"Psychedelic Pholk Psongs" ... a very different album to any I have heard in my 35yrs as a broadcaster for country music, your Guitar licks are great, your vocals are great ... a rating of 4 **** Stars. Brian, as an indie artist you are great, we will have you on prime time rotation for one month. This CD has a great feel to it, and you have worked overtime on this album. Dave Peters, CEO. Radio F.M.Country 97.4 FM 24hr Country and The Worldwide C.D.Distribution Network. July 2003.Toronto singer / guitarist Brian Gladstone is a finger-picking guitar master, a prophetic lyricist, a philosophical story-teller and a dynamic performer. Canada Music Week Magazine, March 2001Brian's particular way of seeing things through irony and old time approach reminds me of great artists as John Prine, Dave Van Ronk, and Mississippi John Hurt. He is their own true son and he continues their great sounds. Remo Ricaldone, Susa Onda Radio Network, ItalyThe man is such an anomaly on the side of modern music; a self-propelled master of folk, a throwback to days when music was simpler, yet somehow more touching. The Toronto-based singer-songwriter is an early Bob Dylan, a guitar wizard on par with Jesse Cook, and a lyricist who can evoke a plethora of emotions with a single song. Dave Brosha, from his article 'Where Does One Begin to Describe Brian Gladstone', October 2001, CanEHdian.ComGladstone is an imaginative and intuitive songwriter and a natural storyteller, unrestrained by conventional limitations. A fair-to-middling' guitar picker, Gladstone has a friendly voice and an infectious musical personality. Your humble scribe doesn't know a whole lot about folk music, but know what I like and I like Psychedelic Pholk Songs more every time I listen to it. Psychedelic Pholk Songs is a breath of fresh air, an honest album by a real musician. (Reverend Keith A. Gordon from his column 'The Review on Pop Culture, Aug 2002.)
