Three Days
Album Review
I think the album is great! More quality work by Pat and his awsome band. I would have to say that I like the old Southbound better, but this new one is still good.

Artist Review
“Three Days” is simply a cross between (what's essentially a poor attempt at imitating) the vibe Jerry Jeff pulled off in the 70s (the pre Lyold-a-matic JJW) and The Dave Mathews Band. Unfortunately, that mix is little better than a tequila 'n coke. Pat's writing is strong in the hook department. He is able to come up with some infectious melodies. The songs, however, suffer as he tries to write around those brilliant choruses. Maybe it's because he is better at the awe-shucks country boy lets-have-fun thing than he is at deep thought. Ironic as it sounds after the horrid outing in "Songs We Wish We'd Written", which by the way should have included the Green anthem “Songs About Texas”, Pat could better his records by doing less of his own material and more outside songs. His self-proclaimed jingle of "Texas Songwriter" is more of a wish than a reality and, no doubt, would make Guy Clark roll over in his grave if he was dead. Upon receiving the generic and unlabeled Advance Music CD for “Three Days”, I felt the sickening sting of deja vu. Just as with “Carry On”, I could tell at first listen which songs were Pat’s and which were from outside sources. Pat just hasn’t logged the miles as a songwriter to pen a truly solid song. You can’t ignore his entertainment value, but the caveat in such sentiments must be that the picture of his success is painted with a brush dipped in cheese rather than merit. He’s simply done what Clark, REK, Ingram, Crowell, Earle, and the Robisons refused to do—he’s pandered to the lowest common denominator of the Texas and Southeast college crowd. Now as the “Texas Music” flag gets momentarily passed from Charlie to Pat, let’s just hope that the inevitable failure of investing millions of dollars into marketing a REGIONAL act to the nation doesn’t blacken the eyes of the real talent coming from that state and sever their chances at saving country music.

Why is everyone all of a sudden down on Pat Green for getting a nice record deal? His newest CD is really good, and that song "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" is just awesome with Willie Nelson. There's lots of Texas talent out there like Pat Green, Cross Canadian, Roger Creager, Kenefick, Cory Morrow and others who are going to do well nationally as well as locally. Don't be so dang critical of their success!

Three Days
Album Review
I dont think its a question of Pat selling out. This CD is just plain bad. The singing is terrible. The songwriting is juvenile. Pat showed some potential with "Carry On" but this CD is the worst Texas music CD Ive heard this year.

"Three Days" is just as great, and possibly better than, all of Pat's other CDs. Just because he's playing to a bigger, national audience doesn't mean he is any less of a singer/songwriter. If you're going switch loyalties and start bad-mouthing someone who is going after their dreams and accomplishing something, what do you do to your friends? Way to go, Pat! Keep making us proud to have been with you from the beginning!

Very good CD. I enjoy all of the songs on it. For all of you who judge Pat for making it big, give him a chance. You can't stay on the local scene forever when you're as good as he is. Best songs: "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" and "Who's to Say". For those of you who judge Pat, check out "Who's to Say".

Three days sounds great. I'm tired of hearing how everyone thinks Pat is selling out. He's spreading this great music to a wider audience, is that a bad thing? I haven't seen anything from him that would indicate "selling out". I think it's good for him to get a broader base, he shouldn't have to stay in Texas or anywhere else his whole career if he doesn't want to. Good luck to Pat with his new record and for the future.

Album Review
Way to go, Frat Green. How can join the Nashville-Pop scene? Maybe you won't turn to shit. Maybe you'll bring Texas music to the rest of the country. You get three stars just because you haven't completely sold out. At least you don't wear a cowboy hat, yet.
