Peter Katz And The Curious — More Nights

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) June 23, 2007 2:33 pm
Sensitive folkie Peter Katz turns things up a notch on More Nights, and the result is a decent slice of adult-friendly indie. Featuring 10 tracks that recall the finer moments of Blue Rodeo, Cat Stevens and latter-day Van Morrison, Katz proves an apt lyricist capable of throwing the odd curveball when necessary, including the line about wearing...
