Alice PeacockCountry of origin:U.S. Type of music generally:Contemporary Folk/Pop Status:Most recent release, Live From SPACE (live, 2014); most recent solo studio release, Love Remains (2009) See also:Alice Peacock's site Comparisons:Kind of in between Shawn Colvin and Sheryl Crow Covers/own material:Own, co-written, occasional cover General comments:See album comments below. Comments about live performance:I arrived at the main stage on Sunday at the announced start time for Alice Peacock's set as the opening act for Elvis Costello, but she, too, had already started. She is a rocker, and a good one. Her lyrics seem more complex, or at least less high concept, than Sheryl Crow's. She plays both guitar and keyboards, and performed a fair number of covers along with her original material. My brief introduction to Peacock can be summed up by paraphrasing the old Remington shaver commercials: I was so impressed, I bought her CD on the way home.

(valrichardson@igc.org) Who I AmRelease info:2006—Universal Records—B0006864-02 DG02 Availability:Wide Ecto priority:Highly recommended Group members:Alice Peacock—vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, Wurlitzer Guest artists:Andrew Williams—electric and acoustic guitars, 12 string electric and acoustic guitar, piano, horn and string arrangements, background vocal Produced by:Andrew Williams Comments:I loved "Alabama Boy," the opening track on her self-titled album a few years back, but wasn't that impressed with the album overall.
