Cargo Records

Downbeat

It brims with the confidence needed to handle a deftly textured selection of styles and sounds.

Accompanied by an eclectic crew of musical comrades Pete explores his extensive experience and musical imagination and treats us to a collection which blends and bends sounds from the 60s and 70s ,touching upon traditional English songs, riffs, blue notes, Psychedelia and acoustic work, all augmented by shimmering cymbals ,layers of vocal harmony and effortlessly observational lyrics. The result is a thoughtful travelogue, a multi textured and emotionally engaging experience which rewards Pete's growing audience of careful listeners. Anyone who is willing to try something different from the often predictable menu of today's musical fare will be richly rewarded by the specialities offered here, everything from oriental jazz banjo to the seductive glamour of underwater ballroom music.
