Gretchen Peters - Halcyon

Re-release of Gretchen peters' 3rd studio albumLike Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams and the great Emmylou Harris, Gretchen Peters is a precocious talent. The tag for her work is alternative country but with a voice as haunting and controlled as this, she could sing anything put in front of her. Halcyon is jam-packed with gorgeous musical moments, particularly the beautiful Aviator's Song and If Heaven. For years Gretchen was the backroom girl for a number of more famous names, but with Halcyon she reveals the ability to go it alone any time she chooses. Belfast Telegraph5 of 5 STARS - In a word, superb. Gretchen is one of USA's best singer-songwriters, and this ranks as her finest moment. Refreshingly frank, even caustic.
