The Guitar Player's Resource
Aggressive slide guitar - and then some! Really, it doesn't begin to describe what Jay Gordon brings to the blues party. For proof, check out the amazing slide guitar, vocals, and overall energy found on Gold Rings Silver Bullets, the latest from Jay Gordon And The Penetrators. Fans of Blues Bureau International's rockers-turned-bluesmen Pat Travers and Rick Derringer need to check out the axe work and intensity emanating from Gordon's six string - it hits you right in the gut like an Oscar De La Hoya body blow. Many find it hard to distinguish themselves when they play blues, but Gordon and his band immediately impress because they do have their unique presence that allows the listener to identify them after only listening to a couple of bars. Looking for passion, blood, guts and scraped knuckles from your blues? Check out the latest offering from Jay Gordon - Gold Rings Silver Bullets. Wow! Jay Gordon And The Penetrators were originally profiled in the June-July, 2007 edition of The Undiscovered.
Jay Gordon, renowned throughout both Europe and the U.S. for his over-the-top, sizzling live performances, recorded a series of albums for Blue Ace that have inspired comparisons to such legendary guitarists as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Beginning with "Blues Infested" (1994), Gordon won much praise from the blues community. Each successive album became increasingly successful - "Broadcasting The Blues Live" (1996), "Electric Redemption" (1998), and so on - and the guitarist soon found himself being compared to some of the most legendary guitarists to ever play electric blues. Jay's song "Drippin' Blues" is featured on the current Electric Blues Radio Playlist. In 2000, Gordon collaborated with Phillip Walker on the "Jaywalkin" album for Blue Ace, yet another accomplishment for the celebrated guitarist.
Gordon will be featured on nationally syndicated radio program, Blues Deluxe, during the week of June 10-16. "Jay Gordon and the Penetrators are one of our favorite ways to rock the blues!" said Dave Johnson, host of Blues Deluxe - which is heard weekly on over 100 stations across the U.S. with a two million-plus listenership.
