"Kevin Gordon's 'O Come Look At The Burning' may be the least
classifiable of the [Nashville Underground] lot but perhaps the best, with a
strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."--Playboy, September 2006
"An absolutely magnificent piece of work--stunning, really--from an under-recognized Nashville treasure"--Peter Cooper, The Tennessean, re: my current release, o come look at the burning; 12/25/05
Buddy Miller talks about o Come Look at the Burning:
"I love the record. I get transported to a beautiful, strange, familiar place. It's where the best music comes from. Deep and soulful. I can't take it off. It reminds me of why I love music"
