After years of well-executed and well-intentioned 'demos' of tunes, Fool No More is Peter's first true solo recording. The CD is a collection of twelve original songs, combining wonderfully unexpected elements of pop, jazz, folk, and latin music. Fool No More was produced by Peter and the fiercely talented Ben Wittman, who has already helped to produce some of the most beautiful albums of recent memory, including both albums by folk duo the Story, Jennifer Kimball's wonderful first solo CD 'Veering from the Wave', and Lucy Kaplansky's 'Ten Year Night'. Besides co-producing Peter's CD, Ben also plays drums, percussion, additional keyboards and even melodica on the album, as well as recording many of the tracks and doing the final mixes in his own studio. Fool No More incorporates a wide range of moods, from the intense meeting of two worlds on the title track (something like McCoy Tyner bumping into Van Morrison) to the searching lyricism of 'That Which Can't Be Explained' and 'An Interesting Person', from the sprawling 'Postcards and Messages' (which Peter calls 'Riverdance on acid') to the Jobim - Sergio Mendes inspired 'Part of This World', from the slow-building funkiness of 'Caught Me on a Good Day' to the irresistible hook of 'Saving Grace'. The album closes with an Eldridge staple on his live gigs, the poignant 'Deliver Me'. Besides the magic of Ben's grooves to inspire Peter's keyboard playing, Fool No More features many of Peter's favorite musicians, including Marc Shulman, Duke Levine, and Zev Katz. His counterparts in New York Voices, Lauren Kinhan, Kim Nazarian and Darmon Meader, individually add her or his own rich contribution to Peter's music. Lucy Kaplansky also joins in on background vocals for the folky, driving tune 'Larger than Life' and like that song's lyrics suggest, Fool No More is a CD 'to be reckoned with'.
