Looking for something special to give to a loved one this holiday? Why not pick up Peter Valentine’s new album, First Things First on CDBaby, iTunes, and Amazon? The CD was recorded with musicians from the bands of Aretha Franklin, Hall & Oates, Average White Band, Pat Metheny, Buddy Rich, Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, Ray Charles, Ray Buretto and the Tonight Show. Peter’s love for different styles of music, from African, to Latin-American, Arabic, Celtic, R&B, Pop, Rock, and even Broadway, inspired the creation of this album. Peters brother, Tim Valentine, wrote all of the lyrics after coming back from 2 long tours as a Christian chaplain in Iraq. He was inspired by his experience in war and our need for God’s grace. His lyrics bring a strong inclusive message of love to Christians and non-Christians alike. In the words of Mark Shulman, guitarist for Suzanne Vega: Your album is beautiful. . . What a lovely song suite, so rich in harmony, melody and stylistic variation. The harmony and melody are so beautifully married to his Tim’s words.
