Peter Wolf - Sleepless flac album

Sleepless is the sixth solo album by Peter Wolf, released in 2002. The album ranked 427 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Wolf told The Boston Phoenix in 2002 that he had a "pessimistic sensibility" in his approach to making the album with no great expectations about the album’s commercial viability after watching his previous record "die on the vine" due to his then label (along with several others) being "swallowed up in (a) big corporate conglomerate".

With Sleepless, Peter Wolf strips away any pretense to fashion and warmly embraces the R&B, soul, and country blues that inspired his legend in the first place. Not that Wolf has strayed very far from those roots, either when fronting the J. Geils Band or in his rewarding, if often fitful, solo career, but Sleepless presents the singer's ethos at its most naked and warmly Dylanesque.

A decade later, Peter Wolf has released Sleepless, his sixth solo album, which shows just how far he has matured as a music artist. You don't want to miss this one. Comfortably taking pages from Dylan's recent tour de force Love and Theft, the Rolling Stones' canon circa '68-71 and those timeless Stax singles, Wolf delivers a masterful fusion of blues, country and soul. Those references are not coincidental: Wolf borrows Larry Campbell (guitar) and Tony Garnier (double bass) from Dylan's latest band; old friends Jagger and Richards make separate guest appearances; and.

Peter Wolf, ‘Sleepless’. Wolf accomplishes a rare feat on this modern blues album: He sings about adult roance without sounding jaded. The former J. Geils Band singer testifies about true love in his soulful growl, with help from friends like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. 426. Cheap Trick, ‘At Budokan’.

With each step he takes past his years as frontman to the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf builds on his legacy as a solo artist of remarkable distinction. Bits of the jive caricature of his early years surface on Sleepless, especially when reunited with his old running buddies Keith Richards and Magic Dick on "Too Close Together," but most of the album documents much more skillful and sensitive approaches to interpretation. In fact, in his ability to slide from singing to a spoken word or two and back again, Wolf affirms his mastery of the Bob Dylan method for bringing a lyric to life.
