Alex Jordan (from the album Queen Kerosene available on Alexander James Jordan Records)
A ready and reliable sideman who’s earned his musical stripes with any number of ongoing outfits, Alex Jordan has come into his own with the fiery Queen Kerosene, an album that infuses an easy-going sound with a well-stocked variety of rootsy references. Produced by Steve Berlin (a key member of the band Los Lobos) it veers from the relentless Rock of the title track to the easy embrace of “Blue”, a song originally shared by The Jayhawks. Aided and abetted by singer Carrie Rodriguez, accordion player Josh Baca (the protege of Norteño), icon Flaco Jiménez, and horns on a few occasional cuts, it’s upbeat and infectious, as evidenced by the compelling come-on of “Welcoming Call”, the funk-fueled “Tidefall”, the casual saunter of “What’s Become of Me”, and the brass-infused “Emily”.
Alex Jordan’s years of road work have clearly given him the confidence and credence needed to step out as a solo artist, given the fact that this debut effort reflects the work of a master musician who clearly has the instincts and insight to make inviting melodies effectively elevated by instantly infectious hooks. Queen Kerosene burns brightly.
