"Nearly 30 years after his first album, Gordon should be better known, as should Christensen, who was a staple in the Los Angeles punk and jazz scenes before her extraordinary collaborations with Leonard Cohen, and then a solo career. But these things happen. Now comes a record that adroitly fuses Christensen’s exploratory vocals with Gordon’s vividly drawn emotional and physical landscapes. The result brings out the best in both of them, especially in the way Christensen unearths veins of gold that were hiding in plain sight..." - Amos Perrine, NO DEPRESSION

lyrics

 Gatling Gun
(©Kevin Gordon, Little Rain Music BMI) 

If I had a rocket ship and a Gatling gun 
I’d fly all the way up to the sun
 Shoot it full of holes til I put out the light  
Fall back to the ocean and call it a night   

Gonna call John Henry help build me a railroad  
Straight through the coal mines, pick up a big load  
Dig a hole to China, ride it on down  
Keep sinking low til I come out on higher ground

  I still see her there  
How the river wind plays her hair  
Gold in fallen light  
Right by my side

  I could take a razor to my blank stare  
Bleed out every memory of her in there  
Toss my eyes like dice into the sky  
But I’d come up empty, still asking why   

I still see her there  
How the river wind plays her hair 
Gold in fallen light  
On the levee by my side  
Giving me her time  
The wild meadow of her mind  
The bloom of her soft kiss  
Why can’t it stay like this  
And nothing less?   

These days nothing stays the same  
But my tongue remembers the shape of her name  
Love is free and free to roam  
But I can’t quit no matter how far away she goes

I still see her there  
How the river wind plays her hair 
Gold in fallen light  
On the levee by my side  
Giving me her time  
The wild meadow of her mind  
The bloom of her soft kiss  
Why can’t it stay like this  
And nothing less?
