Peter Friestedt - The L.A. Project. For 3 years Peter has been working on this project and now it's here. You wont be disappointed if you buy this record. It's one of the best Westcoast/AOR record i have heard for a long time. With guys such as Bill Champlin, Joseph Williams, Michael Ruff and Bill Cantos on lead vocals, this production is one of a kind. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 10/10. / Bengt
Good record from Peter Friestedt.But one striking thing about this album is the similarity between the opening track Livin´In Your Eyes and the song Heart To Heart from Kenny Loggins album High Adventure.Go to the L section and check it out for yourself.It´s almost hard to get away with... but nevertheless it´s an good album.
This is one of the best, I am not the only one who is looking forward to Peter´s next project!
When this record was released it was the best I'd heard for wuite som time. Still oneof my favourites
This is a masterpiece ! I do especially enjoy the keyboard and bass solo on track 7. Not to forget Peter Friestedts guitarwork on track 8. Great musicians, great singers, excellent sound. It cannot get much better than this. Both tecnically and musically a strong westcoast album. 5 stars out of 5 possible.
