"Who knew Peter Gallagher could sing like this? I saw him perform songs from the CD on Regis and Kelly and The View, and he is an amazing singer with a soulful, sexy voice. This is the kind of music that makes you want to dim the lights and dance with someone you love. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who loves bluesy, soul stirring music. I'm ordering mine today!"

"With Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan already crossed-over into music and albums by Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie sadly on the way, it was only a matter of time before a cast member from The O.C. made their very own album. What is surprising is that it is not by Marissa or Ryan but by papa Cohen. Granted I don't watch The O.C., so I know Peter Gallagher mostly from the best reality ever, Denis Leary's short lived Contest Searchlight where Gallagher got run over by a car. Hopefully one of these days that will finally make it to DVD. But anyways.



Unlike others who try to juggle a singing career after establishing themselves as an actor, Gallagher actually came up through musical theater appearing in musicals such as Hair and Guys and Dolls. On 7 Days in Memphis, Gallagher traveled down to the city mentioned in the title to Ardent Studios to record the songs, all of which were pulled from soul tracks that were recorded in that very studio. Keeping with the vibe of the studio, Gallagher used many musicians from the area including Steve Cropper of Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Legendary soul singer Betty Wright even shows up to duet on When You Move You Lose.



Gallagher's song selection was impeccable, but still doesn't come close to pulling off anything as good as the original. But it's doubtful he was trying to live up to them in the first place but rather giving them new life for a new generation. His best song choice would be the Donnie Hathaway (no relation to Anne) classic, and one of my personal favorite, A Song for You."

Pleasantly surprised ;-)

"This cd isn't half bad. I've loved Peter Gallagher ever since I first saw him in While You Were Sleeping right through to Center Stage and now of course The O.C. But I never knew he could sing. He's got quite a good voice and the songs he's done suit him well. I particularly love When Something Is Wrong With My Baby and Still Got The Blues. I recommend this cd for anyone who loves smooth jazz sounding type songs and if they prefer them sung by a nice vocalist."
