Music reviews of Old Futures Gone
Music Review: One of the Best
Rating: 5 Stars
Have you ever listened to a CD, and then you had to listen to it again and again, pulling out the lyrics and examining them, then realizing this is one of the best collections of music you have heard in your life. This is what John Gorka does for me. If you have seen him play live you are more hooked!
The music is wonderful and so are the lyrics, stirring emotions deep in the heart.
Lyrics like, "There are doors that you walk through, that only swing one way. Once you cross the threshold, there's nothing words can say." Then his characteristic MMM...MMM...
or lyrics from "Always"..."I will always be lonely, it's what I'm going on about. Love is hope without doubt, hate is fear turned out."
or lyrics from "Shapes"..."Words are just the shapes that the heart moves through. On the way to finding out if whatever there is true."
and undoubtedly the best lyrics:
"We can learn from everyone
How to or not to be
But we can learn the most from those
Who think differently
Who think differently.
War makes war. It won't bring peace."
"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." Martin Luther King Junior
I'm also impressed because this CD is dedicated to the late Senator Paul Wellstone and wife Sheila.
One not only gets a sense that Gorka is a great and sensitive musician, he is also intensely politically aware. He has a message through his music that more should be tuned into in this day and age.
FIVE STARS!!

Description of Old Futures Gone
John Gorka's most realised recording in a career of fine recordings, "Old Futures Gone" takes an intriguing look at our unexpected present and tomorrows. With fresh stylistic turns and band-driven gentle grooves, the sound remains pure Gorka...his voice, melodies and lyrics riding on infectious, well-conceived arrangements. Joining him on guest vocals are new folk artists Lucy Kaplansky and Alice Peacock and soul singer Kathleen Johnson.Folk CDs
