White Light 98 – Bird Peterson

“The last year, I’ve been working on (and finishing) my label debut album, “Dry Humping Eternity”. I really wanted to create a mix that embodied where my head had been during the creation of this album, and the more I thought of it, the more I realized I had no clue what the hell I was thinking about. I stopped listening to anything that could have influenced me in hopes to clear the ol’ noggin during the process and that led me to dig deeper and deeper into my record collection. I dusted off a few favorites and bought a few new copies as well. And at the end of the day, it ended up influencing me more than i thought, and that’s A-OK. Here’s some spiritual, some fusion, a few ballads, and all the lush you can handle. Thanks for listening!”
