Pat Dailey is one of the finest songwriters in America today - period. He's been called the "Jimmy Buffett of the Great Lakes" and I don't even think that does him justice. I was somewhat upset to see the tag "explicit lyrics" adhered to this title. Don't get me wrong: Pat writes some of the best "adult" songs available, but he balances them with heart-wrenching ballads sure to bring a tear to your eye. On "Great American Saturday Night" you will find "Father's Last Words" a song from a dying father advising his sons to accept sex whenever it's offered. You will marvel at the internal rhyme and laugh out loud (even if you're a bit "prudish") at the imagery. But then listen to "Dressed Again" - a simple song about how a man feels watching as his lover leaves their bed and dresses for the day. It will leave you breathless.

There is only one thing better than a Pat Dailey record and that's seeing him live in Put-in-Bay, Ohio or in Key West. But unless you've got a vacation planned - you should get this record. Heck, you should actually buy it.... I buy a lot of records and I see a lot of performers. Give Pat a listen - You will not be let down....

This CD is the ultimate mix of Pat's serious and fun sides. While his last CD was all fun with no serious material, this song has a nice blend of both (with the majority of the songs are fun).

I recently had the chance to enjoy one of Pat's live concerts at the Beer Barrel in Put-In-Bay, OH. It was easily the best concert I've ever seen. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time and I look forward to someday going back to see Pat live at the Beer Barrel. While this CD is exceptional, I reccommend going to see Pat live if you ever get the chance. His CDs don't quite capture the energy and atmosphere of his concerts.

Of course this is five stars it's Pat Dailey!!! What else can I say? If you like Pat Dailey buy this it's great.

Really, most of us want to be bad. And Pat Dailey gives us permission -- even if only by appreciating his music celebrating drinking, sex, fishing, sex, lying . . . you get the picture. Dailey is a naughty balladeer: cross Willy Nelson with John Denver doing R-rated subject matter. And that doesn't do the man justice. He's unique, a one-of-a-kind bar poet of the heart and hormones, and a terrific guitar player as well. If you hear the man live and have had a few brews, you feel like you could be as sleezy as he pretends to be --whether you are 19 or 69. Listening to a CD is the next best thing--crank it up! I have most of his stuff and this is my favorite.

I have recently purchased this CD after attending one of Mr. Dailey's shows. This CD has it all, some of the songs are really funny and then there are some that are just plain awesome. He is a wonderfully talented song-writer singer who captures so much of himself in his work. I especially liked "Dressed Again" and I can't think of any woman who wouldn"t, it is a very sensitive love song with real feeling and heart. "Up Here in the North" is another great song. It is definately worth a listen and you too will become a fan! His live shows are amazing..and I hear he is coming out with a children's album..can't wait.

Brilliant lyrics for the uninhibited bar song listener. Real Pat Dailey Fans will sing along with nearly every song and relive a performance they have had the good fortune to attend. It's a bonus when we catch his gigs on the North Coast of Ohio in addition to Put-in-Bay and Key West so his CD's get us through the winter!
