AMG Review of Between Five and Seven

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

On Between Five and Seven, John Gorka opens up his sound somewhat, touching on contemporary pop and rock without losing his confessional folk foundation. The result can be frustrating at times -- occasionally, the production obscures the simple beauty of his melodies -- but overall, the album is another winner from Gorka, one of the finest songwriters of the '90s.
