#PETE DROGE GREATEST HITS DRIVERS#
"The Getaway Drivers radiate edgy, melodious, alt-rock energy from the infamously progressive heartland outpost of Madison, Wisconsin. Combining eclectic, solid and accessible songwriting with a diverse array of instrumentation and three-part harmonies, this The Getaway Drivers release will please those who like their rock with a little alt-country flavor. The EP release of Black Dog Days marks the second installation of songs following the release of The Getaway Drivers' The Truth is Where it's Always Been, an EP released in January of 2010. Looking forward to Petes next solo effort as I didnt really care much for the sound of "The Thorns". Skywatching album for sale What makes this music great is a variety of ingredients, from the harmony, to the beats, to the lirics and the pure great sound that it is. Skywatching songs This CD is excellent, if your fortunate enought to have heard Petes Previous CDs, you will truly appreciate what an awesome musician the man is. Seems to save better material for the Thorns. I have to agree with the gentleman from Detroit. Great lyrics, great tunes, wonderful voice, and just plain musical and enjoyable.
The trek is slated to close in mid-July.Skywatching CD music I heard Pete Droge for the first time several weeks ago on a local FM station, and had to call in immediately to find out who the great voice was? Skywatching buy CD music This encouraged me to pick out this recording randomly from what he has recorded, and Im not disappointed. The Thorns will take flight as opening act for the Jayhawks beginning June 23. There was also kind of an unspoken thing where, whoever’s day it was, kind of got the final word.”ĭroge says, “I think knowing that we really wanted to create something that was outside of all of us made it so that nobody would get too hung up on their own trip.” One day would be Shawn’s day, or Pete’s day, or my day. Sweet says that working in that fashion kept things new. To keep things fresh, each morning, the three avoided bringing in song ideas that were nearly complete. (Droge and Mullins penned one Thorns song, “No Blue Sky,” prior to Sweet’s arrival.) The group crystallized with “I Can’t Remember,” the first song written together by the three artists. “The harmonies kind of gave us that, and we helped to sort of ensure that by trying to really write all the songs together.” “More interesting to me was something completely unlike what I would do on my own or what they would do on their own,” he says. Sweet says he quickly emphasized the three-part harmony approach. His high vocals meshed seamlessly with Mullins’ low, whiskey-tinged voice and Droge’s Tom Petty-esque singing. After a couple of days, the initially skeptical artist wedged his way firmly into the mix. He had joked with Carter about starting a modern version of famed ’60s guy/girl vocal quartet the Mamas & the Papas. Like the others, Sweet was interested in trying something new in his career. He was encouraged to listen to a few songs and consider writing with them. The Thorns sprouted about 13 months ago, when Sweet, at the suggestion of manager Russell Carter (who is also Mullins’ manager), joined Droge and Mullins in a Los Angeles studio. VH1 and CMT, meanwhile, are airing the song’s videoclip. 15 on the Triple-A chart published by Billboard’s sister publication Airplay Monitor.
The band’s unusual sound has found favor with video and triple-A programmers.
#PETE DROGE GREATEST HITS UPDATE#
I guess it’s because all the boy bands were doing harmonies and stuff, so maybe this wasn’t cool to do for the last few years anyway.”īe certain, the Thorns’ update on mid-’70s Southern California acoustic pop owes more to CSN and the Beach Boys than to the wave of boy-band pop that has dominated the charts in recent years.
“I mean, there’s probably about 10 groups sittin’ around going, ‘We f***in’ did this!’ But it doesn’t immediately come to mind. Yet the brand of harmony- and acoustic-guitar-based rock they play has, surprisingly, been virtually absent from the pop landscape for more than a decade. Sure, in the grand scheme of things, what the three singer/songwriters created isn’t as notable as, say, the early, generation-defining work of Crosby, Stills, & Nash (CSN), a group that the Thorns immediately recall. In joining together to form the Thorns - a group focused entirely on three-part harmonies - Matthew Sweet, Pete Droge, and Shawn Mullins do not seem to have created anything terribly groundbreaking.īut as one listens to the trio sing in unison on the 13 songs that make up its self-titled debut, issued May 20 via Aware/Columbia, it starts to seem otherwise.
