Peter Coia wins First Place in the Renee Ashley Baker
"Christmas Songwriting Contest"
Review by; Renee Ashley Baker
I like songwriter Peter Coia whose "Yellow Ribbon" made itself my favorite. No wonder Neil Young put this song on his website "Living With War". Peter Coia is a tried and true talent. His lyrics are pure poetry and his story telling style is Rod McKuenish. Peter Coia also reminds me of Tom T. Hall who had quite a few "movie song" hits I believe. Peter's "By The Christmas Tree" is catchy and is "easy to dance to". It is easy to dance to at the nightclub during the Christmas holidays and there for it should be covered--recorded--as well. I also liked Peter's "It's nearly Christmas Day" which I'd like to see covered (recorded) by "The Oak Ridge Boys".
(I'd like "The Oak Ridge Boys", "Randy Travis", Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, and George Strait to add Peter Coia to their rolodex if they have not done so already. And I am certain that there are many soft rock and pop groups who will be perusing Peter's song catalogue.)
