author: Margaret
You have put my life to music. I love your sound. I come away feeling less alone and definitely charged. It's music that makes you think too, cool! I have listened to your CD so often while driving that my kids know all the words. I love your sense of humor too. Thank you.

Good old-fashioned rock and roll expressing the ironies of today .
author: Sharon Flynn
Lyrics will resonate with all ages, particularly those who put their dreams aside for a while. "Mother's Day" is a poignant reminder of why our dreams get delayed. It's rocky,nostalgic and finger-snappin good. Go along for the ride.

patrice has a lyrical approach that sets her apart -- she was born to rock!!!!
author: jeff severson/ pro audio review mag
I had this cd in heavy rotation in my car -- whenever it came on I couldn't quite place the artist as it sounded like a major label release. Her passion for pure rock shows and her story ideas are truly unique. Paul Bell's guitar playing (he also plays with Nils Lofgren of the E street band) shines on her songs. A great first effort -- keep an eye on her....

Tastefully Aggressive and Delightfully Versatile Guitar Playing!
author: LadySixString Music
FOLLOWING A DREAM is a true melting pot of musical expression. Songwriting highlight... "Going Through The Motions" (track 3) for its trippy acid country rock feel, very original. Guitar playing highlight... the killer slide solo in "Forget To Forget You" (track 5). Lyrical highlight... consistent throughout the entire CD -- don't forget to read your insert. And you are sure to enjoy "You Affect Me II" (track 14)... a jazzy instrumental reminiscent of Wes Montgomery. Talented songwriting blended with tastefully aggressive and delightfully versatile guitar playing is the reason FOLLOWING A DREAM is a real treat to listen to.
