Synopsis

Album Description
With that old guitar, Pat blends a range of rootsy influences to creat a distinctive voice of his own. From Dave Carter and Bruce Cockburn he draws a sense of adventure and and a fondness for symbolic and spiritual imagery. From Kelly Joe Phelps, the unusual lap-style slide guitar, which is featured throughout the CD. Songs like "Still Point," with its weary soldier wandering home along dusty roads, "Walk With the Spirits," a cautionary tale of vengeance, and "Send You Off In Style," a back-porch party for the departed, all resonate with the memories of ru5ral American music. Yet the songs also speak directly to our doubt and ambivalence, and capture some of the mood of our times. Pat's slide guitar versions of Fred Neil's "The Dolphins, Dave Carter's "Gentle Arms of Eden," and The Stanley Brothers' "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet" are standout tracks on the CD, and show Pat to be an imaginative and skilled interpreter and arranger who can reveal fresh meanings in a good song.

Possibly my favorite

"I have been following Pat Wictor for several years now. I love his slide guitar work and his arrangements. If you like Bonnie Raitt, you'll like him. He's got that mix of blues and folk, tough yet thoughtful that gets me.



I enjoy all his albums, but this one might be my favorite, though right now I'm listening to his new one (Sunset Waltz) and am hearing some new stuff..."
