Pat McLaughlin – Nashville After Dark [CD]

Pat McLaughlin is a maverick. A revered, if a bit enigma, Singer-Songwriter and guitarist that has spent years honing his layered style. Dedicated only to the pursuit of a new groove or an old feeling, his songs rehash the sights and the sounds of a reformed nomad with roots in Iowa State, footprints in San Francisco, New Orleans and Chicago and a home in Nashville. He possesses a voice that makes him a soul singer, a blues singer, a rock singer he embodies everything in himself, in his powerful vocal style and percussive, groovy, guitar strumming. Not surprisingly, Rolling Stone called Pat a tasty, rootsy gem. Nashville A?er Dark was recorded at Third and Lindsley in Nashville in September 2018 with a stellar band composed of Kenny Greenberg on lead guitar, Michael Rhodes on bass and Greg Morrow on drums. These guys are masters of the instrument they choose to play and propel Pats vocals and Telecaster into a captivating musical journey like theres no tomorrow. “No one since Dan Penn has better mixed ’60s soul idioms with country music sentiment,” proclaimed the Chicago Sun-Times. “Pat McLaughlin is an American treasure.” In fact he prompted the Tennessean’s Peter Cooper to spout poetry: “Groove and soul, slink and stutter, groove and soul, wisdom and pain, groove and soul.”1.
