Album Notes

As a member of the Seacoast Guitar Society Jim was a featured artist in their first fingerstyle compilation CD. In a review of his instrumental fingerstyle guitar CD “River Watch”, “Good Times” music magazine’s Ron Hart writes…”Gallant ranks among some of the finest tunesmiths in the Northeast”. Ron Silverstein of “20th Century Guitar Magazine”, writes “A gifted acoustic guitarist, Jim Gallant’s fretboard is both rhythmic and tuneful”. In the fall of 2003 “New England Trekker” did an in-depth article of Jim and his music and called him a “world class player”. Most recently his song "The Don", a song about the 1941 maritime tragedy which claimed the lives of 28 people from Mexico and Rumford, is being used in an upcoming PBS documentary about the incident. He recently finished up his latest CD "Old Hat with a New Coat", a collection of down home Americana songs which will keep you dancing and smiling at the same time.
