    The album's centerpiece is the autobiographical 10-minute "Colfax/Step In Time," a richly detailed remembrance of a run-in between his high school marching band and the KKK. [Mar 2012, p.84]

    Gordon may have a felicity for language, but he also likes to rock.

    Between the exquisite wordplay and dusky melodies, there's plenty to return to in these tunes.

    Gloryland certainly stands as a glorious example of Americana songwriting.

    He knows exactly how to build and sustain interest in a song, even the ones that don't hit you over the head with obvious hooks.

    The smarts on Gloryland never undercut the roots-rock rush.
