Fortunately, both sides of Colvin get considerable play on Whole New You . The other half of the CD seems less concerned with reaching the masses, easing back on the poppiness and letting Colvin's weighty, smartly crafted lyrics and the understated charm of her melodies do the work. Interestingly enough, Whole New You manages to avoid sounding schizophrenic. With this finely crafted CD, Colvin shows she can have her music both ways and succeed quite nicely. In his new CD, the company you keep , loyal listeners are treated to an inside glimpse of the new Gorka, settled-down husband and father, who maintains a keen sense of humor while waxing lyrical on a slightly more narrow human spectrum than in previous albums.
Nothing is lost in the translation.
But true Gorka devotees stretch their ears toward his muscular, simple lyrics which, here, reflect top form. More to love, more to feel, more to do and more to lose. Gorka's been around for a long time, but I'd venture he's never been in a better place than the place he's in right now, both personally and professionally. Strum Johnny B. Connolly blows the mist from Celtic music. Where to find live music in the Colorado Springs area.
