pete first made a trip to nashville during a break from touring and while there had hooked up with producer adam landry and justin collins and a number of local musicians. his reputation as a songwriter and vocalist of some note had already made it stateside thanks to the british music press, but to see and hear him perform in the flesh was a revelation to the locals and it was not long before he was holed up at playground sound with new admirers the jordanaires to record a collection of covers that was to see the light of day on the 'today, tomorrow &amp; forever' ep. for a man brought up on many of the classic records that these legendary performers had sung on, the experience of working with the vocal group was mindblowing. spurred on by the success of these recordings, molinari decided to stay on in the states - playing the bars and coffee shops of nashville, new orleans, san francisco and new york, just as he had as a young kid when first crossing the atlantic (pete had previously based himself in greenwich village for 18 months, playing shows and honing his trade and stagecraft in front of some very tough and unforgiving audience who were all just waiting for this young pretender from the uk to trip up - by all accounts he never did). having spent almost two years touring the uk and mainland europe as both headlining act and as support to the likes of richard hawley and dan auerbach of the black keys, this extended road trip not only gave him a much needed break from a rigorous schedule but also allowed him the chance to rediscover the country he had first fallen in love with back home in chatham, kent via the works of kerouac and guthrie and the impressive record collections of his older brothers and sisters; factors that would prove to be hugely influential to a boy with a classic case of the small town blues. many of the songs on here were already written (at least in part) before he headed back to the states, but by immersing himself in and being subtly seduced by cities such as nashville, new york and a defiant new orleans - towns that for molinari remain not only the birthplace of but also the catalyst for some of the greatest pieces of music ever written - they became fully formed and, thanks to incredible performances from all involved, took on a life of their own.
