about

“Candles on the River” takes its inspiration and rhythm from a sunrise Gladstone observed in India and love of Indian music .

The albums’ 11 tracks feature unadorned production and solid ensemble performances.

Gladstone’s concern for social issues is deeply etched in his songs,
from native rights issues (“Aboriginal Burial Ground”),
to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (“Damaged Angel”)
to the closing of Maritime fisheries (“Fishin’ by the Book”)
to globalization and corporate indifference (“Goin’ Offshore”).

“ Down to the Delta” surveys the history of the blues and the modernization & commercialization of the beloved South.

Other songs explore more personal stories.
“Prisoner of New Orleans” and “Tattoo on My Heart” are stories of lost love and recovery.
“Photograph” is a long narrative concerning youth, lost love, war, colonial mythology, memory and history.


Gladstone provides vocals and acoustic guitar. Tony Quarrington, co-produced the album, and contributes guitar and mandolin. Denis Keldie plays Hammond B3 organ, piano, and accordion. The rhythm section of Russ Boswell on acoustic stand-up bass and Al Cross on drums adds a tasteful no-nonsense bottom end.
Guests include Anne Lindsay on violin, the late Eddie Baltimore on slide-guitar, Clela Errington and Alan Soberman on backup vocals, and Bruce Longman.
Many of the tracks were recorded in a single take, with minimal overdubs.
