NEW GORDON THOMAS CD OUT NOW!
EVERYTHING'S COMING MY WAY (2008)

(GT 009)

Gordon Thomas announces the release of his latest CD, featuring brand new tracks and re-recordings of little-known GT classics! The album is entitled Everything's Coming My Way (not to be confused with the GT documentary of the same name). It was produced by Berlin-based Canadian musician Taylor Savvy, recorded in Montreal, Berlin and New York City, and features appearances by Gonzales and Mocky, producers/co-writers of the recent hit Feist album The Reminder, as well as several top musicians from the Montreal and Berlin jazz communities. Savvy's thoughtful arrangements and production, and a return to major studio recording and live musical accompaniment, make this one of Gordon's best releases in years!

The Bride / Madonna / Mariah / With You Around / Clap Your Hands / Interlude 1 / Judy / Cher / Pearl / Interlude 2 / Rock 'n' Rolling Dance

REVIEWS

"Montreal-based filmmakers Stacey DeWolfe and Malcolm Fraser have done society a huge favour by tracking down octogenarian American outsider musician Gordon Thomas and letting him tell his life story... odd and inspirational... lovely."
- John Griffin, Montreal Gazette
<Read article>

"Fraser and DeWolfe are gifted documentarists - their understated portrait of Mr. Thomas in engrossing and emotional."
- Melora Koepke, Hour Montreal
<Read article>

"...he is the most humble, optimistic and inspiring human being you will ever come across... you can’t help but marvel at his indomitable spirit... his impact on the world, small as it may be, will have changed lives forever."
- Laura Bell, Bermuda Sun

"Gordon Thomas is a musician whose work falls squarely outside of the popular commercial realm, yet his sincere self produced albums are exquisite gems of an idiosyncratic, highly personal style which is as unassuming and direct as it is accessible, yet subtle."
- Citizen Kafka
