Howard Gladstone wrote the tunes he sings on his second album of folk/roots country songs. A one-time music reviewer, Gladstone’s songs are interesting because of his passion for musical icons, people and places that he celebrates and laments in tunes like the 8-minute “Down to The Delta,” and “Too Many Voices Gone Silent”. The CD is co-produced with Tony Quarrington who provides back-up guitar work along with various band members. The songs have the virtue of simplicity and an obvious sincerity, but as a whole a kind of monotony comes through the album.
