They took care of Peter in his final days.

Providence Road features a collection of songs Peter had left unrecorded since his last album Up Against It. Some were written early in his songwriting and others in more recent years.

These are collaborations between Peter and I that started as early as 2004 when Peter began to record acoustic guitar, 12 string and vocals for many of his songs. Some of these tracks have a nice lo fi home studio feel akin to their delivery where others feature studio musicianship specially recorded in 2019. There are enough songs to warrant another album after Providence Road.

In the years following Up Against It, Peter was always eager to make another album and being a perfectionist, he kept trying things with different people but was never able to gather the resources needed to take the music into a studio in the way he had with Up Against It.

In 2016 I began to add instrumentation on many of the songs continuing this process up to 2020. In the years up to 2019 Peter was able to hear their progress and make suggestions. He was particularly excited about the songs recorded in a Celtic style, such as Sold My Soul which feature Uillean pipes (will appear on album #2) as well as the treatments of Traitor on the Line and Smokey Mountain Night, all of which were in the style Peter had often imagined.

In September 2019 a month before Peter passed, I was able to take a number of songs into the studio in Newcastle, UK and dub onto Peter's guitar and vocals with full band. Peter was able to hear What Do I Do, Why Are You So Cold and No Explanation.


These songs will become available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, iTunes... and some day on vinyl.


Thanks
