Peter Wolf – A Cure for Loneliness (2016/2018) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

“Imagine driving the backroads on a dark night when you get lucky and find the greatest regional radio station you’ve ever heard. That’s roughly the feeling of Peter Wolf’s latest, a heartfelt mix of country, bluegrass, deep soul balladry and just a little rock ’n’ roll. The rootsy direction won’t be surprising if you’ve followed Wolf’s solo career, nor will the taste and authority in his vocals. But he strips it even further down this time to strong effect. Geils Band fans can head straight for Wastin’ Time, an anthemic midtempo rocker, or the bluegrass rework of Love Stinks.” – Boston Herald

J. Geils Band lead singer Peter Wolf conjures up the same vibrant passion for music that’s motivated him for most of his life on his first solo release in six years. The album ranks with his most adventurous and accomplished work, showcasing his irrepressible charisma while encompassing his natural affinity for country, blues, R&B and rock ‘n’ roll. A Cure For Loneliness contains nine Wolf originals, four of them co-written with Grammy and Academy Award-winning songwriter Will Jennings. The material ranges from loose-limbed gospel boogie to rousing rock to acoustic reverie and includes a bold bluegrass reworking of Wolf’s own catalogue song, the classic J. Geils anthem Love Stinks. Also featuring a trio of obscure covers reflecting Wolf’s wide-ranging musical interests, A Cure For Loneliness was recorded with longtime collaborator keyboardist Kenny White, who co-produced with Wolf, as well as the members of his touring band the Midnight Travelers.

“I see this album as a continuation of a body of work that I’ve been creating for a long, long time. Each album is a challenge and every one of them has been a learning experience. I think that they’ve become more personal and revealing as I’ve continued. I still feel the way I felt when I started out decades ago: I’m just trying to prevail and continue to grow as an artist … and to keep rolling on with music as a cure for loneliness.” – Peter Wolf
