Review

Armed with a thick, sneering voice and a pocketful of vivid, gritty songs, Kevin Gordon builds on the success of his 1998 debut, Cadillac Jack's #1 Son. He searches desolate streets, endless highways, seedy rooms, and back alleys to find his lost-soul characters, much like Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, and fellow Louisiana native Lucinda Williams, who guests on the opening track. Gordon's stories would be genuine enough just on the basis of the events and emotions portrayed, but he loads them all with precise details and graphic imagery that makes them stick even more. The "red door on a green Cadillac," the "pencil-lead-gray afternoon," the "orange lingerie" on a "hundred-dollar whore," the "rusted rails like the ribs of the skeleton," the "steam-ghosts" that "float from the road," the "feeling stingin' like a new tattoo"--each serves to intensify his tales. Gordon's Southern mixture borrows from country, rock, blues, and soul, and as memorable as his songs are, it's his dripping voice that truly allows them to pierce. --Marc Greilsamer
