Peter Case discusses his new live album and his extensive music career.
Peter Case’s 5-decade career in music has had many twists and turns, starting with the influential band the Nerves in the late Seventies, then the Plimsouls, who had an early eighties MTV hit with “A Million Miles Away.” Peter’s first, self-titled solo album from 1986 helped jump start the roots movement of the mid-80’s. 13 solo albums and now My Life to Live, from Sunset Blvd Records - Case's first, full-length live album, recorded at a familiar venue, McCabe’s Guitar Shop. We chat about the unique venue, plus how he rearranged a couple of his classic Plimsouls' songs for this album.
