Review of "Folk Songs From A Cradley Bloke":

"An old school set from an old school Black Country folkie. Highlights are the social history songs of the long gone Cradley chainmaking industry, but elsewhere the sound is very dated and the songs and treatments don't linger long in the memory" - Anonymous review from the March 2013 issue of "fROOTS" magazine.

Passing comment by Bev........"Very grateful for the review, however isn't the sound of traditional style folk songs supposed to be very dated?"

DB0041 - Beaujangle Label - 2012 - "Rendezvous"

17 tracks of mainly "country/rock" style songs, although difficult to categorise due to a bit of jazz guitar and bluegrass thrown in for good measure. Performed by Bev on vocal/guitar/bass guitar/mandolin/banjo/percussion/keyboard, together with several of his regular band pals namely Pete Hartley-violin, Maurice Hipkiss-pedal steel guitar/dobro, Dutch Lewis-saxophones, Harry Rowlands-bass guitar/vocal, Ken Wright-drums/vocal. All have contributed to various tracks on this album.
The CD includes an 8-page sleeve notes and lyrics.

Review: "Rendezvous" was chosen as the showcase album on Express FM's Country Music Show hosted by Russell Hill on Sunday 19th August 2012. It was described as "absolutely marvellous" by the DJ and three tracks were broadcast during the show which were "A Little Bit Of Country Music and a Little Bit Of Rock 'n' Roll", "Apache" and "Sweet Georgia Brown".

Review: "Rendezvous" was reviewed in the March / April issue of "Music Maker" magazine as follows:

"Bev Pegg is a musician who can seemingly turn his hand to a myriad of styles, from country to skiffle, from rock 'n' roll to rhythm and blues. Throw in a little jazz, bluegrass and humour, offer solo and band engagements and seemingly you have an unstoppable one-man entertainment industry.

The rendezvous here is with sounds largely American and the album has an undoubted country feel but not exclusively so. I don't think Bev would claim to be the world's greatest singer (he probably doesn't claim to be Stourbridge's either) but his voice has a certain rough around the edges world-weary charm that fits the music just perfect. He's also adept across a range of different instruments but with a number of associates to hand, Rendezvous presents the sound of a band in full swing.

A good chunk of the songs are Bev's own, of which the title track is as good a road song romance as you're likely to hear east of Route 66. Covers include a version of Wildwood Flower, interestingly sung from a male perspective, while Learning The Game, a much underrated Buddy Holly song, is delivered with all the poignancy it deserves. A couple of instrumentals add to the overall diversity on show, with a fine version of Apache displaying Bev's unerring skill at precision mimicry.

Over fifty years in the business and Bev shows no sign of tiring just yet."

 DB0033 - Beaujangle Label - 2011 - "Country Field" - Bev Pegg - A selection of various country style songs, many of which are original Bev Pegg compositions.
"Country Field" was reviewed and given a 5 star rating by "Maverick Magazine" in their October 2011 issue: "If you've not heard of Bev before, you're in for a treat. Based in the UK's Black Country, Bev Pegg is able to perform a wide variety of styles ranging from jazz and skiffle to rock 'n' roll. Supported by his superb band, together they turn their hands to country and excel with each and every one of these nineteen tunes, fifteen of which were penned by Bev.
With so many fine examples to choose from, it is difficult to find the best track, but if this had to be done it would be Good Friends Together. Just like its title suggests, this is one to sing along to with a couple of pals with the introduction of the harmonica adding further quality to this tune. Bev and his band are also more than capable of releasing tracks that can get couples on the dance floor whilst gazing wistfully into each other's eyes. A Poor Boy's Lament is simply brilliant especially when the quality of the fiddle allows for a bona-fide great song to feature on this genuinely excellent album. Country rockabilly tracks are also scattered around the record, which includes Hot Rod Telecaster. The guitar skills demonstrated by Bev on this instrumental are quite awesome and acts as a benchmark for how a guitar can sound if played skilfully. Bev is a prolific songwriter and performer. It would be quite incredible to see this material being performed in the flesh. That would be a sight many wouldn't forget in a hurry." - Russell Hill - Maverick Magazine and Express FM Radio Presenter.

