WHAT
THE MEDIA IS SAYING ABOUT BLUES VENOM - NO CURE & JAY
GORDON
"What really caught my ear with this Blues CD is how each
studio-recorded song has the heart and soul of the live show...I can visualize
the the cigarette smoke rhythmically gyrating seductively in the spotlight; I
can feel the stretch of every note squeezed out of the guitar strings until they
snap from red hot finger picking. It's great to hear a contemporary blues artist
who's been at this for a while and knows how to write and perform good music."
ALL ACCESS MAGAZINE
"I believe that it is a mild understatement for me to say that
California-based blues rocker guitarist Jay Gordon is an "envelope pusher"...if
you have been shipwrecked for the past several years and not heard any of his
work, Gordon is another of those phenomenally gifted
guitarists/singer/songwriters who for some reason flies just below the
collective radars of many mainstream music fans. Gordon plays with the intensity
of Walter Trout, Frank Zappa or Alvin Lee, the raw passion of Johnny Winter or
Houndog Taylor, and does it all with the precision of the world's finest Swiss
watch. Unpredictable, impossible to categorize, and chaotic. It is also
brilliant."
BLUESROCKERS
"BLUES VENOM - NO CURE is a solid album of thirteen songs
that show how Gordon can appeal to fans of both traditional blues as well as
fans of rock-infused with a healthy does of blues....if you fall into either
category, this is an album worth adding to your collection." OC MUSIC EXAMINER
