Our Take

Pete Cummins' latest offering, "Crooked Highway," is a delightful romp through the backroads of Americana, with a generous sprinkling of Irish charm thrown in for good measure. From the twangy guitars to the heartfelt lyrics, this album is the perfect soundtrack for a road trip through the countryside (preferably in a vintage convertible, with the wind in your hair and a flask of whiskey on the passenger seat).

Cummins' gravelly voice has a way of pulling you in and making you feel like you're sitting around a campfire with an old friend, swapping stories and sharing a bottle of moonshine. The songwriting is top-notch, with each track weaving a tale that is equal parts poignant and toe-tappingly catchy.

Standout tracks include the rollicking "Rusty Old Jalopy" and the hauntingly beautiful "Down by the Water's Edge." But really, there isn't a weak link in the bunch. Cummins' decades of experience in the music industry shine through on every track, making "Crooked Highway" a must-listen for fans of folk, country, and everything in between.

So grab your cowboy boots and your favourite whiskey glass, and hit the road with Pete Cummins as your guide. Trust us, you won't regret it.
