Pat is the Best Guitarist I've Ever Worked With
author: Robert Duncan
I love this CD. Of course I love anything Pat Buchanan does. We used to work the same clubs in Atlanta back in the 80's...and he happened to be in town following his stint with Hall and Oates and I was lucky enough to get him in the studio.
Pat you seriously changed my life musically...that session was the beginning of a life appreciating the beauty of the guitar, and to this day, you are always the measuring stick for how I determine who is really a good guitarist.
These songs are great. You owe it to yourself to order this and enter the world of Pat Buchanan. Who knows, maybe one day you and I can catch up Pat. All my love- Robert Duncan

The CD is great. Reminds me a lot of the Beatles..nice songs, music voice. I usually prefer new age, no words, but this was great !

Another solidly great Pat Buchanan album.

Hey everyone,
You're going to F@#%ing LOVE this CD!! Get the small order of fries and give up the designer coffee for a few days and use the money to buy this CD. This is NOT yet another lame attempt to recreate something that sounds like Revolver but sounds more like the entire USA Today list of Worst Songs Ever Recorded. Those people should be hit about the face and head with a tube sock full of wood screws.
Seriously, this is a GOOD album. Fear not that you're buying some amateurish sounding piece of crap whose only purpose is to fill a space on your shelf of shame next to other impulse buys like El DeBarge's Greatest Hit (notice the singular). Pat is a tremendously talented musician and singer. I bet even Simon Cowell would like him.
Pat explores some new and thoroughly enjoyable musical territory here. There's more of an eclectic mix of instrumentation than the usual guitar, bass and drums combo. With songs like Sweet Amnesia, Fairest of Seasons and Sad Genie he gets into some really cool arrangements that make room for things like clarinets, harmoniums, flutes, cellos and even full string sections. "Patients" sounds like it could either be from a 1970s Paul Williams soundtrack or a Harry Nilsson album. It's just guilty fun. Go ahead, have some.
At first I was a little disappointed not to see Brad Jones' name on this new album but Pat's created something that's every bit as great as his last album as well as the Idle Jets CD.
BTW, I really wish the credits for the song "Halo" were included. It's such a great performance I'd love to know who played drums and mixed this thing. Best mix on the album, IMHO.
Another excellent album from Pat.
