Live
September - Peter Breinholt |
| In
Peter Breinholt’s career, the only real milestone left was to
put out a landmark live album. Well, consider it done, and with style.
Live September does what live recordings should do; it puts you in
the front row and fills you with the magic of the performer’s
stage presence. All tracks were recorded among the turning leaves of
Provo Canyon, UT, in September 2001. For three sold-out nights at the
intimate Sundance Amphitheatre, Breinholt and Big Parade gave upstart
performances. If the guitarist/singer is intimidated in front of a
crowd, you’ll never know it. He banters with the audience as
if they were a group of his closest friends, and the crowd obviously
favors is kickback style. The sound mix, which usually weakens live
recordings, is phenomenal. For those familiar with Breinholt’s
previous albums, Live September offers a formidable collection of favorites.
Fans will find new versions of
“Poor Boys,” “And She’s True,””You Wear Flowers,” and
others. For newcomers, the album pianist a fitting picture of Breinholt’s
catchy guitar leads and all-star rhythm section. Plenty of special guests help
out along the way: Breinholt’s two-year-old song goes to town on a mini-drum
kit during “Sweetly Sleeps”; Jon Schmidt commands the ivories on “What
About”; and Nancy Hanson harmonizes during a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” Whatever
Breinholt has left to do after such an inventive album, he is bound to keep smiles
on thousands of faces. |
