Editorial Reviews

"Montana Tunesmith” is Tim and Mike Nordstrom, whose songs come like a fresh autumn breeze across the Bitteroots. Utilizing tight, brotherly harmonies and lovely melodies, their songs about family, home and geography cause us to reflect again on the true meaning of "folk music"- music written for its own sake, from the heart.

Still, there is no lack of expertise and care taken with the songs. From the lighthearted "Small Montana Bar" to the tragedy retold in "Smith Mine", Tim and Mike summon up crystal clear images of Montana as it is and was. Their lyrical treatment of the romantic west is accurate and sometimes heartbreaking, but always listenable and entertaining.

These two Red Lodge, Montana residents are something special in the world of acoustic music. Capturing the west and its people on a canvas of song, Montana Tunesmith quietly achieves the same effect as a Karl Bodmer portrait of the same land-satisfaction, enjoyment, and serenity.

My wife and I were on a cross-country camping trip and stopped into the Yellowstone Lodge in 2002 for a break. The 'Tunesmith' were playing in one of the bars, so we sat down and watched. They are a great duo, and can sing some great harmonies.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you live this life you will get it..........., May 28, 2006

These brothers write some of the greatest "local reference" folk style music in the mountains. If you groove on anything from Jimmy Buffett to Gordon Lightfoot to Jalan Crossland to James Taylor and like that lyric structure then try this and "Life is for the Living"
