''Between Five and Seven'' is as the name suggests, the sixth studio album by folk singer-songwriter John Gorka. It was released in August 1996. It is the last of the five albums Gorka recorded for Windham Hill/High Street Records before returning to the smaller, Red House label. Gorka produced the album with John Jennings who also produced Gorka's previous record, ''Out of the Valley''. Unlike the previous record made in Nashville, Tennessee, the recording was done at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota and the instrumentation has been described as "more acoustic, less pop-oriented." 〔("The Graham Weekly Album Review #1038" ) by George Graham〕 Paisley Park is southwest of Minneapolis and is the studio designed and owned by the artist, Prince. The album includes several lyrical portraits of Gorka's misfit characters, love songs, and philosophical musings. The songs are also full of the wordplay for which Gorka has become known. The album features an impressive array of supporting musicians. Lucy Kaplansky and Jennifer Kimball add carefully placed harmony volcals to many tracks. John Jennings also brings along several other members of Mary Chapin Carpenter's band including drummer Robbie Magruder, guitarist Dean Magraw, and pianist Jonathan Carroll. Gorka's fellow Minnesotan Peter Ostroushko sits in on mandolin. As with many of Gorkas recordings Michael Manring plays fretless bass on nearly half of the songs. The tracks alternate between two different sets of instrumentalists which varies the pace of the music. The two bass players styles are distinct enough for the listener to recognize the difference. == Track listing == All songs written by John Gorka # "Lightning's Blues" – 3:54 # "Blue Chalk" – 4:41 # "Can't Make Up My Mind" – 4:10 # "The Mortal Groove" – 3:25 # "My Invisible Gun" – 2:58 # "Part of Your Own" – 3:29 # "Two Good Reasons" – 4:07 # "Airstream Bohemians" – 5:20 # "Paradise, Once" – 3:09 # "Campaign Trail" – 4:05 # "Edgar the Party Man" – 3:27 # "Scraping Dixie" – 6:27 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Between Five and Seven」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
