The new album has Peter revisiting folk standards with long time friends and fellow musicians Dick Kniss and Paul Prestopino.
"Working with Peter one has to really be on their toes". cites Marshall. "He's got an incredible ear and musical intuition." "He knows when to listen to input and when he has to go it alone. He's a very heroic figure." " I feel honored to work with such a
huge talent". "Peter is a perfectionist and really knows his way around a mixing board, he hears everything...he's truly an amazing person."
Dick Kniss and Paul Prestopino are perhaps best known as the fourth and fifth members of the legendary folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. Dick has been the group's bassist since their 1962 beginnings and still plays for their reunion concerts. When Peter, Paul and Mary stopped touring regularly in the '70s he became bassist for John Denver, with whom he co-authored classics like "Sunshine On My Shoulder." Over the years Dick has performed with such jazz greats as Woody Herman, Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd, Pepper Adams and Zoot Sims.
Paul Prestopino is a multi-instrumentalist, skilled on guitar, banjo, mandolin, Dobro and harmonica. Beginning in 1961 he was accompanist for the Chad Mitchell Trio and has performed on stage and on recordings with such diverse performers as Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Bela Fleck, Laura Nyro, Livingston Taylor, John Denver and Aerosmith. As a recording engineer Paul has contributed to the "Concert for Bangladesh" and "No Nukes" albums.
