Pernice Brothers: Live a Little

CML call number: CD ROCK Pernice
Personnel: Joe Pernice, Peyton Pinkerton, Bob Pernice, Patrick Berkery, James Wallbourne, Michael Deming.
Eric R. Danton wrote in his Hartford Courant blog Sound Check: "[Joe] Pernice's voice sounds much the same live as it does on his albums, which speaks to his ability, which is considerable and a joy to witness when he's on stage. His show Saturday at the Iron Horse was excellent, and all the music glitterati on the Northampton scene turned out to see the hometown boy made good. Pernice and the band played a bunch of tunes from the new album, 'Live a Little,' including a stripped-down version of 'PCH One' consisting mostly of Joe's voice and acoustic guitar, until the distinctive bass part finally burst in on the last chorus. Awesome. His singing voice also sounds nothing like his speaking voice, which is unprepossessing and dead-pan. He dedicated 'The Ballad of Bjorn Borg' to its namesake star, 'because Bjorn Borg is the most enigmatic figure is the world of sport'" (12/11/06).
