"Peter Nevland is hard to describe. Exuberant. Colorful. Explosive. Peter writes and performs it in a way that you'll never forget; an extremely intelligent and sensitive stream-of-consciousness outgush, rush, push through the slush sort of "Jack Kerouac" thing, except that Peter has already found what Jack spent his whole life searching for. Personally, I think of Peter Nevland as the antidote to gansta rap. But don't be looking for any Mickey Mouse ears. Peter Nevland has seen the underbelly of society, he just chooses not to celebrate it.Most people think "Mud Slide Slim" was James Taylor's first LP, but true collectors know that James was originally discovered by 4 guys with funny haircuts who recorded and published his inaugural album, "James Taylor," simply because they liked his music. It was the first album ever produced by John, Paul, George and Ringo on Apple Records.Some day in the not-too-distant future, this CD is going to be like that; a true collectible; Peter's original homemade compilation produced by his brilliant brother, David, in the borrowed recording studio of a friend.Listen to the CD and you'll agree - "This kid is gonna be famous." Buy it. You'll listen to it a million times. I promise."

This guy is awesome

"Hey I just wanted to say that these are not explicit lyrics like Amazon says--this guy is a strong Christian. Anyway, read the first dude's review...he summed it up pretty well in his first paragraph."
