Editorial Reviews

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2006 album ""CMon CMere"", Ohio native Patrick Sweany returns with a new set of rock n' soul numbers on ""Every Hour Is A Dollar Spent"". The album was engineered and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and features 11 new Sweany-penned tunes. The album was mastered by Paul Hamman, who, along with his legendary father Kenneth, was responsible for engineering classic albums by The James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. The combination of Auerbach and Hamman takes the new album away from the Southern roots sound of Sweany's previous releases and into the classic Rust Belt rock of the 70s. Add to this Sweany's tasteful guitar work and impressive vocals (that seem to get better with each recording), and you have an album that not only sounds gorgeous, but captures the energy of Sweanys riotous live sets.

Where did this guy come from? He might just be the next big thing after all. This album has a couple 5 star tracks, a couple 4 star tracks and fills the rest with 3s. Those 5s and 4s make this a must-buy for fans of the genre though. First of all there is the fantastic blues guitar plus Patrick has a great voice and great songwriting. He doesn't overuse sounds which makes the songs distinctive and gives the album nice variety.

If you are not familiar with his music I would listen to the song "Them Shoes" first. It's the one they play on Pandora a lot and for good reason. This one is fantastic. It's a total standout on the album but not because the rest of the album is lacking, just because it's SO FRIGGEN GOOD.

Secondly I would check out "Burma Jones" for some more excellent material. Those are my two "5 star" tracks from this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go see them live if you can, February 5, 2009

I saw these guys last night in Baltimore opening for the Black Keys and they were great. I'd heard a few of their songs on Pandora that I'd liked from this CD (especially Them Shoes), and after hearing them live came here to check out the CD. The tiny clips don't do the songs justice. I'm gonna buy this one and listen to it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously...where's this guy been hiding?, June 21, 2009

I listen to a lot of music and read a lot of reviews. Therefore I hear a lot of hype about people saying so and so is "the next big thing." At risk of being one of those people--THIS GUY is the next big thing. At least for my listening, this is it. Have it playing right now. Will be listening to it a year from now. New blues baby, I'm on board. (Great recording quality, too, for those hi-fi folks out there.)
