The Reverend's friend and former editor Fred Mills has delivered a lengthy review of Rollin' 'n' Tumblin', my latest book, for Blurt magazine online, Fred's insightful comments are accompanied by an email interview between the two of us. Here's but a taste of Fred's book review:
"Rev. Gordon’s just-published Rollin’ ‘n’ Tumblin’,
a compendium of over 100 long-form (e.g., 400+ words, with many
clocking in at over 1,000) blues reviews that he wrote from 2008 to 2014
for such venues as Blues Music here in the States and The Blues in the U.K., plus All Music Guide, BLURT, and
About.com where Gordon authored that site’s “Blues Guide” section,
doing reviews, interviews and features. These are actual, genuine,
honest-to-Wolf, get-your-mojo-workin’ blues reviews, the kind that
display an abiding passion for the artform, an appreciation for and deep
knowledge of its history, and most important, the kind of descriptive,
illuminating and no holds barred style of writing that serves to make
its subject come alive."
