Peter Bruntenell - 8 Lane Highway

Acoustic driven, folk based pop with a subtle hint of psychedelic delivered in a very British manner...hasn’t that be done before? Probably, but give him his due, Peter Bruntenell is actually pretty good at it.

Eight Mile Highway fits the bill’ and sets its self out as a typically English song with its tale of lost and found love placed over catchy instrumental back up. Fitting almost perfectly into the soft radio friendly guitar genre which gets eaten up regularly by Radio 2 and commercial radio- which is confusing because according to the Rolling Stone Magazine, Peter Bruntenell is England’s best kept secret- so why not release him into the wider world for everyone to enjoy?
