John Gorka - True In Time (CD) - CD

Details: 2018 release. After 14 critically acclaimed albums, countless national and international tours, and collaborations with the likes of Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ani DiFranco, Lucy Kaplansky, Patty Larkin, and many more, John Gorka is now releasing True In Time, a 12 song collection he put together with long time producer, Rob Genadek. The result of three days of "musical commotion" with a group of regular collaborators assembled by Genadek, the songs on True In Time span a lyrical spectrum from the spirit lives of dogs, to the people of the Taos Pueblo, to the idea that all songs manifest in time. Another special element are two lost songs, "Blues with A Rising Sun" and "Red Eye & Roses" both recovered by fan recordings that John felt found a place with his more recent compositions. The album was recorded "old school" with the musicians all playing together in one place, making up their own parts in the moment or in reaction to the demos he and Genendek had circulated prior to recording. The result is a lively, immediate listening experience certain to find a treasured spot in the collection of long time fans.
