Review by Tom Fahey of AmericanaOK




Tom has a great show broadcasting out of Scotland called AmericanaOK.

He was kind enough to review my new CD, Long Way and here it is:

"Here on AmericanaOK we are always being asked, “what is Americana”. I used to try and give a definition which invariably left the questioner bemused. Now I say take a listen to “Long Way” by Pete Minda. It’s a collection of very fine songs that embrace many of the influences that form the genre known as Americana. But, don’t listen as an academic exercise; listen for the pure joy of hearing a collection of songs that will stay with you for a very long time. Pete Minda has come a “Long Way” from his hometown of Kansas City via Austin to Brooklyn so welcome his arrival by listening to this fine collection of songs."

On the radio in Scotland

A great radio show/podcast in Scotland called AmericanaOK on LeithFM is spinning some of my music. For fans of Americana music this show is a great resource to discover new acts. Check out the intro to my tune here and the show's website here. The DJ pronounced my name wrong but hey I'll take it. Check out their charts for most played music. I'm number 4.
