Good music. Recording of drums is lacking in dynamics. Bass is weak on this recording and vocals/lead guitar are too highly prominent in the mix. Good musicians and good tight playing.

This guy is amazing.Every song is great.We want more.This guys too good to just to have one disc.Not even a website.Such talent.

This is definitely an all-star lineup of minneapolis musicians. But what really shines is how Patrick put all this together. Being a Minneapolis Producer too. I can appreciate the all the work that was put into this. Lets start with the Hornheads. Minneapolis' version of the Tower of Power. the are as tight as ever. -And probably the most influential drummer in Minneapolis, Bobby Vandell. He's nailing those horn hits with his snare, with ease. Bobby definitely set the standard for all the drummers in this town. That makes him so responsible for the Minneapolis sound. Not only that, he's a joy to work with! - Another person responsible for the minneapolis sound is Ricky Peterson. His work with everyone from David Sanborn to George Benson to Prince,Is Legendary. Now you gotta check him out on -Save it for some other Fool- His bluesy jazz solo totally compliments Pats guitar. Its a perfect fit. Ricky is another player who is not just incredibly talented, he is one of the nicest guys in the world. Just having these nice people playing on his project, is a testimony not only to Pats talent but also to his personality (way to go, Pat)- Now onward- There's no shuffle player in the midwest like drummer Rob Stupka. From his legendary work with the Butanes Soul Revue to the first Jonny Lang c.d.. is a blast to listen to and experience. - only when we're alone- testifies to that. Also check out George Benson percussionist Estaire Godinez. She always adds. No matter what recording she's on. - Of course the guest appearance of Willie Walker is very smooth and gritty at the same time. --- Minneapolis was ready for an ambitous blues project. One that has some very nice, almost, jazzy twists. Its fun to see someone with the talent, vision, and abundant songcraft to pull this off. And getting great players like bassist Al Pettis, Vocalist Lisa Wenger, And other notable musicians and singers from the Minneapolis area, doesn't hurt. -But Lets not overlook Pats smooth vocals, and technical but soulful guitar playing. His bluesy bends and Volume pedal work is right on. (With a slight touch of Jazz). Its just enough to keep you wrapped around his songwriting abilities, which is a very strong suit for him. There's always something new coming around the corner. If your a musician you'll love this c.d. or if your just a listener. You'll love this just as much. In the land of Ventura, Pawlenty, the Vikings, bus strikes, and 35 below windchill. Just buy this c.d., sit back, relax, and enjoy. It'll get your toes tappin' and keep you warm.--- THIS IS ONE C.D. YOU HAVE TO GET! -- Mark Arneson, Trimark Productions Inc., Minneapolis Minnesota.

I loved every song on this CD, and that is a great accomplishment!! The songs spoke right to my heart. The music was excellent. I hope there are more of his CD's to come as he has been blessed with a wonderful talent!
