Singer/songwriter Peter Stuart first came to attention as part of Dog's Eye View, though he left that band after its second album, 1997's Daisy. After he went solo, he opened for acts such as Counting Crows, Live, and Paula Cole, and wrote material for Bon Jovi and the Go-Go's. His 2002 solo debut, Propeller, was produced by Andrew Williams, who also worked with Peter Case and Old 97's. Actually completed in early 2001, he sold several thousand copies of it while touring before striking a deal with Vanguard, which issued it in mid-2002. ~ Richie Unterberger
