Scott, I agree with you, partly. His albums are getting better with each release, as well is his songwriting. Maybe all you do is dance, drink, party and women, I'm interested in a little more. Are you in a frat or in high school, nothing being wrong with either! It would explain the partying mentality. You're right, his songs are about Texas. The only problem is that that's all that his songs (at least his older ones) are about and a lot of the newer writers are like that! Anyone with a small amount of talent could write songs the same way. Anyway, I do believe that he's improved!
I dont know who these TXCritic guys are. But I LOVE PAT GREEN! I love his lyrics. Its all about everyday Texas stuff. And he sings about what we all do, drinkin beer, country dancin, and ofcourse woman! I think he gets better and better, on his albums and his performances!
songs we wished we wrote was a great album. what took so long to make an album with corey. texas on my mind is a great song the whole album is good.
Oh, Yeah. I don't mean to come across as someone very deep. I'm not one of those hippie philosophers that sit around all day stoned and contemplate the meaning of life. I'm just very picky when it comes to music.
First of all Tempo, everyone has different tastes. I, for one, just don't care much for Pat Green. That doesn't mean that I think someone is wrong for liking his music. As I said, I do see major improvements in his latest album. As far as who I consider to be extremely talented songwriters, there are the obvious picks such as Willie Nelson and Guy Clark. But, as far as newer talent, really listen to Bruce Robison's, Jack Ingram's, and Robert Earl Keen's songs. The majority of their songs say so much more than many of the other artists. I also believe that Todd Snider and Chris Knight are very talented songwriters. Granted, their shows don't produce the same type of crowd that some of the other's do. But, for someone who actually likes to listen to music and lyrics, I think their shows are great, especially in smaller venues. Anyway, I am not saying that my opinions are right or wrong. They are just opinions. Artists such as Pat Green and Roger Creager are doing something right because they are selling albums and bringing in large crowds at shows. But, so does Tim McGraw!
Just wanted to know who TXMUSICCRITIC's picks are for the most talented writers are; if he/she has that kind of depth
Pat Green's music can be summed up in the majority of these reviews; Drinking and Texas! Don't get me wrong, you will never find a prouder Texan than I, but not every song needs to be written about it. His first 2 albums were full of drinking and name-dropping. Any person with a small amount of talent can write songs like these. I have noticed that he seems to be maturing a little with his latest album. These songs actually have some meaning! But Pat Green, like Roger Creager, are good performers and they get the fans into their shows. I have also noticed that the crowd that he draws represents the songs that he writes, high schoolers and frat boys (not much substance there either). He and Creager are to TX Music what N'Sync and 98 Degrees are to pop. Great shows, songs are all the same. Like I said, I do see some improvement on Green's latest album. I don't think that either of these artists will ever have the talent that Keen, Ingram, or the Robison's have, or even Cory Morrow whose songs seem to be pretty well written. I think that this "TX Frat music" is just a phase and when it's over, only the most talented writers will be left standing!
Pat's the shit, that's all I can say.
Pat Green is one of the greatest Texas Counrty Artist. He is paving the way for new Texas Counrty Artist. I love all of Pat Green's songs, there isn't one that I don't like.
