In this episode we continue to go deep into his career, delving into all his albums after signing with A&amp;M Records. With super radio-friendly songs such as <em>Turn the Lights On, Diggin’ a Hole, The Scene, If I Had My Way, Better Get Used to It,</em> <em>Roads Ahead </em>and the classic anthem <em>All Hell For A Basement</em>, Gordie achieved 3 PLATINUM awards for the albums Hemi-Vision, Heated and Brothers and Sisters, Are You Ready?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We also touch on the reasons why Gordie left Canada to live in Austin (where he co-founded the ‘cowboy metal’ band, Grady), his eventual return to Canada, his bout with carpal tunnel and his seemingly never ending tour of all Canada's beautiful provinces.&nbsp;We end our conversation with Gordie's advice on getting started as an upcoming musician/artist. </p><p><br></p><p>Always insightful and with great stories to tell, this chat with Gordie was truly a special one for me because of our shared history and the renewed interest in the album 500 pounds, thanks to JACK WHITE.</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy!&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Tom (Toomas) Treumuth"}
