PETER HOLSAPPLE
THE FACE OF 68
Peter Holsapple has recorded an extraordinary new solo album he’s calling The Face of 68.
It reflects on age, humor and hurt, with his usual high-quality wordplay and legendary gifts for melody and harmony. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Peter’s record is an enduring testament to his striking abilities as musician and songwriter (The dB’s, Continental Drifters, Holsapple & Stamey).
“I’d like to think” says Peter, “that, were my parents still alive, they’d say I’d finally realized my potential.”
Don Dixon (R.E.M., Smithereens) produced it in Peter’s hometown of Durham NC, and the rhythm section was Rob Ladd (Connells, Don Henley) on drums and Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five) on electric bass. Grammy®-nominated engineer Jason Richmond was at the console for the four-day session, with Dixon mixing at his home studio in Canton, Ohio. And there are guest turns from Marti Jones and Mark Simonsen.
Mostly it’s about Peter Holsapple: eleven stunning songs with strong vocals and a newly-rediscovered love of lead guitar; overall, it’s a fine way to see Peter’s way to his future in rock and roll, love and recognizing inevitable loss over time. He’s ready for it all. With songs like “Larger Than Life,” “High High Horse” and the title track “The Face of 68” the new album is a start-to-finish home run.
The Face of 68 is Peter Holsapple, facing forward with electric guitar in hand, and gazing enthusiastically at what’s to come.
