Reviews & Noteworthy
4.12.2025 - Rootstime: "Every track sounds fantastic thanks to Vastenavondt's beautiful voice and the stunning harmonies and musicianship of top-tier musicians."
23.2.2025 - Rootsville: "Everything else we were about to hear was Piet’s wonderful timbre, his piercing songs, the support of a magnificent quartet of musicians, and the recurring, respectful applause after every track."
14.2.2024 - daMusic: "This music deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. Not just to please Vastenavondt, but because we believe that humanity, now more than ever, needs beautiful records like ‘Call Me An Angel’."
10.2.2024 - Rootsville: "A diamond that simply belongs at the very top."
15.12.2023 - daMusic: "You’ve probably guessed it by now: ‘Call Me An Angel’ is a brilliant record. We can only hope these nine songs are granted the chance to touch and move as many listeners as possible."
4.11.2023- Luminous Dash: "This LP catapultates us back to the late '60s and early '70s, when California's Laurel Canyon was the breeding ground for songs by the likes of Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, and Gram Parsons. And yes, every track on this record reaches that same high standard, and the songs themselves could all become classics"
3.11.2023 - Rootstime: "Talent attracts talent, that much is clear, and that goes for the musician-friends at Piet’s side as well: master guitarist Charly Verbinnen (guitar), slide master Dirk Lekenne (backing vocals, guitar, slide guitar, lap steel), and the beating heart of the band with the tight rhythm section of bassist Loe Dejaeghere (backing vocals and bass) and the legendary Stoy Stoffelen on drums—all household names who once took their first steps in the music scene in Leuven."
3.11.2023 - Rootsville: "This is the work of a singer-songwriter pur sang, and you could truly say it’s all about that voice and his guitar."
26.12.2020 - daMusic: "This album reflects Pete’s search for like-minded and kindred spirits. He aims to create a sense of togetherness in a time of isolation, and succeeds wonderfully in doing so."
2.12.2020 - daMusic: "Every now and then, you discover a gem that you immediately want to share with everyone. Today is one of those days."
30.11.2020 - Luminous Dash: "Pete confirms how his original work pays tribute to the big names of Americana and country rock, such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and their solo exploits, but also the Eagles. Perhaps CSN&Y most of all."
