CD Reviews
Why, Why, Why....
William G. Jones | One of the Red States, USA | 05/22/2006

"Why isn't this album availible in the United States? You can't even buy Pete Murray's music on iTunes. Is it because this guy can actually sing, unlike so many in America's pop culture? Talent oozes from every lyric, every note, and it's a shame that so many in North America will never hear this CD because it simply isn't availible over here unless you go through an import service.
Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall. On second thought, I think I'll just listen to this excellent CD again and try to feel smug about it."
Destined to become a classic album

"Simple yet elegant. Distinctive but easy to listen to. The sort of CD you'd have out ready to play if having guest/s over.
Pete's distintive vocals mixed with his acoustic and bluesy at times feel makes this album an example of individual songwriting skill and composition. From the riff driven "Feeler" to the melancholy "Beautiful", this album deserves the recognition it is getting in Australia. I just hope Pete's subsequent albums dont become watered down by complexity, commercialism and popular demand."
A must have cd!!

"Wow, this guy can sing!! I have been lucky to see him play live twice within the last 5-6 months and man he rocks.
This cd would have to be one of the best I have as his lyrics and the subtle guitar licks through out the cd makes this a must have. It is a shame that he doesn't get the credit he deserves although his second cd is getting more airplay.
So go out and buy it you will not regret it."
Wow, so beautiful

"I am proud to say unashamably that Pete Murray hails from my city. This is Pete's 2004 debut album release called 'Feeler' and all I can say this is one beautiful album. It is rare for an album to have 3 hit songs and all in a row from the 1st song 'Feeler' that is self titled, to the second song 'Bail Me Out' followed by the huge hit on Australian radio even this year 'So Beautiful'. This song is romantic and shows that Pete Murray oozes with tonnes of talent and can sing.
Pete Murray began singing in local Sydney pubs and clubs before picking up the Columbia label and now he has success and rightly so. Pete is a talented singer who is down to earth and every song means that much to him. The lyrics are his own and come from life experiences he has been through. Pete Murray quickly has ascended the Australian and New Zealand charts and has also become a figure in the folk rock/pop scene. He followed this album with a 2005 release which I shall review in the coming months.
This album is produced well and each song lacks nothing. This is one of those albums that you can tell the artist has made sure each of his favourite songs were included. Columbia gave Pete Murray freedom and this paid off. The songs 'Bail Me Out', 'So Beautiful' and 'Lines' are my favourite. But all the songs on this album are perfect. Whether you are listening to it alone, or a loved one or as background in a party - this album delivers in every aspect.
Pete Murray is the proof that the Australian music scene is alive and kicking. He is a pure legend. This album is played regularly by myself and I have become a fan of his talent and modesty."
