* Back in the 60's, Peter Posa reigned as NZ's King of the electricguitar. Throughout NZ and the Pacific his guitar playing was asinfluencial as Hank Marvin or, later, Eric Clapton.
* Peter's recording of 'White Rabbit' went on to sell over 100,000 in NZ, hit the top of the charts in Australia, and around the Pacific. Peter was a major pop star, appearing on television, touring full-time (360 days in one particularly crazy year) and releasing 20 albums and innumerable singles. Then he simply disappeared.
* 'My Pick' marks a remarkable new chapter in the career of one of the great artists in New Zealand music. Peter Posa hasn't recorded for decades. This first collection - his homage to heroes like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson - shows he's lost nothing during his time away.
* There's also a new maturity in his playing. Peter's pick of gospel and country hits reveals an unhurried, laid-back feel, blending an "easy on the ear" traditional style with a modern country sound.
