Rodney Crowell, Tom Russell, Janis Ian Hail "Achingly Beautiful" (People) Gretchen Peters

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) In a career that's included Grammy nominations and a CMA win for Song of the Year, Gretchen Peters has earned no small amount of praise from the critics, but her biggest fans may be her fellow songwriters. Rodney Crowell, who duets with Peters on her new album, 'Hello Cruel World' (1/31), Tom Russell, Janis Ian, and Darrell Scott have all fallen for her deeply moving music.

"Beautiful, brave and poetic... inspires me to tears." -- Rodney Crowell

"This is the best record I've heard in many, many years." -- Tom Russell

"Love her work, love her live presence, love her songs." -- Janis Ian

"A great record...full of beauty and real life from a grand voice." - Darrell Scott

Born out of a tumultuous year of change, 'Hello Cruel World' is Peters' most personal and unflinchingly honest work to date. Beliefnet called the album's first single, "Dark Angel," "haunting" and "inspirational." Listen to their premiere here: https://bit.ly/pvzhGJ
