Polka music lovers everywhere will welcome this first album by this great Canadian band. John Gora and the Gorale play a mix of the old and the new with a tempo that can't help but drive you to dance. John and the band have excited Polka lovers in many parts for the Northeast and have even touched the hearts of the people of California. We hope that this will be the first in a long line of albums displaying the unique style of the Gorale. (Gene Swick/San Diego California)
