I was camping with my family in Glacier Park a few weeks ago and was very happy to hear Jack Gladstone. He was performing at Many Glacier. He was excellent! We bought two CD's right away and plan to order more. He is a fine entertainer. He gives a different perspective on the history we were taught. His singing is somewhat like Gordon Lightfoot only better.

We too came across Gladstone's CDs (we bought 2) in Glacier Park. His music is wonderful and the stories great. We like the folk style, much like Gordon Lightfoot but enough difference to be unique. When we can find them we will buy the rest of his collection.

I was brousing a gift shop in Apgar Village in Glacier National Park last weekend with some familiar, yet different ballads in the background. I was searching the scattered CD's on the display cabinets for whom I was certain was Gordon Lightfoot singing a ballad I was not familiar with.

The shop owner told me that I was looking right at the album being played, that by Jack Gladstone. Not sure where I have been all these years in Montana, but this Montana-Native American balladier has impact, relevent lyrics, harmony and super backups. It becomes even better when one reads along the words that are supplied in the case. While the "white man" is not entirely guilty in their march to the West, there is much cause for thought in Gladstone's gentle points. And, if you are not politically or historically inclined, the entire production is pleasing to the ear.

A chance buy that I'm very glad I made. Highly recommended.
