Об исполнителе
A contemporary singer/songwriter who draws broadly from folk, rock, and jazz with a propensity for contemporary folk, Peter Mulvey has lived an artist’s life since adolescence-he was a college theater major, spent time busking in Dublin, Ireland, and founded the Milwaukee band Big Sky, all before his early twenties. But his professional music career didn’t really begin until 1991, when he was fired from a job at a Kinko’s copy shop in Boston. Flat broke and in need of immediate cash to entertain his visiting brother, Mulvey starting playing his guitar in the subway. He supported himself that way for a couple of years, working ten-hour days in the smog-drenched underground. In the meantime, he released two CDs on his own, 1992’s Brother Rabbit Speaks and 1993’s Rain.
Mulvey’s rising star hit the accelerator in 1994 when he won the Boston Acoustic Underground competition. In 1995, he signed with Eastern Front Records and recorded the Boston Award-nominated Rapture, which won consistent raves for his dazzlingly funky acoustic fretwork. He tossed off the acoustic EP Goodbye Bob before releasing the much more aggressive acoustic modern rock album Deep Blue (also on Eastern Front) in 1997. As a side project, the prolific guitarist also rejoined his old colleagues from Big Sky in 1997 to record a CD entitled Lately under the band name Little Sky. After Black Walnut Records issued the live solo album Glencree in 1999, he signed with Signature Sounds Recordings, where he stayed for over a decade beginning with The Trouble with Poets in the spring of 2000.
In 2002, Mulvey released the covers album Ten Thousand Mornings, which included works by Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Costello, among others. He returned with originals on 2004’s Kitchen Radio, and 2006’s The Knuckleball Suite included one cover song, U2’s “The Fly.” The next year’s Notes from Elsewhere collected select songs from across his career to that point, with Mulvey re-recording them for just voice and acoustic guitar. Written while in transit to visit his nieces and nephews, 2009’s Letters from a Flying Machine combined songs and readings of letters, and he partnered with composer/guitarist David Goodrich for a record of instrumentals called Nine Days Wonder in 2011. The solo album The Good Stuff followed a year later, and 2014’s Silver Ladder featured drums by frequent Bob Dylan drummer David Kemper.
On June 17, 2015, while Mulvey was on tour opening for Ani DiFranco, he wrote “Take Down Your Flag,” a response to the mass shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina (later officially designated a federal hate crime). DiFranco covered the song in her own set in the days that followed, and it was soon reinterpreted by dozens of other singers, including Peter Yarrow and Keb’ Mo’. DiFranco also produced Mulvey’s next album, Are You Listening?, which saw release in 2017 by Righteous Babe Records. (Darryl Cater, AllMusic)

Об альбоме
For sheer musicianship, it is difficult to think of many contemporary guitar playing singer-songwriters who can claim superiority to Peter Mulvey. His third studio album, The Trouble with Poets demonstrates once again the originality and technical proficiency of his guitarwork, incorporating echoes of accomplished fretsmiths like Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco into a style that is distinctly his own (on “Wings of the Ragman,” he even manages an effective impression of the Sundays’ David Gavurin). The Trouble with Poets is also more satisfying as a thematic whole than his previous efforts, realizing to a new extent Mulvey’s considerable promise as a lyricist. The album opens by defining the poet as one who can “see poetry everywhere.” From that point on, Mulvey proves that he fits the definition through an illuminating excavation of metaphysical realities lurking beneath the surface of everyday events. Mulvey sees poetry in a rope slapping against a flagpole, a child sneaking outside late at night, a man waiting for the train in the morning. “It’s all around you now,” he says in one song. “Still you don’t see.” Unfortunately, for all his skill as a guitarist, Mulvey’s musical compositions only fitfully match the brilliance of his lyrics. Melody has never been his strongest suit, and he is somewhat limited as a singer. But despite the inconsistencies, it doesn’t take a poet to see poetry in The Trouble with Poets. (Evan Cater, AllMusic)
