The lead singer/songwriter for Dog's Eye View put out this solo release in 2002. Wait...Dog's Eye Who? Remember...they were those one-hit wonder boys with "Everything Falls Apart" - popular tune circa 1995. That song was released on "Happy Nowhere." Their follow-up, 1997's "Daisy," which in my book is a much better record, went sadly nowhere fast. Thus, time to go solo.Not a bad idea in theory, but there really isn't much difference between Peter Stuart and Dog's Eye View. His first (and only) solo effort, "Propeller" is not bad, just boring half the time. Don't get me wrong...Peter Stuart has a great voice when he wants to and is lyrically much more talented and ambitious than most. Things get off to a good, peppy start with "Take Me Back" and quickly slows down, sometimes with great effect (e.g. "Innocence" and the aching beautiful acoustic number "Bring You Back").
Since the solo effort didn't really get off the ground either, Peter appears to be looking back through the ocular of man's best friend...Dog's Eye View released "Tomorrow Always Comes" in 2005.
