Editorial Reviews

Better late than never, so they say... says 48 year old Northern Illinois native Pete Berwick. Berwicks been on the verge for his entire career and now with the release of 'Aint No Train Outta Nashville', he's poised for a hard earned breakthrough. Pete Berwicks songs are whiskey-soaked, ragged and weathered, with a mix of hardcore heartbreak and rock-edged attitude that dares to go unnoticed. The songs are poignant with the perspective depth that comes only from living the words first. The vocals are raw, edgy with a distinctiveness thats been missing from radio airwaves for many years. The project is an Americana snapshot of dusty roads, outlaws, small towns and late night honky-tonks. The title track was featured in Paramount Picture's A Thing Called Love. First recorded in 1993 and shelved after his record deal turned sour, Berwicks faith in the album never faded nor faltered. Said Berwick. ""After thirteen years the songs still sounded good. I realized it was senseless to bury the album with the ill fated record deal, so releasing it on my own label seemed the obvious thing to do."" Berwick recently received an Americana Artist of the Year award from Taproot Radio FM.

I'm not a fan of this guy because he looks exactly like a brother I used to run with....honest. Seriously, Pete's a throwback to music that comes from the heart. Nothing fancy, just honest to goodness blood & guts rock & roll mixed in with a "roots" element. Earlier, I compared him to a collision between Steve Earle & Iggy Pop, and I can't think of a better way of describing this guy's music. He's getting his attention in the music scene in his 40's, a little older, like Phil Lee, so he's not in it to hit the mainstream. Thank God for that. Great stuff.
