Relentless Pedal Steel: New Album by Gary Peters

[Gary James Peters]

As suggested by the title, this album is the product of my own relentless production line of pedal steel guitar experiments. Many of them also have a musical relentlessness about them which was deliberate at first and then an unconscious given as things progressed. While it is true that I create an enormous amount of music which translates into an enormous amount of albums, I am of an age where sitting on all of this material is not an option...I might be dead tomorrow. So here's another one which, again, pushes my own playing to its absolute limits in ways that do not fit comfortably into the dominant categories of virtuosity that determine what is judged to be worthy, but I don't care about that. All I know is that simply producing a pure unadulterated note on the pedal steel guitar has taken me a lifetime to achieve, so stringing a few together in a way that pleases me, well, it pleases me. You too I hope!
