pat mAcdonald - The Blues of Sin
pat mAcdonald - The Blues of Sin
"...The foreboding, bass-driven sound of the Purgatory Hill Harp brought me back down to reality. I've never believed in purgatory, but there are qualities of purgatory here in this world. In the dirty, stomp blues, I saw this world as "purgatory on earth," a waiting room where we wait through struggles and suffering, waiting to be saved from the dark, brooding, foreboding tones of this world and be lifted up above the blues, lifted up to eternal life... Of course, as we wait for eternal life, God calls on us to do His will on earth... But we can't be overconfident in our ability to make this world heavenly. This world is filled with the dark blues of sin. We can't be lifted out of those blues by our own actions. Our 'heaven on earth' goals are stunted by 'purgatory on earth' reality..." - Rev. Benjamin C. Squires

pat mAcdonald Interview on rAw TiMe
PAT MACDONALD Interview on rAw TiMe
"I've always been drawn to the lower notes on the guitar," says Macdonald when questioned about his sound. His trademark is a unique dirtch of dark and murky blues boogie and sex-swamp. He is the epitome of an old school one man show with his custom made boot stomp box, electric semi-hollow guitar and a voice that is at once angelic and evil. After seeing Macdonald solo, it is easy to see how other instruments might just get in the way of the boogie spook and feelings he nails. There is a scent of the sweet and dangerous, of the sexy and vulnerable. Taped live in Austin on rAw TiMe

With a piece of oak, some string and a cigar box, John Park creates a three-stringed guitar. The cigar box acts as the resonating soundboard for the instrument. John then wires the guitar to a buck-fifty cassette-player amp and makes it really rock.

PAT MACDONALD SPEAKS OF "IN THE RED ROOM" (excerpt from the liner notes) "The Red Room is a corner bar in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, a couple blocks from Katherine's mom's, where we live in the U.S. Harley Junior (a.k.a. "H" or "Nick") was kind enough to open it on a Sunday and give us the run of the place, so we moved aside the pool table, set up a P.A. and invited a few friends to drop by later that night. Everything on this disk was played and recorded that day, February 1st, 2004, between 6pm and 2am closing time - just me, my guitar, my foot and harmonica, live with no overdubs. Surviving my cruel process of elimination, a lucky thirteen (eight new originals, three new versions, and a couple covers) made it to this disc. The production cost was about $200, including 3 rooms at the Holiday Motel and a $50 bar tab. I thank everyone who so generously contributed their time and equipment, especially Chris Aaron, H, the Red Room staff, recording engineers Dave Kent and Don Jackovich, mastering engineers Plopper and Vicarious Bliss. Thanks also to Connie for the use of her house, her daughter and so much more, Katherine for more than i can even express, Peter for his analog delay, Jessica, both Jeffs, Zack, Richard, Jim, Tim, Dylan, Hillel, Moolay Management and all who cheered me on and helped load out at 3am." http://www.myspace.com/patmAcdonald

in the Red Room - pat mAcDonald
Limited Edition - Original Recording Re-issued
Good, raw and raucous! author: marvwriter I miss Timbuk3, but it's good to know that Pat M hasn't lost his touch. This CD proves it. Just wish he were back in Texas, although he probably doesn't. Great raw sound, but very rhythmic and listenable. Makes you feel like you were there. Pat hasn't lost his knack for catchy lyrics either. If you ever tour Texas again, Pat, please come to Forgetaboutit in Houston. --CD Baby
