Pete Droge Links: His Very Well Done Official Site | and everyone has to have their MySpace (except me! I will not succumb!) Pete Droge: Sunspot Stopwatch (mp3) – from Necktie Second. So take a listen to this great tune from Droge’s debut, and show the fella some love by checking out his links below. I just picked up his fourth album, Skywatching, on eMusic, and am listening to it right now, and digging it immensely. You can hear the album streaming on his web site or his Myspace page.

The album is produced by Pearl Jam buddy and producer extraordinaire Brendan O’Brien, who also produced Springsteen’s ‘The Rising’ (always a Boss connection!), and Soundgarden and Neil Young and Stone Temple Pilots and on and on.ĭroge just released his fifth album, Under the Waves, last Tuesday. But it’s the more relaxed, acoustically oriented tracks that are my favorites: “Faith in You”, “Fourth of July”, “Hardest Thing to Do”. It’s pretty much the most electric and uptempo song of the album.

With clever lyrics, and obviously influenced by Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, the tune sucked me in to Mr. The single that really caught my attention back then was “Sunspot Stopwatch”. Thanks in part to a friendship with Mike McReady of Pearl Jam, Pete Droge secured a contract with American Records in the early 90’s, and released a fantastic album called ‘Necktie Second’ in 1994.
