This is Patrick Sweany as I remember him years ago in Canton,OH; a young man my own age playing Country Blues,Ragtime and other 'way back' stuff like he was one of the originators. One guy,ten fingers and a guitar playing in a restaurant and me thinking I had some serious competition. Solo acoustic guitar doesn't get any better than this,this is what it's supposed to be.

You could call this CD exceptionnal, incredible or unbelieavable ! None of these words would mean enough to translate how great the music of Patric Sweany is, you see his guitar playing is exceptionnal and sometimes incredibly intricate, the invention in his playing is unbelievable, same goes with his sensitive vocals, that belies his young age, sometimes his voice reminds me a bit of Scrapper Blackwell's later recordings... Such maturity, knowledge of the idiom and ability to go beyond the strict copy is quite exceptionnal, incredible, unbelievable, but here you have it, hats down to you Mr Sweany.
