“It is not yet on an album, and it will not be recorded by some famous country radio star. But we’ll empty your spit-valve for life if you find us anything more stunning than “Colfax” . . .” – Peter Cooper – The Tennessean

“Kevin Gordon’s O Come Look at the Burning may be the least classifiable . . . but perhaps the best . . .” - Leopold Froehlich – Playboy

“dirty and beautiful . . .” - Roy Kasten – No Depression

“Kevin Gordon was supposed to be a poet, and he wound up playing rock n’roll. His music isn’t a career choice, it’s a life.” - Grant Alden – Oxford American

From Arkansas Times, live review: “White Water is notoriously difficult to play quietly. And just about impossible to play solo. The same rowdy crowd that makes the room so fun on a packed night makes it downright miserable for a singer armed with nothing but a guitar against the noise. So when Gordon excused his rhythm section halfway through his set to play a few new songs, I cringed for him. But he did something I’ve not seen in over 15 years of frequenting White Water. He hushed the late-night audience. And with songs, in varying states of completion, they’d never heard before. The highlight was a meditation on a singular event from his past — marching in a parade with a junior high band and facing down the KKK — that manages to be incredibly funny and poignant.”

“…Sinewy, bluesy guitars and lyrics that mark Gordon as one of his generation’s most important and advanced musical wordsmiths.” — Peter Cooper, The Tennessean

“…the poor, benighted bastard appears to suffer from a surfeit of integrity. He also bears the burden of enormous talent. Gordon makes music thrilling in its multifarious resonance — believe it.”– Playback St. Louis

“A multifaceted diamond of rocking Southern soul, groove grease and songs that make you want to climb into the complicated world Gordon evokes with a natural-born musician’s feel and storyteller’s ear for nuance.”– Pasadena (CA) Weekly

“I love the record. I get transported to a beautiful, strange, familiar place. It’s where the best music comes from.Deep and soulful. It reminds me of why I love music….”– Buddy Miller, on “o Come Look at the Burning”

“Kevin Gordon’s [o Come Look at the Burning] has everything a Stones or Howlin’ Wolf fan could crave: snaking guitars, hammering drums, and gruff, bluesy vocals.”– Body & Soul magazine
