Pat Green Album: “Songs We Wish We'd Written”

Ok. This is one of the better CD's you'll listen to or buy in 2001. If you've never heard of Pat Green or Cory Morrow, you're about to. These guys are about to break out of the local Texas music market and conquer the nation in 2-3 more years. What I like best about this CD is that they do a great job of covering classic songs without overdoing or spoiling the originals. There's a great new song written by Django Walker (Jerry Jeff Walker's son) that is amazing called, Texas on My Mind. These two former college roomates team up to do a great job on classic songs. What I like best about this CD though is that it's not on a major label from Nashville. These two singers tour on their own, record and finance their own CD's and are not promoted by some huge major label. Lloyd Maines does another good job of producing by capturing Pat and Cory's vocals and musicianship like they sound in concert. These two will arrive one day - they're making it big in Texas. Check it out!!

Pat Green and Cory Morrow are great performers and wonderful songwriters. The songs on this album are classics and they're covered beautifully by two of Texas' best. It's a fantastic album especially for younger listeners who might not otherwise be introduced to such great music. I bought it and loved it. I think it's an album that everyone can enjoy. If you've never heard Texas country then this is a good album to cut your teeth on. You'll be left wanting more for sure.

On a side note - I would like to see Pat and Cory release an album with original songs that they perform together. I'd buy that too.

Every song on this album is a classic, and every one of them is well done by Pat and Cory. I wish there were more albums like this.

You have to admire Pat & Cory's ability to pick great songs. I can't get enough of Red Bandana, Live Forever, and Stuck in the Middle! You can tell that these guys are friends, they have great harmony. Pat got his big break not soon after and I doubt Cory has much longer to wait.

I really like this cd if you are just getting into Pat Green then this should be your next cd to buy. You really need this cd if you are a Pat Green fan.
