Fire Note Says: Peter Bradley Adams fourth record Between Us is another pleasant offering of folk-pop that quickly becomes addicting.

Album Review:
Singer/songwriter Peter Bradley Adams voice is immediately infectious as his soft delivery hits you with impact on the opening track "I May Not Let Go", which was co-written by Garrison Starr. Adams fourth long player Between Us is a very smooth and quiet type of folk-pop record that works best when you have some free time to just sit down and absorb its 42 minutes. The album highlights just how far Adams songwriting has advanced since his 2006 debut Gather Up, as just about each and every track here can hit an emotional heart string. This record also generates positive energy as it reunites Adams with his old Eastmountainsouth bandmate Kat Maslich Bode and her pleasant complementary vocals on "Mother Don't Look Down". They made a great band before and hearing their voices together again works well on Between Us. Peter Bradley Adams has already had extreme success with his songs showing up in movies and on television and the 11 tracks on Between Us should have the same destination. The slight folk undertones, Adams gentle approach and the strong songwriting found here should once again help propel Peter to the masses and after checking out Between Us, I am sure he might even be your new favorite!

Key Tracks: "I May Not Let Go", "Full Moon Song", "Be Still My Heart"
