- Just get it
I saw Pat Green do a few songs a few years ago at Jerry Jeff's B'day in Austin, and I saw him do two again this year. It's clear that he's a great songwriter, but I couldn't really appreciate him as a performer without a band and only doing a few songs. But I was interested, and friend recommended George's Bar. Wow. It reminds me of the '70s, when I discovered Willie and Waylon and Jerry Jeff and Guy and Ray Wylie. I just went onto Amazon.com and bought everything else he did. This '97 release wins my award for best disc of 2000.

- Just one more reason why I love Texas!
This CD reminds me of all the things I love about Texas. Pat is much like Robert Earl Keen (another Texas country artist), only his voice is sweeter and his lyrics aren't SO enlightened, but still good. Both artists obviously have a great love for this state which rubs off in the music. The songs themselves you can sing along to. I travel a lot, and "Songs about Texas" is the perfect thing to listen to when I'm homesick. The only dud on the album is "1-900 lover" which is just another lame Robert Earl Keen rip-off. Pat is at his best when he's not trying to be funny, but just singing about the creeks and the hills and the plains and the beers and all that great Texas stuff. All in all, the album is a real sweet thang!

- Pat's Best Album
If your in to Texas music (JJW or REK)...you'll love Pat Green. He has the voice of Keen and the lyrics of Walker and is a blast to see live! George's Bar is his best CD. Just put it in your player, press repeat and enjoy!

- The next big name in Texas Music.
If you like Robert Earl Keen or Chris Wall, buy this CD. Produced by Lloyd Maines this CD is a road-trip favorite. The cover of Townes Van Zandt's Snowing on Raton is awesome with harmonies provided by Natalie Maines, lead singer of Dixie Chicks. Two Pat Green originals, John Wayne and Jesus and If I had a Million, really shine.
