For two decades, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville's most beloved and respected artists, known never to shy away from darkness and struggle in her writing. "If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as 'On A Bus To St. Cloud,'"
People Magazine wrote, "she has already earned herself a spot among country's upper echelon of contemporary composers."
Peters was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell, who called her "both a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes, and said her song The Matador, "moved me so greatly, I cried from the soles of my feet.
Peters has risen to the top of her craft by writing and recording songs that explore the deep corners of life with empathy and integrity. She has accumulated accolades as a
songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, PattyLoveless, George Strait, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill.
Her 2015 album, Blackbirds, debuted at #1 on the UK Country chart and in the top 40 UK pop chart, and was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year
(for Blackbirds, which Rolling Stone called one of the most affecting murder ballads since Bruce Springsteens "Nebraska" left a trail of corpses strewn across the American landscape) at the UK Americana awards in February 2016. In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the best 60 female singer-songwriters of all time.
Her new collection, The Essential Gretchen Peters, a double album, is a handpicked retrospective of Peters' best work chosen from a 20 year recording career. Included are brand new recordings of two of Peters' best loved songs: "On A Bus To St. Cloud", and "When You Love Someone", here performed as a duet with cowriter Bryan Adams. With liner notes written by esteemed rock critic and Bruce Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh, The Essential Gretchen Peters is just that - an essential piece of work from a fearless and creative singer-songwriter |
