Peter Wolf

In the 70s and 80s the J. Geils Band was a hard working, blues rock band from Boston. Their lead singer was Peter Wolf. One of their first hits was the song "Love Stinks." But they really didn't hit it big until "Centerfield." This song was a big hit and actually not a lot like most of their previous material, being a lot more pop oriented.

If it was the change in musical direction or the pressure of being "Big", it wasn't long afterwards that the group broke up. Peter Wolf went on to a solo career, even though he hasn't released enough albums. Wolf is an exceptional singer, reaching back for inspiration from those old R&B singles and blues singers. This video is from his first solo album and is the title song "Lights Out."
