music. A couple of days later I got the Kevin Gordon tape in the mail and I was sold. “I’ve got [...]
