Release Notes:

Midnight Souvenirs (Verve/UMe), Peter Wolf's seventh solo album is a
continuation of the singer-songwriter's distinctive and eclectic tales that
brighten and interpret a world gone noir. Following in the tracks of Wolf's
Sleepless, which was honored by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the "500
greatest albums of all-time," the new collection gives hope to the love-wounded
and promises "there's still time for the midnight wine," even if "sometimes you
heal, sometimes you're scarred." Featuring duets with country legend and
national treasure Merle Haggard, the soulfully transcending dynamic award winner
Shelby Lynne, and the haunting and majestic voice of Neko Case, "Midnight
Souvenirs" integrates and embraces rock, R & B, blues, folk and country in a way
that has distinguished Wolf's storied career. Measurable are his decades as the
leader and frenzied focal figure of the J. Geils Band, with whom he showcased
his talents on such hits as "Centerfold," "Freeze Frame," "Love Stinks" and
"Musta Got Lost." "Midnight Souvenirs" was packed fair and square in the studio
by Wolf and Kenny White, who also co-produced "Sleepless" and 1998's "Fools
Parade," celebrated as one of the "50 most influential albums of the '90s" by
Rolling Stone Magazine. Much like the material on those two discs, the majority
of the new songs were co-written with Oscar winner Will Jennings (Eric Clapton's
"Tears From Heaven," Steve Winwood's "Higher Love," and Joe Cocker and Jennifer
Warens duet "Up Where We Belong"). Also contributing to the album were
songwriters Angelo Petraglia and Taylor Rhodes, whose songs have been recorded
by Kings of Leon and Aerosmith.

The 14 songs on the album range from the country blues of "Tragedy"--with Shelby
Lynne--and the hard-rockin' "The Night Comes Down" (dedicated to the late Willy
DeVille) to the bittersweet texture of "It's Too Late For Me" with Merle
Haggard, and the punchline impact of vintage Philly roots R & B on "Overnight
Lows." Wolf and Neko Case deliver an eternal bouquet on "The Green Fields of
Summer."

"I never obsess about the commercial aspect of my music, just like with my
artwork," says Wolf, also an accomplished painter whose art world connections
have included Norman Rockwell, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Director David
Lynch. "What matters is if the painting is interesting to keep or show to
somebody. It's the same with the songs; you hope people will make an emotional
connection. I absorb the influences and reshape them," he says. "The act of
creation is what gives meaning to my life and keeps me going--in music and in
art." -- Peter Wolf
