Peter Bruntnell
I'm just listening to England's Peter Bruntnell for the first time. I've always been a sucker for a good singer-songwriter, and that's how Bruntnell's music was described to me. By whom? Honestly, I can't remember. (Sad, isn't it?)So, I've started my exploration with 2005's "Ghost in a Spitfire". Has it blown my socks off? Well, not really. But there's something about his songs and delivery that makes me want give a listen to the CD a few more times before I just file him away on the shelf.
The title track "Ghost in a Spitfire" is a story that really gets to me. Perhaps so more now, since I'm living in the UK.
I've just read that he has a new CD, called "Peter And The Murder Of Crows", coming out in September.
Any Bruntnell fans out there, reading this? Thoughts on this artist?

First off I'd like to say I like Peter's new record quite a bit. A return to form of sorts. As for his back catalogue, you may have strated in the wrong place.
You need to go back further to experience the greatness that is Peter Bruntnell.
Start with Normal for Bridgwater then move on to the follow-up,The Ends of The Earth. Ghost in a Spitfire was somewhat of a disappointment for me. It just didn't stick. If interested, you can go here for a Comp I put together.
