TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BRIAN GLADSTONE'S NEW CD 'PSYCHEDELIC PHOLK PSONGS'
1) The CD was recorded entirely in my basement on a home studio.
2) Most of the picking tunes were written after eating junk food and peanut butter sandwiches on Wonder bread.
3) It took me a long time to come to agreement on the cover art with Michael Wrycraft.
4) The CD got airplay instantly from the first station I submitted it to. It has been posted on the Top 200 charts in
Europe.
5) To-Nite Magazine (Toronto Entertainment Weekly) listed the CD in the Top 10 Canadian releases of 2001.
6) Many reviewers don't know how to handle it.
7) Everyone sees something different inthe CD, thus I have learned to view reviewers as a lamp post sees a dog.
8) It took me months to get the picking up-to-speed on 'Finger Licking Picking'.
9) It took 10 months of recording, hard work, and lots of mixing to get the sound so simple.
10) The best part of the CD is all the social portals.
