JIM PETERIK shares:
“Everest is one of my favorite tracks from The Power Of Duets volume 2. It features the amazing vocal chemistry between Toby Hitchcock of Pride of Lions and the powerful voice of Bree Gordon. Everest is about the challenges we face every day- the mountains we climb- the rivers we cross- the set backs we all face each and every day. When we make it back alive we will live to fight another day. And try and make the world a better place.”
