Warning: This disc will dare you to be blue on its own terms!
Gordon's guitar playing is to the blues what the attack on Pearl Harbor was to a peaceful Sunday morning in the South Pacific -- heinous and un-called for; screaming, free-falling, kamikaze dive-bombing; a deadly threat; full-throttle, head-on, and lethally potent; the consequences of which (beyond the kamikaze's ultimate release and spiritual redemption) are the last things considered, if they are ever considered at all.
With that said, a confession: I grinned through this entire disc -- bemused, admiring, wondering at Gordon's relentless audacity, his inventive outrageousness, and his sheer, brilliantly psychotic abandon. This might be too savage to be music; but it may very well be some perverse art.
