Singer/songwriter
Peter Stuart first came to attention as part of
Dog's Eye View, though he left that band after its second album, 1997's
Daisy. After he went solo, he opened for acts such as
Counting Crows,
Live, and
Paula Cole, and wrote material for
Bon Jovi and
the Go-Go's. His 2002 solo debut,
Propeller, was produced by
Andrew Williams, who also worked with
Peter Case and
Old 97's. Actually completed in early 2001, he sold several thousand copies of it while touring before striking a deal with Vanguard, which issued it in mid-2002. ~ Richie Unterberger
