Montana Tale is the sixth studio album by the folk-singer John Craigie. It was released in December 2009 on Zabriskie Point Records. It is his first album since i always -ed you without Trent Boeschen and Kevin Hobson, and not recorded at Boeschen Studios. Montana Tale was recorded over the summer of 2009 at Gadgetbox Studios in Santa Cruz, California. The guitarist Leland Jackness returned, along with Randy Schwartz on drums and Zach Gill on piano, organ and accordion.

Contents

The album is considered a song cycle due to its numerous references to the state of Montana and certain cities within the state. Craigie claimed that many of the songs were written on his early tours through the western United States, when he spent a lot of time traveling through Montana.

The album includes many of Craigie's best-known songs, including "28" which is about the 27 Club and the deaths of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain.

It was his first album to receive significant airplay and was placed in rotation on radio stations such as KHUM and KPIG.
