Truth is, I feel guilty liking Peter Bradley Bradley so much. His music is almost too pretty. I thought 'Leavetaking' was too much, and I loved that album. 'Traces' may not be as cinematic as 'Leavetaking', but it's just as breathtakingly beautiful. Backed by a great band including Jason Goforth, Lex Price, Matt Eskey, Bryn Davies and others, not to mention Julie Lee, Angel Snow, Katie Herzig and Caitlin Evanson providing gorgeous background vocals, this is a somewhat quiet, almost hushed, collection of stellar songs. Peter's writing just keeps getting better each time.
btw... if you get a chance to see Peter LIVE, do yourself a favor and check him out.

Peter Bradley Adams has created a wonderful, lyrical book of short stories set to music. He has painted a portrait in Traces that can be enjoyed by music lovers of all ages. Toe-tapping at times, melancholy and beautiful at others. If you enjoy this, please listen to his other works which are each different and enjoyable in their own way.

He is a talented artist and very enjoyable in concert as he bonds with his audience and brings you into the intimacy of his music.

Simple and complex - simply wonderful

If you have bought any of Peter's CD's before you won't be dissasapointed with this one. It may take a little longer to get familiar with it, but once you do it really is good. I can't be specific track by track, the feel is great, love the little bits a player would like.

His other album is better. There area few good songs, but he has a tendency to write lyrics that are a bit on-the-nose and that tendency doesn't serve him well here. That being said, it's a pleasant album none-the-less.

We heard one of PBAs songs thru a TV show we enjoy --SO we purchased the CD and we are enjoying it!

I like all of the songs "just OK" except Darkening Sky which is why I purchased. They are smooth and easy to listen to but, in general, most of the songs sound the same and don't really have anything that captivates.
