Album Notes

We recorded "Gates of Louisiana" at Joel Prepejchal's Rockbottom Studios, deep in a rocky valley in the Southern Illinois woods. The studio is lined with roughsawn cedar and river rock, and actually has a stream flowing beneath its floor.

Some good friends joined me for this one. Drums by George Boyle. Dobro and bass by Jake Van Horn. Electric guitar by Dusty Cawley. Harmonies by Chrystal Schreck, and Joel Prepejchal.

This music springs from the earth. It is as though the words and notes are young buds and the melody is a small stream, emitted from some rock, that endures to become a galiant causeway.

I too think this album is remarkable. I have become a big fan of Peters music in the last couple of years. Illini Wind is a remarkable solo / acoustic album as well. Both of them have remarkable writing. If Peter wishes to make music his career, there is no doubt that if can make a connection or two that you will be hearing more from him and he'll be playing bigger stages. This is quality stuff.
