[Read the full article] Ventura County ReporterREVIEW BY SOLOMON BASS, [DATE??][CD rated "A-"] Boles is a local country-flavored folkie-judging from a twang like that, he must be from South Ventura. Imagine a local version of John Prine. Boles has the songwriting thing figured out, as proven by his sound advice from the first cut. He's ably assisted by a number of the best local players including Jim Monahan and Danny Wilson. This Hoyt Axton-inspired former oil patch worker sings about dusty roads, lonesome highways, bad women and all those recurring themes for country singers and folkies alike. Ventura Star Free PressREVIEW BY CHRIS JAY, OCTOBER 2000Local singer songwriter J Peter Boles has just released a simple and beautiful self-titled acoustic disc. Featuring original folk tunes with some tasty playing by the likes of Dan and Mary Wilson to Chris Hillman, it's one of the best local releases of the year ... Perhaps Ventura is gearing up for an acoustic renaissance. It's about time.

[Read the full article] LISTENER REVIEWSAwesome music that can only touch the heart and the soul! My heart runneth over with love for such inspirational music of life itself. Thank you Peter! -- Carol There is depth to this man and his music. I've listened to this album many times. I'm surprised that each time I listen, I really feel like I've lived through some of Peter's experiences. His voice does really have a depth to it that speaks of experience. It is melodious, but at the same time he brings a feeling of something I guess I would call joyful melancholy to his songs. Not all of them are in this way, but there are stories here that I think are worth listening to. This is a man who is a musical storyteller, one who does it in the best way. His band does an excellent job of supporting the songs and giving each one a very unique and intimate feeling. It seems that with a musician like Peter, one hears a man who wants so deeply to share his feelings with you. He does this very well. -- Chris Aynesworth I think this album is really neat! As far as I'm concerned, the songs get my toes tappin' - even despite myself!! So, if you're in the mood for some music to make you smile, J. Peter Boles is definitely the man to listen to. Go buy the CD now!! -- Maria Ramos A nearly religious experience. The music touched my soul like a three foot cattle prod, but without the pain. What can I say besides, BUY THIS CD! You won't regret it. -- Richard Givot It has been so long, since I have listen to a CD that I loved this much! J. Peter Boles has offered a recording with such a vital tone. Just listen to Tides and Bard Lane. This CD could change the mind of the most jaded listener. -- John Lindsey Original heartfelt music. Soulful songwriter expressions. Beautiful acoustic renditions. -- Cindy VanLeeuwen >> POST YOUR OWN REVIEW ON PETER'S CD << PRESS KITAn online press kit is coming soon.
