His stories are honest, his melodies always interesting and memorable, and his voice one of the warmest and richest in texture. He's consistent too. As always, what you get from Gorka on record is basically what you get if you see him on the coffeehouse stage: an instant, personal and direct connection to his artistry and personality. After Yesterday marks his return to the Red House imprint after a ten-year junket on Windham Hill, but nothing about Gorka has changed in the transition. Here again, his songs are adorned primarily with his own acoustic guitar fingerpicking, plus a few added textures from Peter Ostroushko (mandolin, fiddle), Dean Magraw (acoustic guitar), Michael Manring (bass), Lucy Kaplansky (harmony vocals), and co-producer John Jennings (various instruments). (Jennings is best-known for his many collaborations with Mary Chapin Carpenter.) Gorka shares a familiar sentiment as he longs for Winter's end in "When The Ice Goes Out" -- with its hopeful message and catchy "shiver me this" hook, the opening cut is sure to please radio listeners. "Cypress Trees" and "After Yesterday" capture the bittersweetness of impending parenthood; later, peek into the crib with Gorka as he brags about his new son "When He Cries." "Amber Lee" and "Zuly" are more of Gorka's trademark character studies, and "St. Caffeine" is a bluegrass-flavored, tongue-in-cheek tribute to "the patron saint of consciousness." Long-time fans will be surprised to hear Gorka make his recording debut on the five-string banjo on this new project. Still, the words and the voice are front and center, and the instrumentation is always complementary. Gorka's greatest accomplishment may be his consistency in putting out high-quality material time after time. My all-time favorite may still be Land Of The Bottom Line, but this one is also very highly recommended. k l u d g e . s o u n d n o t e s KLUdGE is a mature group that came together from the best and oldest roots of the mpeg layer scene. Since the time of cda, much has evolved and changed into what mpeg3 is known as today. KSi is this new group that only rips the best out there and only what we feel needs to be ripped. KSi continues to grow and strives to find the best music for the people. We thank all the supporters and groups that have helped us get where we are today. We welcome all our new members that have joined within the last few months and make KSi what it is.
