Brian Gladstone - Psychedelic Pholk Psongs
Silverwolf - SWC 1032

This acoustic CD by Toronto singer/songwriter Brian Gladstone shows talents in several directions of folk, country and lyrical prowess. "Asphalt Cowboy" kicks things off with a bluegrass feel and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, while "Save The Wolverine" is more of a passionate plea with a traditional folk edge. The snappy "I Like Me" is a hand-clapping hoot that is followed by the new-age kissed folk of "Do You Think" that showcases Brian's guitar picking abilities. With lyrics you will love to listen to and try to quote and so many wonderful ways to convey them, the music of Brian Gladstone is some of the best modern folk in a long time.
