Out There: Steel on the Outside

[Gary Peters]

Hi All

This is the absolute best I'm capable of at the moment. For those of you in this kind of zone, have a listen...I'd really appreciate your comments.

Hi Gary,

Creative, for sure. The songs seem to hold together well and have a real sense of movement. I liked "Sniper Alley" because of the interesting percussion tracks. Although I could not get the PSG track to jibe with the percussion, in my own mind, it still seemed to work.

Outer Limits worked. I liked "High Peaks" because the two tracks of PSG played off each other well and fit and complemented each other in an appealing manner.

In general, for the genre, I thought your songs had good structure and in most cases, were certainly repeatable or "coverable" by other players. To me, at least, this is an important criteria for a piece to qualify as music. I thought "Old Speckled" was the best example of this.

I like the song lengths. For me at least, if I am going to try and pay attention to something that requires an above average level of concentration, it has to match my attention span. Your average song length seemed to match the mental stamina I am willing to dedicate.

My only critique is that your music is a little hard to dance to. HA!

Good album cover!

Thanks Dan...for taking the time and the very valuable comments. Obviously, I don't agree about the album's danceability, but then I have developed a very unique way of dancing over the years: through necessity.

Hey Gary,

I've downloaded several of your recordings for road trip music. This is the best one yet! As my mother used to say, "Stay outside and play."

Thanks Bill...appreciate your support. My Mum used to say something similar, but after a week or so the authorities usually had to intervene.
