5.0 out of 5 stars A strong debut album from an incredible talent, September 24, 2006

My first listen to Peter was in 2004 when he was part of the duo known as Eastmountainsouth. A friend and I caught their show at a local venue and I was immediately blown away by his vocal and instrumental talents. I was happy to see that he released a solo album this year. Since purchasing the album, it has been in constant rotation in my cd changer. Each song on the album is solid, but there are stand-outs: "One Foot Down", "Chant", "Little Stranger" and "Gather Up". My favorite on the album, however, is "Upside Down". It's one of those songs that hits you in the heart. Peter has the rare ability to translate moments in his life into words and music that touches your soul. You feel the emotions not as a voyeur, but as though you've experienced those same moments and situations yourself. And in many cases, you probably have. "Gather Up" is a strong debut album from an incredible talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet Timeless Genius, September 25, 2006

I played Eastmountainsouth until I knew it like I knew the Beatles -- OK, I'm an old guy. But in the old days, we'd listen to a few records deeply. Now we tend to listen to a million of them superficially. But Eastmountainsouth was something I just couldn't get enough of. I listened until I knew it note by note. I was sad when I heard they'd broken up and that Peter Bradley Adams was going solo - but I shouldn't have been. Right from the first listen to "Gather Up," there was that same haunted, timeless quality. This music creeps up on you; it washes over you; it's familiar from the first listen. Like the famous potato chip, I betcha can't eat one -- listen once, and you'll play it again, thinking it's good. Then you'll play it a third time, and you'll really like it. Then, at play Four, it'll be one of your favorite albums ever. Play Five -- well, write your own review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picks up where EMS left off..., September 22, 2006

Being an eastmountainsouth fan, I was eager, yet a little hesitant, to pick up the Peter Bradley Adams album. About 4 songs in, I was very glad that I made the purchase. The songwriting and voice that made eastmountainsouth one of my favorites is evident in the Gather Up CD. My favorite tracks include "One Foot Down", "Teresa", and "Gather Up"...but all of the songs are pretty good. The album has a great acoustic, mellow, yet driving vibe with Peter's voice tying it all together.
