b'Lifelong musician and Morrison Hotel Gallery co-founder Peter Blachley, \\xa0will issue his debut,\\xa0Nevada Sky. The masterful Americana album\\u2014which will be available as a vinyl LP with a download card\\u2014features a vibrant Henry Diltz photographed cover image of a trusty old cherry red 1949 GMC pickup cruising down a rustic stretch of highway in anytown USA.\\xa0Nevada Sky\\xa0documents a life of inspiration, reinvention, and marks a profound coming together of many of the facets of Blachley\\u2019s life\\u2014family, photography, music, loves won and lost, and professional and personal aspirations.Nevada Sky\\xa0begins with the sweet country weariness of \\u201cBig Old Train\\u201d and the opening lines:\\xa0If you tell me where were going/ And I\\u2019ll tell you where we\\u2019ve been/And that big old train keeps rolling down the line.\\xa0It\\u2019s an apt and warmly engaging metaphor to start a storyteller album. From there, with a richly expressive baritone, Blachley takes the listener to the streets of New York City with paternal sensitivity on the folk tune \\u201cSoho Sunday Morning,\\u201d and to breathtaking open sky beauty of \\u201cNevada Sky.\\u201d And the poignant and poetic \\u201cSalvation Songs\\u201d transports the listener to the optimistic fire of the protest song movement and the ensuing introspective singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s.Nevada Sky\\xa0folds family stories, personal and professional journeys, and lifelong dreams into one Americana storybook. Blachley says in conclusion: \\u201cWith this album, I\\u2019ve left my legacy.\\u201d'
