My whole life has been a story. It's too long to tell so here is a tip: listen to the songs." Since his 2006 breakthrough, âEURzLiving On Love", everyone refers to Pete Alderton as the âEURzblues man from Paderborn". With his new album, âEURzSomething Smooth", the Anglo-American singer, guitar player and songwriter proves that it's about time to discover a new Pete Alderton: the storyteller. In contrast to other great musical storytellers such as Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen who chose Folk or Chanson as a vehicle for their lyrics, Pete Alderton stays deeply rooted in the Blues. Seven minute songs full of details and references are not for him, he rather picks out moments, episodes, feelings and moods. This way he builds up a story song by song over the length of an album. His story. As one can guess from the album title there is a smooth and relaxed vibe on Something Smooth". Like in the romantic title track, in âEURzMan On The Run" or in âEURzNever", a jazzy piano ballad. These original compositions are accompanied by touching versions of Bob Marley's âEURzRedemption Song" and âEURzI Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" by Tom Waits. But don't be fooled, âEURzSomething Smooth" is not Pete Alderton's âEURzbedroom album". The man is way too versatile and edgy for that. Right at the beginning of the album he shows with âEURzRevelation Blues" by blues legend Robert Johnson that his heart still belongs to the rough Delta-Blues. âEURzSo Cool" is a perfect Chicago style blues song just like âEURzDown To The River" captures that iconic highway feeling. The reduced arrangements with acoustic guitar, interspersed with piano and electric guitar, bass, as well as some drums, mandolin and blues harp every now and then, add to the picture. As always, Pete Alderton's voice sits in the mix full of character and confidence. From the first line it draws the listener into the stories and into the song. With all of that âEURzSomething Smooth" reminds one of a good book: once you started you want to know what happens next.
