Album Of The Week

"When I look at the album cover of Peter Gallway in black and white with a dark hat and suit, I get thoughts that lead directly to pictures of Leonard Cohen and also to the 80's albums Cohen released. Van Morrison's soundscape, as well as the wide sound, makes me think of John Stewart in songs like 'Gold' or 'The Raven', or maybe Mikael Rickfors' music in songs like 'Tender Turns Tuff'."

"Peter Gallway's music is a great blend of rock'n'roll, jazz, folk and americana. He has been compared to artists such as Tom Petty, Elvis Costello and Leonard Cohen."

- Börje Holmén / Musikbloggen 67 -

"Peter Gallway has an extensive discography to fall back on, but I have only discovered him in recent years, not least I am delighted with the collaboration with his wife Annie Gallup in the duo of Hat Check Girl. Gallway is a master of letting his songs be characterized by aching and muffled moods where lyrics and music slowly move forward. The arrangements are subtle and make demands on the listener, the same with the lyrics, which are allowed to take the necessary time. No easy listening, but why should it be? 'Madly In Love' and 'Methedonia' are craftsmanship of the highest calibre."

"A songwriter and storyteller with the skill of a novelist and a filmmaker, its reflections born of the introspection resulting from lockdown, it's no accident that this is one of Peter Gallway's very best."

- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -

"Peter Gallway's music is cool rootsy American pop rock with an authentic feeling. There’s a bluesy touch here and there, while the music does have a Lou Reed meets Bruce Springsteen kinda approach. A very pleasant listen and in total 11 wonderful songs to check out, and as highlight the fantastic midtempo 'Rearview Mirror' that would make Bruce jealous, for sure."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"“There can be absolutely no doubt about the songwriting qualities of US singer songwriter Peter Gallway. His solo albums and those that he contributed to from his wife Annie Gallup and for their mutual musical project, Hat Check Girl, can confirm this statement. As Peter Gallway & The Real Band he has now released a lockdown album titled ‘It’s Deliberate’ that is succeeding the record ‘Reach For It’ from 2019."
