"A Thousand Times" is a new song debuted this week by Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill, a preview of a forthcoming collaborative album due out by the married couple later this year.
Peterson (of The Bangles fame) and Cowsill (drummer for The Beach Boys for more than two decades and original member of the singing group The Cowsills) teamed up to craft this Americana album of songs originally written by John's late brothers, Barry and Bill Cowsill.
The album will be titled Long After the Fire.
Said Cowsill of "A Thousand Times" in a statement:
"The first song Vicki and I ever sang together as a duo was 'A Thousand Times,' at the Bill Cowsill Benefit Show. In 2000, when I was preparing to go out on my first tour with the Beach Boys, Bill had come down to visit me in Ojai, CA, and we sat around together while I was learning the Beach Boys' guitar parts. Bill would sing with me while I was rehearsing. Afterward, we started singing songs like 'A Thousand Times,' 'Deliver Me,' and 'If I Were You.' It was wonderful. I find it very fitting that this is one of the main songs that was always going to be a no-brainer to include on 'Long After The Fire .' The recording sounds beautiful, and I love all the old-fashioned lyrics, too."
Added Peterson:
"A Thousand Times" is a favorite of mine from Blue Shadow's album, "On The Floor Of Heaven." I got to know this song very well because Susan Cowsill used to perform it with our mutual Continental Drifters band member and her then-husband, Peter Holsapple. A beautiful song about fidelity and resisting temptation."
Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill have a handful of live dates coming up soon - and stay tuned for more about their new musical project together.
