Peter Salett’s musical versatility brought him to the attention of the film industry who have placed his music in films while his own singer-songwriting career has been more concentrated with serious fans of dedicated musicians. 2010’s Addicted to Distraction is his sixth self-released solo album and it’s another varied production that keeps its heart in a roots-rock that starts in the ‘50s, dips into the ‘60s and comes out as a memorable fit for the new century’s alt-country scene. His clear, clean diction makes him immediately accessible and the sharp production brings all the pieces to light. “Desert Town,” the Tex-Mex “The Rains of Cozumel,” “Infatuation” and “Friday Morning” stretch out over the American Southwest with a country twang, while “Feet On the Ground,” “It Don’t Bother Me No More,” “Tell Me from the Heart” and “Sifting Through the Pages” apply a lighter touch where Salett’s vocals float over a Bakersfield Sound-influenced backing. “Snow Covered Ice,” for additional drama, turns creaky and desolate.
