Album Notes

CREATURES OF HABIT, Peter's first solo effort features "John Brown", an ode to the militant abolitionist who sparked the Civil War, and “Desert Flower,” which Peter describes as a “native american lullaby.” These and ten other original songs represent the best of Peter’s work to date. "John Brown" is also covered by Portland-based Jack McMahon on his new CD (find his fine work also on CDBaby!). Singer/Songwriter, Peter Sando emerged in the late 60's from the band Gandalf, formerly the Rahgoos, and appeared at various New York clubs such as "The Phone Booth", Scott Muni's "Rolling Stone", "The Electric Circus", Murray the K's "World", and the legendary "Night Owl Cafe" in Greenwich Village. It was there that he met songwriters Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon ("Happy Together", "She'd Rather Be With Me") who brought the band to the attention of record producers Koppelman & Rubin. K&R signed the band and immediately started work on the GANDALF album which was released on the Capitol

author: Jack McMahon
Creatures of habit represents the resurrection of a major artist. It shows the growth of Peter Sando as a songwriter, singer and producer. Known previously for his psychedelic musings as Gandalf, Creatures Of Habit represents the coming of age of an incredibly focused artist. From the folky "John Brown" to the rockin' "No News Is Good News", Creatures of Habit displays versatility not for its own sake but for the love of each of these great tracks!

Warning: This CD could be habit forming !
author: Laura T. Lynch of Kweevak.com
Creatures of Habit, blends 60’s roots with modern folk-rock in this 14-track collection. Peter’s songs are stories that unfold in well-crafted lyrics. He speaks of counting your blessings, positive relationships and romance. Talented musicians back Peter’s clean and concise vocals. Sando plays solid guitar leads on this mostly acoustic CD. ‘John Brown’ has precise percussion, soft guitars, a fiddle and reflective vocals telling the story of the fight for freedom. ‘Dessert Flower’ is another social commentary (possibly about Native Americans) with a melancholy tone and fine acoustic guitar work. ‘Helpless’ combines the sax, piano, the organ and female vocals with a good groove through out.
