At last,returning to the good times

Review Score: (10/10)
At last a new CD from Gordon which takes me back to the "If you could read my mind" type of music that he did so well. Listen to the wonderful story of the aging country singer who can remember about the times that she was a country singer."I used to be country singer". Gordon seems to be telling us his own story in "A Painter passing Through". The only sad part about this CD is that there are only ten tracks, nine are a real joy to listen to. Truly a great album, let us hope that the record company sees fit to publicise and have a few DJ's playing it. I have been playing nearly every track down here in Tasmania on my local station on which I do a show every week. Only problem is it has not been released in Australia yet.
