Pacer - Involuntary Movement Review by Gary Hill I really had to give a lot of thought to what section of MSJ this review belonged. In honesty, this almost made into the progressive rock section.

More
Page and Plant - Walking into Clarksdale Review by Gary Hill This second album from Led Zeppelin partners Jimmy Page and Robert Plant holds onto elements of their first reunion album (No Quarter), but in many ways really feels like the return of Led Zeppelin.

More
Tess Parks - Blood Hot Review by Gary Hill When this works, it really works.
More
Brian Parrish - Traveller Review by Gary Hill Brian Parrish is possibly best known for his work as part of the band Badger. This new solo album shows that he’s got what it takes to deliver great music on his own, though.
More
The Cole Patenaude Band - Are You Happy Now? Review by Gary Hill This act might not be the most original band you've ever heard. The sound they create isn't breaking any molds.
More
Patrick & Daniels - Good Vibes Review by Gary Hill Here we have an outfit focused on acoustic music. The fact that's it's vocals dominated, makes it feel a bit like a throw-back to bygone eras.
More

More

More
Steve Peltz - Sweet Lips Review by Gary Hill
There are definitely people who like odd music. I'm talking about stuff that is often off-key or oddly timed.
More
Kimia Penton - Where the Rain Falls Review by Gary Hill I'm not so sure that the cover image of this set does it justice. The violin as the focus of the cover gives two impression.
More
Perfect Defect - Perfect Defect Review by Gary Hill The argument could be made to call this heavy metal. Honestly, I think it's a bit more on the mainstream hard rock end of the spectrum, but I wouldn't argue with that classification.
More
Kat Perkins - Fearless Review by Gary Hill This EP is quite strong. I’d have to say that it probably would appeal to fans of Heart quite a bit.
More
Peter Perrett - Humanworld Review by Gary Hill There is an interesting blend of sounds on this disc. Depending on the song you might hear things that make you think of 80s music, punk rock, power-pop, psychedelia or more.

More

More
Mark Peters and The Dark Band - Sum of All Parts Review by Gary Hill This four-track EP lands pretty firmly in an alternative pop rock approach. It's built around a singer/songwriter vibe.
More
Vanessa Peters - Foxhole Prayers Review by Gary Hill This is quite an effective set. The music is probably best described in one phrase as "folk rock," but that is only so accurate.
More
Vanessa Peters - Modern Age Review by Gary Hill I previously reviewed another set from Vanessa Peters, and I liked that one. I'd say this is the stronger of the two, though.
More
Lucky Peterson - I’m Back Again Review by Gary Hill Let’s get this out of the way right up front.
More
Tom Petty - Hypnotic Eye Review by Gary Hill I’ve always been a big fan of Tom Petty.
More
Cami Petyn - Static (digital single) Review by Gary Hill This new single showcases a talented pop musician. The vocals are largely clean, which is a nice touch given the modern trend of "fixing" vocals in the studio..

This set is an intriguing one. There is a lot of alternative rock along with punk and much more.
More
Phantom Phunk - Struggle With Me Review by Gary Hill I reviewed a previous set from this act and talked about the variety presented on the disc. This time around that's still present, but they seem to somehow merge the sounds better.

More
Lourdes Pita - Lamento Cubano Review by Gary Hill This album features songs in Spanish with a definite Latin angle to the music. It's sort of a compilation as many of the tracks here have appeared on Lourdes Pita's early releases.
More
Shawn Pittman & Jay Moeller - Everybody Wants to Know Review by Gary Hill It would be easy from looking at the cover to expect this to be a country album. It's definitely not that.
More
Plainride - Plainride (vinyl) Review by Gary Hill The sticker on this record declares it as "heavy. freaky. fuzzy." I'd consider that accurate.
More
Donovan Plant - Donovan Plant and the Leafs - Night Feel Good Review by Gary Hill There is a real classic element at play on this EP. The music fits somewhere in the same zone as Tom Petty.

More

More
Poco - One Night In Nashville Review by Gary Hill There was a time when music like this ruled the airwaves. These guys came out of the same school of soft rock as Crosby, Stills and Nash and The Eagles.
More
Jeremy Poland and Lantz Dale - Timeless Soul Review by Gary Hill
This kind of soft rock based pop music is the kind of thing that really works on top 40 radio.
More

More
Jeremy Porter and the Tucos - Above the Sweet-Tea Line Review by Gary Hill I dig the roots rock vibe of this set.
More
Jarel Portman - Supersonic Review by Gary Hill This is quite a cool set. It has some moments that are down- right exceptional. Even the cuts that fall a bit short of that are still pretty darned good.
More
Leroy Powell and the Messengers - The Overlords of the Cosmic Revelation Review by Gary Hill This album is extremely strong.
More
Powerman 5000 - Abandon Ship Review by Gary Hill To a good degree you know what you are going to get when you listen to Powerman 5000,
More
Summerlyn Powers - The Hive Review by Gary Hill This EP features an intriguing blend of sounds. There is a country element at play for certain, but many times that's strictly because of the vocals.
More
Present Company - Present Company Review by Gary Hill There is something to be said for the power of shorter albums. I think this is a disc that could have benefitted from the removal of a few songs.
More
Hugh Prestwood - I Used to Be the Real Me Review by Gary Hill
There was a time when folk music was a big part of the popular culture. Don't get me wrong, it still is to a large degree.

The Pretty Things - Bare As Bone, Bright As Blood Review by Gary Hill The Pretty Things is a band that has an interesting history.
More
Lloyd Price - Mr. Personality: The R&B Hits 1952-60 (vinyl) Review by Gary Hill Lloyd Price is an artist who is considered an influence and originator of rock and roll. Listening to this set, I can definitely hear that.
More
Jackson Price and the Blues Rockets - I Used to Have Fun Review by Gary Hill While there is some range here, this is overall a pretty traditional blues album. The blues is a rather limited form, so it can feel repetitive at times.

More
Priest - Body Machine Review by Gary Hill This is an intriguing set of music. It's electronic, but it seems to move deftly between EDM, Goth, techno, 80s stuff like Depeche Mode and more.
More
Prince - Musicology Review by Gary Hill Prince was on top of the world for a long time, but then he made a lot of bad decisions that caused him to fall from grace. It all started when he changed his name to a symbol (it turned out later this was a ploy to get out of his contract with Warner).
More
Prince - The Very Best of Prince Review by Gary Hill Since the last issue of Music Street Journal went live a couple months ago we lost three extremely talented musicians from three different styles of musical artistry.
More
Professor Louie - & The Crowmatix - Crowin' the Blues Review by Gary Hill
It takes a special set of skills to create music that feels modern and yet faithful to the old musical styles at the same time.
More
Professor Louie - and the Crowmatix - Songs of Inspiration Review by Gary Hill I've reviewed quite a bit of music from this act over the years. This new set seems based more on gospel music.
More
Psychocide - Alcohol & Bad Decisions Review by Gary Hill It's definitely hard to land a label on these guys. As close as you can come is "hard rock."
More
Ptolemea - Maze Review by Gary Hill I am tempted to land this one under progressive rock. There is a lot of proggy sound in several of the cuts.
More
Purusa - Repair Review by Gary Hill The mix of sounds on this set is fairly wide.
More
Purusa - Amnesia Review by Gary Hill I previously reviewed a set from this act and liked it quite a bit. I'd have to say that this one is stronger.
