I haven't even heard 3 days so I can't review that. I do have to say to the people that are turning on him that, first off you would do the same thing given the opportunity. The mans dream is to make music and now he's been given the chance to do that on a large scale. As far as Gribble saying that he he turned on the movement that got him here, you are wrong. The whole nashville sucks thing was all Cory Morrow. Having personally spoken with Pat about it long before this cd was a thought, he told me that the whole nashville thing was overdone. To ask someone to turn away from the fact that they have become popular is stupid and a little selfish. Give the man a break and support him whether he's playing dancehalls or arena's.
Okay clones! Here's a spoon to eat my @#%! I don't give a damn if Patsy makes his records on Mars. Don't friggin' tell me to "support Texas music" and let a bunch of suits in on part of the money. I liked the fact that money went to the artist and not some blowhard in a beemer, that wouldn't know a ShinerBock from his tallywacker. That's what drew me to this music. As a musician myself I've learned to do things my damn self. Pat would have been as big a star no matter what label he was on. There are ways to find independent artist. Oh yeah, like the f'in internet. Speaking of which Pat has taken the chords link off his web site and replaced it with a journal. How many entries start out "Well I bent over the table and David Geffen....etc,etc?" No I wish Pat all the best. The new CD is alright. As for you wanna-be Gribbles. Make up your damn minds where the F Universal/Republic is at: New York, L.A., Toledo! Y'all got me wearin' my hat on my ass, and my boots on my earlobes. Shane it's Nashville not nashvill. Got spellcheck? Get'em Cash Pullin'! I'm out! Support Jason Boland and the Stragglers!
This song picks up right where Carry On left off. It sounds very similar, much different than his old stuff like Dancehall Dreamer and Georges Bar, but it still is the same old Pat Green. Three Days and We've All Got Our Reasons are the best new songs in my opinion. There are many songs that would make great national singles (the above mentioned, Take Me Out To A Dancehall, Texas On My Mind, etc.). Let the man make his money and gain national recognition...he's earned it. Why not show the nation what Texas Country is all about. In time everyone will know of him and the great music from the lonestar state.
Hey Cash Pullin. Pat didnt go to nashvill. Universal records is in L.A. Califorinia and He recorded THREE DAYS in austin with Loyd Maines as His Primary Producer. Get YOUR FACTS STRAIT BEFORE YOU WRITE A REVIEW DUMB-ASS
Hey Lee- notice the spelling of "hey." REK has been a major/minor label roster figure since the beginning. Pat simply needs to experience the world- his writing doesn't change, and please don't compare Pat to REK, REK wouldn't appreciate that.
i think its odd that pats slogan was "support texas music" and then he turns his back on texas and goes nashville. ASSHOLE

This new album stinks. Pat is after the Nashville crowd now, and I'm all too happy to let him go. He was always a wanna-be in the Texas music scene anyway. Long live Willie!
First off, Pat isn't signed to a Nashville label! He's signed to Republic/Universal- out of NYC, a ROCK label which Pat is it's first country act.
Secondly, sorry but his sound is getting to be the same old, same old sounding stuff. Starting to get hard to tell one song from another anymore. And nope- I won't pay full price for 1/2 a CD I already own. I do like the new cut Threadbare Gypsy Soul though, but think that's because Willie brings way more to the song than Pat.
Pat is not a "sell out" and everyone of us would do the same thing he has done given the opportunities.
I like this album, not every song but for the most part this album is Pure Pat....pure Texas...
best new Track: "We all got our reasons"
