I mentioned this in passing in an earlier post (Interview Heaven or Hell) but I feel it warrants further close inspection and its own beloved place in the post queue.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve written a tutorial for all 11 songs on Chrome. In the form of a podcast, it details the specifics of why I wrote each song, my thought process(es) behind them, and sheds some light on my enigmatic, ofttimes abstract way of writing. I hope it will help you decipher some meanings and shed a ray of light from my cloudy brain to yours. Go here: Rabbit Room Chrome podcast

Hey folks.

Chrome is now available for purchase on iTunes. Download to your delight, and please – if you see fit – leave nice comments/reviews so as to interest more folks. Continue to spread the word. Many thanks for the support.

‘Tis the season for interviews. There have been several of late, which I’m quite grateful for, but I understand if you can handle my interview skillz only for so long. If you’re keeping track – or having trouble keeping up – here’s the complete list of Chrome interviews so far, including those soon to be published:

Saving The Set List
Under The Radar
The Blue Indian
Laughing So As Not To Cry: A Rabbit Room Interview Part I (Host S.D. Smith)
Laughing So As Not To Cry: A Rabbit Room Interview Part II (Host S.D. Smith)
Relevant Magazine: “Storytelling with Eric Peters” (Host Chris Rule)
The Rabbit Room Chrome podcast (detailing all 11 songs)
Blake Tommey Interview (Coming soon)

I hope I’m not forgetting any. Please let me know if I’m missing any, or if you’d like to do your own interview. I work cheap.

I am eager to put together an extended Chrome Tour late this fall, in winter and spring 2009-10. And once again, I need your help. If you find yourself even mildly interested in hosting or bringing a show to your town, to your church, into your backyard, I would love to hear from you. Since 2009 continues to be whatever it is, booking a show in your area is as easy as it will probably ever be. I would much rather be out playing shows than sitting at my dinner table-desk composing interesting posts like this one. So please drop us an email and ask for the Chrome (For My Hearth) Tour: booking@ericpeters.net.

Thank you for supporting the album. I do hope you are enjoying it if you’ve already purchased a copy, and might be willing to continue spreading the word via your personal blogs, websites, Facebook stati. If you’ve already happened to write an album review, we would love to know about that.

P.S. Have you discovered the liner notes yet?

Beginning Friday 9/11/09, Under The Radar (The Best Music You’ve Never Heard) will begin airing an interview I did awhile back with these kind-hearted folks. Host, Dave Trout, is one of the good eggs within the music biz industry, and I’m thankful for people like him who allow me the chance to be heard. Another reason I enjoy Dave is because he’s willing to join me in partaking of greasy sandwiches at my favorite Nashville sandwich eatery (sandwichery?).

The UTR interview features three songs from Chrome: “Reality Came Crashing Down”, “Run Down”, and “Chrome”, as well as “Long Road To Nowhere” from my 2006 album, Scarce.
