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."
