REPERCUSSION: Peter joined the Continental Drifters in the early 1990s after The dB's were kaput, and he stayed with the group until it disbanded circa 2003. While they were active, the Drifters recorded several of Peter's songs, so if you enjoy his singing and songwriting, those discs are definitely worth seeking out. Their music is excellent! (Here’s another Drifters show I posted a while back.)

  1. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Love it! Continental Drifters are one of the few bands who might even sound better live than when recorded. Truly, an underrated, unappreciated musical crew! Thanks, Rob!

  2. Track #2 is, like #15, a 'highway' song, but the first one is 'Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway', btw
