Gretchen Peters - Gretchen Peters

Re-release of Gretchen Peters' 2nd album.This is not jukebox music - the stuff that exists to fill in the pauses in conversation. This IS the conversation. Gretchen Peters is already known for delivering inspired lyrics to others, including the Grammy-nominated songs Independence Day for Martina McBride and You Don't Even Know Who I Am for Patty Loveless.... 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. - Entertainment Weekly
