More From Gretchen Peters

Burnt Toast & Offerings

You have to watch the quiet ones. Sometimes the loudest truths are served with a whisper. Gretchen Peters, who has written some of country’s most intelligent songs of life’s complications, offers a hushed benediction for a woman emerging from the chilled-over remains of what is truly not enough to flower into full potential.
- Holly Gleason / No Depression

Gretchen Peters

If Peters’ ’96 debut, The Secret of Life, had the answers, her edgier follow-up poses the questions, mostly about how to navigate rough emotional terrain. Full of surprises – “Eddie’s First Wife” has a randy lesbian at its center – Peters brings the pop sensibility of Sheryl Crow to meditations on Amelia Earhart and Picasso’s cat. Easy to see why she’s already captured the Brits. B+

Trio

Artists including Faith Hill, Bonnie Raitt, Martina McBride, Etta James, the Neville Brothers, Bryan Adams, Patty Loveless, Billy Ray Cyrus and Neil Diamond have recorded her smart, introspective songs, but for me, it’s always good to hear the writer perform their works, especially when they possess the interpretative powers that Gretchen has.
-Alan Cackett / Maverick (UK)
