5.0 out of 5 stars
Such a great album!,

This review is from: In the Ocean of the Stars (Audio CD)
I first discovered Peter Salett on the soundtrack to the 2005 release of Down in the Valley with Edward Norton. The drifter, Harlan, could easily be songwriter Peter Salett traveling the West composing tunes of love & longing along the way. "Sunshine" and "Fly Sparrow Fly" from the soundtrack blew me away when I first heard them. At the time, they were unavailable on an album. With a release date almost three years later, In the Ocean of the Stars has been a long time coming.
The wait was worthwhile to get it right. Although I'd have been satisfied with ten more steel-string acoustic ballads, Salett mixed in a full repertoire of other instruments. Various strings and keys appear on the track list. At times, the sound is similar to 90's-era Cracker with occasional hints of Johnny Cash. For me, Salett paints a mystical, yearning perspective of the world. These tunes are all quite affected in an emotional sense. They'll make you think of someone special.

This review is from: In the Ocean of the Stars (Audio CD)
Pater Salett has the depth an artist needs, and in his case it comes with the irony I feel when listening to his music. His work is predictable, yet unpredictable; soothing sometimes, but hilarious when his humor shines through. His voice is powerful, but he often savors the lyrics as if each word is a precious jewel.
Peter's way of zooming in on small moments invites the listener into his well-lived life. Yes, I love the sound of his music... but the real talent is in his writing. Check out "Colorful Dream" on his album, After a While.
