Portland Press Herald Review:
"Promised Land" is a bluesy, rootsy record that should appeal to everyone from rockers to modern country fans.
The blues-rock stompers such as the opening tracks "I've Got a Secret" and "Nine Miles High" have that classic barroom boogie sound guaranteed to get the party started right. And the country-tinged uptempo numbers such as the title track are sure to please anybody who appreciates the more raucous fare served up on modern country radio these days.
"Outside in the Rain" was a pleasant surprise. It's an almost Jimmy Buffet-esque track that lyrically deals with gloomy weather, but Peter serves it up as pure musical sunshine, with bright and jangly acoustic guitars strummed over a catchy tabla beat.
"Heartache in the Morning" is a catchy but contemplative back porch-type of song, the jaunty "Johnny D" will get your toes tapping, and the laid-back shuffle of "Can Love Be Real" might just have you smiling broadly and wiping a tear at the same time.
