James Gordon makes'Pipe Street Dreams' sweet

(4 out of 5 stars)

"In his first solo effort since leaving the popular Canadian folk group Tamarack, James Gordon shows that he has not lost his touch at writing moving (and sometimes funny) songs. He is at his best in songs like 'Coke Oven Brook' which documents the pollution of a town's water supply by run off from a steel mill. 'Jumbo's Last Ride' tells the story of the death of the famous giant circus elephant in order to save the life of his friend Tom Thumb and raises questions about mans' relationship with animals. Not everything here is great, but is all very good."
