Blue Point Records released the first recording of talented,
young musicians Glenn and Alex Peterson, The
Peterson Brothers (BPTCD
1502). The eleven tracks display the brothers’ diverse
influences, some first forays into their own compositions and
some solid adaptations of traditional and contemporary works. The
brothers recorded with Grammy Award and Blues Music Award
winning producer Michael Freeman to achieve a sound which is both
original and respectful of the blues. (www.bluepointrecords)

Here
what's being said about the CD and their live performances.
“Teen Blues Brothers Make a Big
Sound…Emerging blues teen titans The Peterson Brothers have
released their first, self-titled album on Blue Point
Records.” – No
Treble
“Creative new arrangements and impressive,
energetic performances … Glenn Jr. is a very talented
guitarist. His solos are diverse and creative, and he never
overplays… Vocally, he has a smooth, confident delivery and
though he’s very good now, he will also get better with time.
Alex is a rock solid rhythm man on bass … Based on this
superlative release, the future of the blues couldn’t be in
better hands.” – Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes
“The debut album from the Bastrop teen duo
delivers on the promise they’ve shown on the local club
circuit...Guitarist Glenn Peterson Jr. and his younger brother
Alex Peterson on bass prove their blues mettle… But the bulk of
the record introduced their own instantly appealing material,
from the playful groove of “Hey Baby” to soulful shuffle and
swing versions of “I Gotta Go” to the fiery instrumental “Feelin’
Like Home.” – Peter Blackstock, Austin360.com
"Peterson Brothers embody the spirit
of funky blues. Up by the front of the stage the vibe was cool
and sweet as Glenn and Alex Peterson easily segued from wicked,
funky break beats to slow blues jams rich with nuance and silky
tones." – Deborah Sengupta-Stith, Austin360.com
“original arrangements and a fresh,
bristling energy that seems to be a harbinger of what excitement
the Peterson Brothers bring to their live shows and future
recordings.” – Jim Hynes, Elmore
“rocking the blues with funky soul” – Mike
Greenblatt, classicalite.com
