NEW YORK TIMES | New York, NY

"Winsome pop poet"

 

THE FLAGPOLE | Athens, GA

"Salett, singing and playing acoustic guitar, and (Don) Piper on lap steel and supporting vocals, have beautiful, wide-open stormy landscapes oozing from every pore. It's perhaps not that strange that Salett's claim to fame (thus far, anyway) is courtesy of a soundtrack - So much of his music has an evocative breeziness; the music cries to have its mental imagery brought to fruition with equally beautiful visual stimuli."

 

BIRMINGHAM WEEKLY | Birmingham, AL

"A singer- songwriter well on his own way to being famous. Imagine if Morissey had grown up in Maryland and was therefore slightly more cheerful or took notion occasionally to play a country style lament."

 

TIME OUT NEW YORK | New York, NY

"A captivating live presence who sings from an intelligent level, Salett writes with edges and blunt honesty aplenty."

 

ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION | Atlanta, GA

"The unassuming and beautifully crafted songs and sweet,endearing vocals displayed on Salett's 'After A While' reveal a regular guy with regular feelings about love and such. He expresses them with a great deal more charisma and sensitivity than your average Joe."

 

LAWRENCE.COM | Lawrence, KS

"Peter Salett is the kind of understated acoustic pop troubadour that just needs one good break to become the next Ron Sexsmith or David Gray."

 

NASHVILLE CITY PAPER | Nashville, TN

"Part of Salett's appeal comes in his versatility as a writer and musician. A capable pianist and guitarist, Salett's work encompasses influences from British invasion rock artists like The Who, great folk-rockers such as Bob Dylan, and even a country great like Johnny Cash."

 

CREATIVE LOAFING | Atlanta, GA

"Salett's silky yet edgy melodies and sweet vocals help his subtle songs resonate with a pensive Nick Drake quality."

 

NEWBEATS

"Peter Salett's songs on his recent album has a lush gentle feel without heavy orchestration... Salett's singing style is very folksy and plain spoken but no less expressive. Most of the songs here on 'After a While' are charming and slightly affecting (the waltz-like title track,the starkly yearning My Whisper and the twangy Still Alone Without You). Salett is a poetic and simplistic writer as he is as a musician, which is a good thing. If you like the music of the late Elliott Smith, you'll find Salett's sound as a relative cousin."
