Brad Peterson
The Red Album
© 2005 Brad Peterson (616892667827)
Antithesis to Picasso's "Blue Period", this collection of work is suffused with warm tones and creates intense-heady imagery -one might compare its production to albums of the late-sixties renaissance (such as Revolver or Pet Sounds)

notes
Brad Peterson invites you to hear his most heartfelt and melodically compelling body of work to date:
The Red Album.
Steeped in warm tones, evocative lyrical imagery and haunting melodies, The Red Album succeeds in channeling some of the great recordings of the 60's, with a wistful and bittersweet touch. Lyrically, The Red Album draws on memories over the course of Brad's life - giving voice to the songwriter's creative vision.
Having spent much of the last several years -devoting his time to producing and recording fellow artists, BP has just recently thrown himself back into his own orbit. With the Red Album, Peterson emerges with an honest enthusiasm and vocal power. Listen to The Red Album and you will hear a songwriter who truly is wearing his heart on his sleeve.
As a founding member of critically acclaimed, college radio darlings "Peatmoss" in the mid-90s, Brad has toured and played with Jeff Buckley, Cake, The Wallflowers, Alanis Morrisette and The Dave Matthews Band - to name a few. In performance settings ranging from solo acoustic to full band, Brad has cultivated a loyal grass roots following, from LA's Viper Room to New York's CBGBs (and many points in between).
The thrilling band playing live with Brad these days includes Grammy-award winner (and member of Keith Richards' band) John Pirruccello on pedal-steel guitar, drummer Larry Beers (formerly, Sonia Dada), the excellent Mike Troglia on guitar and brother Ted Peterson on bass and backing vocals.

Chicago Tribune: "The band to hear"
All Music Guide: "Peterson's voice takes on a certain raspy delicacy"

author: Mike DegIt is not every day that a true musician and artist comes along and gives the world a gift. This is one of those days. This CD is incredible. Brad comes across with great integrity and this CD is truly a great musical experience. Looking forward to more from this great person!

In a world of despair, where everything is corrupted and freedom is a commercial slogan, a rare free pureness lies in the creative process of this songs-craftsman. And to me, that leaning to be free (intentional or unintentional)is the only thing that counts. This is necessary music. Music knocking on your door waiting for you to listen. Because it is real and it is free.
warm and lush
author: Ronald ReevesA friend gave me this disk as a birthday present. This friend is one of those people who knows the best and undiscovered artists -and has never steered me wrong. Not only has this record become number one in the rotation of records I play in my commute to work, It's become an all-time favorite –it's up there with the Beatles and the Stones. Thank you, Brad.
