Details: John Gorka is one of the most well-loved singer/songwriters in the folk community. With a career spanning 40 years and a discography of 17 solo releases, he embodies the best of folk music with his eclectic blend of folk, blues, and bluegrass influences, with insightful lyrics and engaging delivery. On his new album, unentitled, Gorka reasserts his voice as a guiding light in the folk scene. The album opens with "Favorite Place," an upbeat reflection on the songwriter's life and the creative process. "A Light Exists in the Spring" is a setting of an Emily Dickinson poem brought to life by Gorka's sparkling acoustic guitar and warm, rich baritone vocal, which segues into "Particle & Wave (Goodness in the World)," an anthem to the power of kindness and the better angels of human nature. Gorka delivers a stunning rendition of the well-loved Stan Rogers song "Harris and The Mare" (the sole cover on the album) before closing with a reprise of "Particle & Wave." Joining Gorka on the project are Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson, fellow folk icons that share the Red House legacy with him. The album was produced by Rob Genadek John Gorka's career was launched in the mid-80s when he won the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984.
