Jay Gordon (blues musician)

Jay Gordon is an American blues rock guitarist who recorded with Phillip Walker for his album Jaywalkin.

[3] Many journalists have praised Gordon for his instrument prowess,[2][3] but there are also many critics who claim that despite his ability to play fast, he is too loud, his solos are too long and are performed in poor taste, one even saying "Gordon’s constant wailing solos that become long, self-indulgent and some of the most uneconomical guitar playing around and some poor lyrics that lack a sense of the blues.

[5] Gordon was born in Charlotte, North Carolina[6] and later raised in Chicago, Illinois, "where at an early age he was exposed to jazz and blues by his grandmother, who played the piano and organ."

While his songs tell about overcoming heartache, being an outcast, partying all night long, and starting up a relationship, each one comes loaded with fire.
