Kevin Gordon is currently touring in support of his latest release, O Come Look at the Burning, from which the title track is currently being used in the Dewar's White Label Scotch Whiskey national advertising "Dewarisms" campaign.

"o Come Look at the Burning" also features a song that Gordon wrote with Gwil Owen, "Flowers", which was recorded and released by Irma Thomas on her 2007 Grammy-winning "After the Rain" CD.

From the Nashville Scene:

"To paraphrase Bono, art is created while either running toward or away from something. If so, then Kevin Gordon has it coming and going. He’s a certified scholar whose second major is swampy rock ’n’ roll, and the tension among his many inclinations supplies the struggle so many artists need. Gordon has an MFA in writing from the University of Iowa, which gave him the tools to hone his lyrics about hotrods and hell-bent lovers into sharp detail. But the guitar that he pounds on during shows came with no instructions. Even though he admits that guitar playing is a perpetual thorn in his side, his bluesy, sauntering style is all his own, and it accompanies the character sketches on his latest CD O Come Look at the Burning like a steady but seething companion."

THE NEW RELEASE:

o COME LOOK AT THE BURNING
