James Gordon has that special something you find in writers like Hoagy Carmichael, Lerner and Loew, Leiber and Stoller, Buddy Holly, and the elite of modern songwriters. James Gordon has what the Irish call The Gift. He has a way with words that makes them slip by the ear all natural and yet s t ill sound exotic and bright with potentials."