"Come Along Boys An' Listen To My Tale" was reviewed in the January 2010 issue of "Maverick" magazine as follows:

"Harking back to the great days of country music by including some fine covers with many surpassing the originals.

A West Midlands native but sings as though he's actually from Texas or Nashville, Bev Pegg is something special. Bev's six-man band was only formed in 2008 but what a sound they have been able to create in such a short space of time. The album containing covers of some of the truly great songs in country music, their attempts certainly are commendable and certainly worth a dance or two with a loved one.

Mountain Dew has to be the finest of the sixteen tracks. With a quality opening beat that seems to run through the tune's duration, I'm sure that this has been played to energetic efforts by both band and crowd in countless large and small venues due to how good it is. The traditional Cripple Creek has an authentic sound about it which I'm sure die-hard fans of this great style of music would appreciate and probably include it in their list of top renditions as, just like Mountain Dew is just so outrageously good.

Even Hank Williams You Win Again is included on the album and a version which I'm sure ol' Hank wouldn't object to hearing. With some mighty sweet pedal steel playing and vocals that certainly give credit to Hank, this song has the ability to transport you to one of Nashville's honky tonks due to its authentic sound. Only the most talented need apply when attempting to play Orange Blossom Special, and in the example of this band they can certainly count themselves in this musical camp. The highest of plaudits must go to the violinist Pete Hartley, as his playing is just marvellous. A faster version than many, this merely adds to the frenetic quality laid down by its creator Ervin T. Rouse who I'm sure feels very proud that his tune is still being played at this level over seventy years since composing it.

A lengthy album it may be due to it consisting of sixteen tracks, this extensive playtime is by no means a negative aspect as each and every song finds themselves ending up just as good as each other. An awesome album to say the least performed by a band who are simply outstanding." - R.H. - "Maverick" magazine - January 2010. ///

"All Sort Of Stuff" was reviewed in the March 2011 edition of "Maverick" magazine as follows:

"Versatile Bev gives it all he's got. Based in the West Midlands in the UK, Bev not only concentrates his extraordinary talent just on one genre but several. Country has been covered in many of his previous records and here Bev is found in a rock and roll mood which, defines his ability to make his audience shake a tail feather.

The album contains an astonishing twenty-one songs and all are absolute crackers. Walk On By is always a crowd favourite and I can see this going down an absolute storm in his frequent gigs. Also highly enjoyable and creditable is Buddy Holly's It's So Easy. A bona fide classic, it is covered extremely well here with Bev's lead guitar so impressive that you can see this track influencing up-and-coming musicians.

Bev Pegg is an artist I highly recommend to anybody who likes their music performed by someone who is obviously skilful in doing so - I hope to catch him live in the not-too-distant future." - Russell Hill - "Maverick" magazine - March issue 2011.

Music Maker Magazine Review of " Miss Rosalind Campbell-Smythe Cordially Invites You To Her Party" Album:

