HAPPY NOWHERE

(Columbia)

New York native Peter Stuart sings in the emotive coffeehouse manner of "Let me tell you about what I've been through." Primarily a solo artist, Stuart decided to gather some fellow New York musicians to record an album that stays true to his acoustic ramblings. The result ranges from the upbeat, twangy "Speed of Silence" and "What I Know Now" to the mellow, melodic "Haywire" and "Would You Be Willing." The standout is "Everything Falls Apart," with its kicky riff and sing-along chorus. The slower songs drag, especially the opening "I Wish I Was Here," but the album as a whole makes ideal backyard barbecue music.
