lavaman sang one of hers at HB9. “When all you’ve got is a hammer.” That was my introduction to her work. This one is another beauty. She certainly has a way with words.

Cams made a fine recording me of singing Hammer. "Dancing with the Beast" is a superb album. My favourites include "Witchita", "Lowlands", "Dancing with the Beast", "Truckstop Angel" and this one ....

That was fantastic. I shall have to invest in some GP albums. Thanks for the introduction.

I read an interview with her husband a few years ago. He said she spends hours and hours on lyrics and aims to make each line as perfect as possible.
Anyone who writes lyrics knows have difficult it is to do this across the whole of a song. With Peters no line is wasted!

The Esential GP is a great place to start.

Five Minutes is an almost perfect lyric.

I’ve been listening to a few of her songs on YouTube, as well as lavaman who after all introduced me to her music. I’ve heard enough so I’ve just ordered Blackbirds and Dancing with the Beast. Looking forward to listening to them.

andyhowell, I’ve no doubt I’ll get round to that. There’s only so much emotion wringing that I can stand at one time.
