Um cantor/compositor conhecido por seu rico e expressivo barítono, o nativo de Nova Jérsei John Gorka foi uma das principais luzes do novo movimento do folk. John começou sua carreira enquanto frequentava a faculdade em Pensilvânia no começo dos anos 80, aparecendo em noites de open-mike em um café local antes de eventualmente formar seu próprio grupo, The Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Logo ele caiu na estrada, performando pela Costa Leste de cima

Houses in the Fields -- John Gorka
(from the 1991 album, "Jack's Crows)
Intro: GDC EmDC
Verse 1: GDC They're growing houses in the fields between the towns EmDCG And the Starlight Drive-in movie's closing down GDC The road is gone to the way it was before EmDC And the spaces won't be spaces anymore
Verse 2: GDC Two more farms were broken by the drought EmDCG First the Wagners now the Fullers pulling out GDC Developers paid better than the corn EmDC But this was not the place where they were born
Chorus: GCD There's houses in the fields, no prayers for steady rain this year CDC Houses in the fields, there's houses in the fields GAmDGC The last few farms are growing out of here
Verse 3: GDC At first he wouldn't sell and then he would EmDCG Now there'll be children playing where the silos stood GDC The word came from the marrow of his bones EmDC It was the last sure way to pay off all the loans
Verse 4: GDC The new streets will be named for kings and queens EmDCG And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream GDC The model sign is crested with a lion EmDC And the farmers they will have enough to die on
(Chorus)
Verse 5: GDC Oh I guess no one should be afraid of change EmDC G But tell me why is there a fence for every open range? GDC It's a sign I'm getting on in years EmDC When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears
(Chorus)
Final Verse: GDC They're growing houses in the fields between the towns EmDCG And the Starlight Drive-in movie is all closed down GDC The road is gone to the way it was before EmDC And the spaces won't be spaces anymore GAmDG No the spaces won't be spaces anymore
