Product Description:
The term legend is too often bandied about when talking about musical artists. While he might dispute that categorization, Pete Anderson is one of the rare musicians to which that term aptly applies. After more than 30 years in the music business and countless hit records as a producer, guitarist, and songwriter, Anderson has earned a place among many of the significant figures who have influenced popular music. With his third solo album, DAREDEVIL, Anderson demonstrates his unique talent for melding a variety of musical genres to create a series of beautifully-crafted instrumentals which, as a whole, come together to create an album of unsurpassed cinematic scope. This is music in 3-D!
DAREDEVIL is an appropriate title for the album; it represents risk-taking in the best use of the phrase. Unlike many respected guitarists who record solo efforts, this is not an album about guitar pyrotechnics just for the sake of impressing other musicians.
DAREDEVIL is really about the songs -- using the guitar as the chief instrument to express the musical vision. Rich in texture and range, the album sounds like the score to a Fellini movie from the fourth dimension. Each track takes the listener to new places. "New World Cakewalk" feels like a march down Bourbon Street after a number of high-octane hurricanes. "That Broken Heart Will Heal" is a beautiful love song with the guitar singing a melody for the angels. "Big Canyon/Little Bird" takes the listener on a rocking romp complete with cool jams on trumpet (Lee Thornberg) and fiddle (Donny Reed).
DAREDEVIL is the latest creative effort by a Grammy Award-winning artist/producer/businessman, who has blazed a number of musical trails, garnering both critical acclaim and sales success. As a producer, Anderson is responsible for recordings which have sold over 30 million units worldwide. His groundbreaking work with Dwight Yoakam helped ring in the 'new traditionalist' movement in country music - while crossing over to a wider audience in the rock, pop, and blues worlds. He has also been responsible for highly touted projects by such artists as Roy Orbison, k.d.lang, Flaco Jimenez, Buck Owens, Lucinda Williams, Jim Lauderdale, Rosie Flores, Michelle Shocked, the Meat Puppets, the Backsliders, the Lonesome Strangers and Thelonious Monster, among others. As a guitarist and solo artist, Anderson has been lauded as a world-class musician who has influenced a generation of axe-slingers through his melding of country, blues, honky-tonk, and jazz technique. With the formation of his own independent record label, Little Dog Records, over 10 years ago, Anderson proved to be prescient in recognizing the challenges the record business would eventually face by creating an environment where he could record truly talented artists without the financial pressures experienced by the majors.

I've been waiting for this CD for quite a while and when Pete finally
handed me my own copy, it went straight into my CD player and the listening experience began.
Petes approach to the guitar is simply amazing, and this collection of instrumentals really dives into the other side of Pete Anderson.
A side that's a bit different from those who know of his work with that Honky Tonk guy.
It's a quirky mix of all the music Pete loves and it's a great
demonstration of just ... Read More

I heard about Pete Anderson's album Daredevil for a long while before it was released and it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Once again, Pete has stamped another great album with his legendary and signature full-out, bluesy-rock guitar perfection. I can't say what track is my favourite, they're all great! I play this album often and just love it. Another outstanding album from Pete Anderson and the folks at (...)

When I first got Daredevil, I listened to it and listened to it hard.
It was a long awaited musical adventure where Pete Anderson not only shows his guitar and song-writing talents, but his talents at playing a multitude of instruments including drums.
All of the songs are self-penned and it goes from bluesy and jazzy to chicken pickin' down home romps. I have not yet been able to pick a favorite from this master of guitar, but I can guarantee, it is definitely on my must ... Read More

Pete Anderson may not be a name that pops to the forefront when thinking about innovative guitar players, but he is quietly carving out a niche for himself. The highly creative "Daredevil" offers a sound somewhere between the worlds of Ben Tavera King and the Latin Playboys-not exactly fodder for the masses.
The arrangements shine here: sometimes minimal but layered with unexpected horns or keyboards that seem to slide under the guitar. The pause then refrain in Sweet Delta Sunrise, for ... Read More

This is basically a well done demo of nice arrangements of simple tunes. All that is missing is the tunes.
