"If it's simple, truthful music from the heart played with passion and a zest for life that you're after, Minnesota's Peter Mayer is an ideal choice. He's a master at crafting engaging story-songs, complemented by his acoustic guitar, smoothly powerful vocals, and guest musicians on violin, drum, and assorted other instrumentals. In person and away from his guitar, he walks his talk as a genuinely kind, warm-hearted soul. I believe this recording is his first. My picks are "Promised Land", "Captain Of My Life", and "Why Pay Your Money". The CD begins with high-energy tunes, and gets progressively more mellow, as if all the fantastic energy went into those first few songs--my only criticism of an otherwise strong CD."

"It's not the Peter Mayer who plays with Jimmy Buffett, but a Peter Mayer by any other name would smell as sweet. My apologies to the Bard. The guitar work is really great. I gave it to my roommate, who is a little more spiritual than I am, but I get to borrow it any time I want. people [should] know there are two different Peter Mayer's. This guy is really good."
