"Peter Case has always been one of my absolute favorite songwriters but his new, intimate and honest CD should make him one of everyone's favorite songwriters. Its mix of folk, blues, love, humor, tragedy, morality and compassion make Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John a very welcome survival guide for these crazy times we live in." - Dave Alvin (The Blasters, X, The Knitters)
One of best new releases of 2007 - Andy Whitman, Paste

"AS FAR AS YOU CAN GET WITHOUT A PASSPORT"
My book is out now. It's a memoir of my first month in California, when I was a teenager, playing music and living on the street, and having various adventures with fugitives, rounders, guardian angels, and other mad characters of the early 70's. This period was the last gasp of the sixties, and the time of the conception of the new punk culture. Some people have compared it to Dylan's Chronicles, but really, it's the anti-chronicles: Dylan went East and made it to the top, I came West and went straight to the bottom. John Doe has written an introduction to the book, which is the first part of a work in progress, and is published by everthemore books in Atlanta.
I hope you'll check it out, and if you've enjoyed the blogs at myspace/petercase or at petercase.com, I think you'll be interested in this, and hope you'll support it.

Coming up, don't miss it!--The Doctress will host some new talent LIVE in the studio next Thursday where she will showcase singer/songwriter/guitarist Demetri Politis, whose quirky pop songs have been compared to Jonathan Richman, Lou Reed, and Weezer. His songs are sometimes autobiographical, but usually revolve around vignettes of twisted people. They have caused an open mic host to deem him a "troubled young man" and a homeless person to yell at him while he was busking on the Santa Monica Promenade. Come listen and give some support to a fine musician!
