"Peter Jefferies's extraordinary debut solo album,
The Last Great Challenge in a Dull World
, first saw life as a cassette via the Xpressway label of Port Chalmers, New Zealand, in 1990. Though no one's gotten around to writing a book on it yet,
The Last Great Challenge in a Dull World
nonetheless stands as one of the singular singer-songwriter albums of all time, existing on a sparsely populated plane with
Pink Moon
,
I Often Dream of Trains
,
Blues Run the Game
,
Our Mother the Mountain
, and not many others. In a sandy voice that soothes and slashes, Jefferies offers a compassionate, piercingly lucid view of the endeavor of life, all our pain and small glories rendered in tones both harrowing and tender. On piano, drums and percussion, he pounds out melodies that roar, sweep and lilt, accompanied on many songs by the serrated guitars of a variety of players."
