Robert Gordon with Mick Hanson

"Jukebox"   "A Whole Lotta Christmas Boogie"  digital singles

(Self-issued)





New York's Mick penned both numbers, and in 2005 enlisted legend Robert to lay down vocals. ("A master in the studio, who always delivered to the best of his ability," the axeman recalls of The Voice.) Country lamentation "Jukebox" merits rank with Gordon's earlier readings of "The Fool" and "There Stands the Glass."  And it matters not that the tree-trimming season has passed; Mick's "Christmas Boogie" bears evergreen charms.

Fret sovereigns with whom Robert worked magic included Link Wray, Chris Spedding, Danny Gatton, and Barry Ryan. Mick assumes post in that number. (These tracks are two of seven on which Mick and Robert collaborated. One hopes the remaining five will soon feel sunlight.)
