West Coast Diaries, Vol. 3, a collection of songs unreleased on CD, opens with a faithful version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson," followed by some light poppy tunes, including a couple of gems.
Charlie Peacock is quite the pop tunesmith/performer, with a high-pitched voice that sounds somewhat like
Smokey Robinson. The highlights include the soulful "When Love Was Spoken" and the aforementioned "Mrs. Robinson." Supporting players include
Brent Bourgeois and
Lyle Workman. Even though some tracks sound demo-ish, this is a decent set. ~ Tim Griggs
