Thoughts on Album

I really enjoy this album and it is one that I listen to quite frequently at work when I am trying to concentrate on things with having a ton of things to do but want background noise that is upbeat, slow, rhythmic, and yet entertaining without too much that distracts me. There are some songs that I just can't help but sing along to like Them Shoes and other songs I just zone out and focus with the music playing in the back ground which is just fine and the reason I enjoy it so much. Patrick has a voice that is unique I can pick his music and voice out of everyone else and yet it is soothing enough that I just like to hear it and his songs. I also enjoy his electric guitar and strands it is nice background music and makes your head just rock back and forth while listening along to it.

Grade: Definitely a high B low A

Would I recommend: Depends on the genre you are looking for his voice is unique his guitar is not as unique as say Gary Clark Jr but is easy to listen to. Good music for work. Also good to sit out on the deck with a cold beer and just relax to.
