Ricky Peterson the Peterson

Under the Radar Ricky Peterson the Peterson

The Peterson Brothers -- keyboard player Ricky, bass player Billy, drummer / guitar player Paul and their nephew. saxophonist Jason, are true brothers in arms, Minneapolis institutions, members and survivors of that city's musical revolution. What I love about these cats is that they lay the music out like an uptown groove buffet. You don't need to be smart to feel the beat of the heart; you don't need to play dumb to feel the beat of the drum. This is music everybody can get with. Natural talent by the yard and years of playing with the some of the best of the best-- from Prince to Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Harris to Mose Allison, Dave Sanborn to Boz Scaggs, Fleetwood Mac to Bob Dylan, and that barely scratches the surface--make this tribute to a legendary musical family a back-slapping, finger-popping good time.
