Pete Santogrossi, “Valley Town Observer” (self, 2010)
Reviewed by Abu Ramses – ALL TRACKS but 2 FCC CLEAN
Singer/songwriter Pete Santogrossi presents East Bay themed tunes. Mixed acoustic and electric guitar, piano, drums - 40% alt-country/Americana, 25% rock 'n roll, 25% folk-rock, 10% reggae sea chanteys. Songs of tough times and lost love with local color. None of the tracks have a really distinctive sound. If you like/dislike one, you’ll like/dislike them all.
Tracks
1. Gottajob 2:33 – uptempo, like talking blues
2. Keith 2:28 – “THC is what he pees” & “frickin”
3. Piece of Morning Light 3:14 – acoustic guitar
4. Sunol Grade 3:32 – acoustic guitar intro, then ensemble
5. Melissa is Leaving 5:14 – finger picking acoustic guitar/ensemble
6. Waiting for the Winter 3:39 – piano & acoustic guitar
7. Valley Town 4:12 – acoustic guitar intro, then ensemble
8. Crazy Anne 3:47 – uptempo, with slide guitar
9. Stare Me Down 3:16 – more clearly rock beat/electric than others
10. My Boat is Rocking 4:13 – dog bark (?) in intro + electric
