Grievous Angels – Gordie and My Old Man

"Gordie and My Old Man" is the final track on the Grievous Angels' second album, One Job Town, released in 1990, produced by John Switzer and nominated for a 1991 Juno Award as Best Roots or Traditional Album. It is one of two singles from the album that garnered some national radio airplay.

Although I had been a fan of L'Etranger, with whom Chuck Angus recorded three EPs, I hadn't heard of Grievous Angels until my brother Tim introduced this album to me around the time of the 1992 Mar*Star poll.
