Hardscrabble Road
Pipe Street Records
2005
Inspired by the "Beggar's Opera" and its successor the "Three-Penny Opera"—Hardscrabble Road's music is a hybrid combination of folk, pop, jazz, rock and world beat sounds.
Recorded at Guelph's Pipe Street Studio and produced by James and his son Evan, this recording features the original cast from the 2003 live debut at Guelph's River Run Centre. Gordon shares the lead vocals with a "Who's Who" of the Guelph area's music scene: Ken Brown, Nonie Crete, Sandy Horne, Amy Nodwell and Ryan Schneider. Lois Cherry, Marion Linton, Evan Gordon and Randall Coryell join James as the principle instrumentalists.
