I no longer write reviews, but when Ray Gianchetti of the mighty Kool Kat Musik asked me to provide a blurb for my pal Mr. Bruce Gordon's new album One Tall Order (released by long-time TIRnRR supporter Keith Klingensmith on his Futureman Records imprint), I was delighted to comply.
GET IT!! Either here or here. Tell 'em CC sent you.
Ladies and gentlemen, MR. BRUCE GORDON! You know him and love him as Mr. Encypto and as one-fourth of the irresistible Pop Co-Op. Now Bruce Gordon is ditching the "Encrypto" moniker, retaining his alter ego's honorific, and steppin' out under his own name for the first time since the dawn of ever.
Mr. Bruce Gordon's emergence from the power pop witness protection program results in the sublimely easy-going new album One Tall Order. One Tall Order is a sweet sway of ten engaging tracks steeped in lessons learned from a lifetime of listening: listening to the radio, AM and FM, listening to deep LP cuts, and listening between the grooves, to Motown and new wave, Steely Dan and British Invasion, folk and rock and singer-songwriter, the Church of Brian Wilson, and always to the rising voice within.
Fan and artist in one man, this peerless pop mister is ready to reveal his secret identity. Mr. Bruce Gordon. It's time we ALL knew that name.
