Music reviews of I Know
Music Review: First albums aren't always the best!
Rating: 4 Stars
I grew up with this album, and with Gorka himself; my father was an early fan of the Arlington Folk scene and so Gorka, Colvin, Vega, and Massengil (among others) seem like old standards to me even as they "hit the bigtime" in the eyes of others. But let's be realistic -- this album is inconsistent. Sure, especially if you're used to seeing Gorka live the gems on this early album are fun and easy to listen to (see especially shorts "Like my Watch," Branching Out" and "Out of my Mind" for often-played-live deep cuts), but some of the strongest cuts from here can can be had on Gorka's stronger albums (see his second release Land of the Bottom Line for the same studio versions of "Love is Our Cross to Bear" and "Stranger with your Hair), and a few songs on "I Know" are just too tempting to program out of the rotation (especially that awful song about Judy Garland, and, although I'm sure others will beg to differ, "BB King" really doesn't work as well in the recorded version as it does live on stage. The short version of all that? The short songs on this album (some less than two minutes!) are gems, but all the full-length songs can either be found elsewhere or don't hold up to Gorka's later best. Ultimately, this album is strong at beginning and end but weaker in the middle -- unless you are working towards owning the full Gorka catalog (a noble pursuit), I'd stick with Jack's Crows and Land of the Bottom Line.
