Peter Wolf - give him another listen


In our house we tend to have "theme"days to put some structure to our listening hours - which always is combined with happy hour(s). Friday is homemade cd mix day, Saturday is vintage cassette mix day, Sunday is movie soundtracks. Lately we have been doing a single artist on Wednesday. Pulled out some Peter Wolf cd's this Wednesday, and had a great listening experience. Played "Sleepless", "Midnight Souvenirs" and " A Cure for Loneliness" - his latest cd's over the past many years. Then pulled out J Geils greatest hits to cap off the session. This is truly great R&B, with some country blues and rock mixed in throughout. There are also some nice duets with Neko Case, Mick and Keith, and Shelby Lynne. SQ is very good imho. If you haven't played him in a while go for it. Biggest surprise was that there is a very clear style running from his J Geils days thru his more recent releases - with a few exceptions his J Geils stuff mixes well with his newer stuff. Enjoy!

No need to twist my arm on Peter Wolf/J. Girls Band, I play about 25 albums a week and their is always and I mean always some Peter Wolf in that rotation. If you have ever been lucky enough to catch a J Geils live show, you know they are one of the best if not the best live band ever. Enjoy the music
Reminds me of a swell show with Foghat, Climax (Chgo) Blues, ELP and J. Geils. All good.
I liked his work for/with Jack Hues and Nick Feldman best.
He produced The Warmer Side Of Cool, the epitome of a rock album with 4 different drummers, in the teeth of drum machines.
Thanx for the tip.

Who the hell is the J Girls band? I meant the J Geils Band. Enjoy the music
