Peace by Piece
Peace by Piece is the ninth album by San Francisco psychedelic rock band Quicksilver Messenger Service and the first to be released with guitarist Gary Duncan at the sole command. A later released CD-version includes two bonus tracks, entitled "Crazy Jesse" and "Electric Love".

Reception
Gary Duncan, guitarist for Quicksilver Messenger Service since the 1960s, formed a band in the mid-1980s that he variously called Quicksilver and Gary Duncan Quicksilver. Peace by Piece is its first release. 

In his 1-star review for AllMusic.com, William Ruhlmann panned the effort, saying in part, "[This is] an album that has nothing to do with Quicksilver Messenger Service and isn't any good."
