Release Notes:
--------
Great songwriters are a dime a dozen in Nashville, but Kevin Gordon is an
anomaly: a recovering poet who is better at selling outsider art than country
hits, though Keith Richards and Levon Helm have sung his songs. The centerpiece
here, "Colfax/Step in Time," is a slow-burning 10-minute slice of life about a
kid in the desegregated South, with Gordon's talking-blues-meets-codeine-rap
flow remembering his marching-band days and slyly rhyming "Kool and the Gang"
and "Ku Klux Klan." Meanwhile, the title track parses religious fervor in terms
of politicians and human bombs. But the smarts on Gloryland never undercut the
roots-rock rush. Dude's a juke-joint professor emeritus.
