raves for:
The Real Thing
" The album drips with the sounds of mid-'70s inner-city soul: huge grooves and hallelujah harmonies bolster playful melodies, while vintage keyboards swirl in the warm and spacious production. With at least two drop-dead singles, "Do Your Thing" (video in the works) and "All That We Own," Gordon has come into his own by stepping outside of himself." -- Vancouver Courier (click to see whole review)
"...Conjures up a classic R&B feel that's hard to resist." -- Shawn Conner, Georgia Straight, click here for full review
“…(Veers)
through blues, R&B, soul, and funk to come up with a groove-laden,
danceable, rich sound that will instantly move you. Gordon musters
up all he has to make his voice resonate with you, while the diversity
of his playing...makes you cheer him on.
“ This is a golden album that aims high with its vision and lands right
on its mark.“
Alex Steininger, inmusicwetrust.com
"An amazing album." Fiona Forbes, CityTV
" A
deep, down and loaded platter of greasy keyboards, raise-your-hands-up
choruses and Motown and Stax-Volt melodic lines." - Stuart
Derdyn, Vancouver Province
"A funny
thing happened to Myk Gordon on the way to the studio. His latest
collection of folk-rock-type pop mutated into a soul record. As
if thinking that "if Remy Shand can do it, I can too," Gordon
has made it look easy and natural." Tom Harrison,
Province
Rating 3 /5
"...the best to come out of this city in a while." Vancouver Courier

PRESS.
.." ...A
strongly accomplished performer, he mixes pop, rock and folky influences to fine
effect.." -- TimeOut, London
"...Lively intelligent rock and roll. Gordon's brand of
songwriting and
performing encompasses a wealth of experience."
The Annex Gleaner
" This
long-time Vancouver singer and guitar player has acquired a following for his
poetic handling of folk and rock songs....He's a singer on the rise, so catch
him on the way."
Vancouver Sun
"Destined for the collective vocabulary of Canadian music."
Uptown Magazine"A steady hand when mixing pop, folk, emotion
and intelligence and squeezing the likes of Lonely out the other end. He's a
skilled singer with a range capable
of delivering the emotional needs of a song."
Toronto Star
"Gordon's voice and guitar playing are a sure-fire prediction he will rise
in status in the music industry."
The Gleaner, Langara College BC
"Gifted with a sense of proverbial Canadian poetry...his lyrics carry heavy
emotional weight and set him apart from country and folk rockers touring Canada."
Under The Volcano Festival
"...An articulate writer with an ear for melody and a deftness for getting
to the chorus and the point of the song."
Top Ten Independent CDs, 1994, 1998
The Vancouver Province
" Lonely,
like his 1994 release Seventh Candle, is well-crafted, features all sorts of
stellar back-up musicians, and great songs. Gordon's deft blend of folk and country,
rock and pop influences adds up to a compelling and cohesive
work.
...A keenly striking and original voice."
Vancouver Courier
