Hello Cruel World
Gretchen Peters
Released:
Jan 2012
Label:
SCARLET LETTER RECORDS
When Martina McBride took Gretchen Peters' "Independence Day" to the top of the charts in the mid-'90s, the chilling song turned the country music world upside down. Years later, Peters still conceives potent narratives that are perhaps gentler in their approach, but cut just as deep. The title track sets the no-holds-barred tone, as she grouses, "I haven't done as well as I thought I would/ I'm not dead, but I'm damaged goods"; and in "Woman on the Wheel," Peters likens her relationships to a circus. Hello Cruel World is a hefty mountain to climb, but once scaled, the view is unparalleled.
