See How [CD]

Pete’s first solo album since 2007’s ‘You, Me and Bill Withers’, it explores the life Pete has lived since then - a divorced, homeless, fifty-year-old father of two with a guitar and a head full of great songs. Pete’s earlier work received much critical ac-claim, but ‘SEE HOW’ contains a truthfulness and grit that only a decade of difficult times can produce. Although the album explores themes of emotional upheaval and life-changing events, his lyrics always manage a wry smile at life’s vicissitudes. All this is set to seductive melodies melded with lilting arrangements. It’s sophisticated songwriting taking in folk, country and pop. Aside from his solo output Pete has played guitar with the High Llamas for many years and worked with Lee Hazle-wood, Petula Clark & Shirley Collins among others.
