What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Fabulous guitarist is Pat ! Saw Hendrix' live show in Ottawa in 1968 at age 13 and learned the guitar in a year !!!!

He exiled from Canada early in his career to the UK and sort of settled in Florida . As far as reception in Canada I'm not sure so I would have to pass this off to Mr. Evil B !!!!!

Your Putting It Straight album is highly acclaimed from what I've read !!!! He is known for a tremendous live show .

One of my favorites by him (a little biased on this one is "Stevie" )....tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

from my library (vinyl)



Travers cites his influences as Hendrix, Page, Clapton and Beck. That could sum up his sound. Excellent rock
guitarist. Up there with Johnny Winter which some of this reminds me of. Not much of a vocalist in my view. Three
tracks here left me flat, with one great one in Dedication. This is Pat's third album and the guy's still goin'.
Showing an album in 2010. Gettin' Betta and Life In London were released as singles from here, with neither
charting, but the album reached #70. Pat's peak popularity here would come a few albums later, and a quick decline
thereafter. He may have done better in his native Canada, but not sure about that. We need some Canadian expert
here. Who would that be?

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Off Beat Ride

Best Track - Dedication

this one is dedicated to the people who,
helped me make a stand,helped me make it through...
and everybody's got at least one
friend to lend a hand,and baby if you can't see that,
well you just dont understand,you just dont
understand..
so forget all the suspicion,
the foolish,selfish pride,
you got to reach down deeper for good,
you give so much a try,
and you know that is a good habit,
and once you really try,and you stand up to the top,
with a close friend by your side...lonliness is gone, yeh,yeh,

try to be ,one of those people,who can understand,
when life is never been easy,
I try to take people by the hand..
you know that i never been religious,
but it seems so bit of me..
if we could do just a little more,
means so much to me
