review in the Dutch magazine Ode

John Gorka:
Between Five and Seven (High Street/BMG)
Elke scheiding tussen publiek en privé is John Gorka vreemd. In
zijn liedjes weet hij politieke en relationele verwikkelingen naadloos
te vervlechten, waarbij het grotere altijd wordt belicht vanuit
het kleinere. Met zijn neus voor sterke melodieën, zijn scherpe
maar altijd poëtische pen en zijn sonore bariton heeft hij zich
een unieke plaats in het 'singer-songwriter' genre verworven. Complexe
intermenselijke verhoudingen worden soms met één zinnetje vlijmscherp
neergezet: 'His neck was red enough for two'. De akoestische gitaar
van Dean Magraw en de mandoline van Peter Ostroushko zorgen voor
extra luisterplezier.

about:Blue Chalk
(by MrFizyx on Wikipedia):
''Blue
Chalk'' was first recorded by Irish singer,Maura O'Connel for
her 1995 album, ''Stories''. More recently it has also been covered
in concert performances by Lucy Kaplansky.[
Cover of "Blue Chalk" can be heard on "Lucy
Kaplansky Live at Beachland Ballroom on 2006-02-10"]
The title of "Blue Chalk" refers to the chalk used in billiards.
The song introduces a pair of Gorka's characters a woman and a man.
Gorka describes the male character's addiction: He could always
find the holes in the bottles Even with a blindfold on Never kept
his seat on the wagon Rolling off like a rolling stone