"Banjo, vocal introduction to "The Darktown Strutter's Ball" an old jazz favourite that my dad, Alan Breeze used to sing with the Billy Cotton Bandshow. This set is firmly routed in the '20s jazz era which was reflected later in the '50s by BBC Light Programme, where I spent much of my childhood watching my dad record Radio and TV shows. "Lazy River" is a classic Hoagy Carmichael song that the wonderful Bobby Darin had such a big hit with. Very relaxed presentation of the song, which leads into "Louisiana", followed by "Someday Sweetheart" with a clear piano introduction and Bev Pegg's easy style of delivery in his vocal presentation. These are sentiments and lyrics from a different era that we have sadly exchanged in modern times for far less coherent offerings. There are a host of other songs and tunes from an earlier age including Walter Donaldson's and Gus Kahn's "Yes Sir, That's My Baby", a track that I'm sure BBC Radio stalwart Desmond Carrington would add to his playlist. Paul Whiteman's Orchestra were the first to record "Mississippi Mud" in the '20s and ironically enough I have a copy of that band's original wage sheet from the period, which I will feature in a later article. It will be somewhat of an eye opener regarding fees that they were paid. Bev and the band cover the evergreen Rogers and Hart's "You Took Advantage Of Me" in a mid swing tempo and then play ably through the penultimate track "Sleepy Time Down South". "Dinah" is the final offering on this 14 track CD and heralds the end of a very enjoyable set that takes one back to earlier times and very fond memories. It?s strange reviewing this CD at this time, as I am writing a book on my father Alan Breeze and his life with Bill Cotton's Band and our family. Granada TV are supposed to be making a film about the Cottons (father and son) later this year and I am informed that one of the UK?s best actors Timothy Spall (Auf Weidersein Pet, Stir Crazy, Sweeny Todd) will be playing my father. As a conclusion I have to congratulate all the musicians involved who are, Bev Pegg (vocals and guitar), John Burnett (trumpet), Norman Field Clarinet and saxophone), Roger Heeley (piano), Len Thwaites (double bass), Ken Wright (drums) and Derek Halford (trombone). All of these musicians are highly rated in the profession for their individual abilities and are equally at home using their talents in a group formation. The sessions were recorded at Beaujangle Studios in Worcestershire with both musical arrangements and production by Bev Pegg. - Michele Breeze - Music Maker Magazine. March/April 2009

Music Maker Magazine Review of "Seascape Cottage" Album. March / April 2009:

"Whilst Bev's name is vaguely familiar, I can't ever recall receiving one of his albums - and what a treat I've missed until now. The casual listener might be forgiven for thinking that many of these songs are previously un-released Ramblin' Jack Elliott tracks - but they are all Pegg originals, with the single exception of "Sweet Farewell" which he adapted from John Grigg's original. Bev is a man of many talents and able to sing with a convincing American talking-blues or bluegrass "twang", but then reverting to his native Midlands accent for folksy items like "Strictly Business" and "Halesowen '57". Pegg is a very able acoustic guitarist, gifted songwriter, comedian and all round musical entertainer and his wry sense of humour surfaces from time to time, making this 19-track album a thoroughly entertaining experience. I loved his take on Ramblin' Jack with the engaging title track and was convinced of a genuine American pedigree; how wrong I was. Pegg is simply extremely adept at switching dialects and I'd love to hear him in a live situation. It's never easy to create a full collection of nineteen songs using just a solo acoustic for accompaniment but Pegg pulls it off superbly. A subtle bass does creep in on occasions but this is primarily one man and his guitar singing and picking his socks off. I adored his tongue-in-cheek "Nearly As Good" with its references to Howard Keel, Johnny Cash, Roger Daltrey, Rick Nelson and Frank Sinatra. Clever stuff.Another favourite of mine is "Girl On A Boat" and Bev's picking is superb - but it gets better on "Gran'pa's Truck". This is pure nostalgia for an old American pick-up truck and his lyrical pace and delivery reminded me somewhat of the late Jerry Reed. A final bonus point for me is the inner sleeve colour shot of the splendid 1951 Cadillac. Highly recommended for many reasons. Bryan ChalkerMusic Maker Magazine. March/April 2009

Maverick Magazine review of "Seascape Cottage" February 2011:

Those who have yet to discover Bev for themselves are in for a treat. Hailing from the UK's Black Country and having released countless numbers of records that cover country, pop, jazz and skiffle, the multi-talented Bev Pegg is an artist who seems to have everything going for him. With the exception of one, all of the songs on this album were written by Bev himself and each demonstrate an artist at ease with himself and the talent which he has. The result is a cracking album that covers several styles from folk to country. "Come And See Us Again" sees Bev demonstrating his vocals extremely well and the picking ability he possesses is something to simply stand and marvel at. This sublime quality is also found on "I Aint Sure". With a catchy chorus to it, this tune's tongue-in-cheek sound should make the listener raise a smile on more than one occasion as well as wanting to sing along. Having performed alongside Robert Plant on many occasions, the respect which Bev has gained from this other legendary figure and many other established figures shows that Bev is no flash in the pan, and has musical longevity that the participants in any reality show should be envious of. - Russell Hill - Maverick Magazine - February 2011.
