​Peter Karp (from the album Magnificent Heart available on PepperCake Records)
 
On Magnificent Heart, the soundtrack grooves, Peter Karp sliding between genres, filling the air with the rhythms funky (“She Breaks Her Own Heart”), thick swamp boogie (“The Grave”), second line acoustics (“Going Home”), slinky (“Let It on Out”), street corner busking (“Chainsaw”), and sad slow dances (“The Last Heartbeat”). Song style branding is just out of reach on Magnificent Heart while the vocal and guitar work stands firm with the Blues that is a constant for Peter Karp.
 
As the Blues colors the shifting soundscape of Magnificent Heart, Peter Karp changes his personal style to switch skins for the characters walking through the stories. The advice and observations doled out in “This World” are delivered with the passion of a preacher using an assured beat for a pulpit while words of encouragement hush, wrapped in reverential piano and organ ramblings for “Face the Wind”. Confidence opens the doors for Magnificent Heart, first cut “Sitting on Top of the World” defiant in the face of the unknown as “The Letter” pounds an exit beat for a lost lover. Peter Karp cruises on a blue groove ala Tony Joe White in “Cool Cool Thing” as Magnificent Heart feels “Compassion” on a late-night Blue noir dream.
