I have listened to the latest in PT's release pattern this one is titled PT POWER TRIO 2 and it really rocks. pat seems inspired, nice selections from 60's and 70's. people in their mid 40's on up will appreciate this more than some of the youth of today. this release is a great beginning for kids to hear and then go back to the originals. pat has done all of the songs justice while making them his own. I have been critical of pat's releases because of his lack of original songs but in all due respect to his talent, he seems to have gone back to his youth. he plays with renewed fervor. musicianship is top notch and this makes the listener feel good inside. its seems pat is releasing lots of material and that is a good thing-lets hope his search to his roots brings more original songs for young and old alike.

WOW! Boy does this guy still know how to rip it up.

All covers this time out. From "Green Eyed Lady" to "You Are The Music", there is nothing but a good time to be had by all.

Pat once again makes these cover tunes all his own, putting a fresh spin on some well known classics. I mean my God, he covers Queen & Led Zeppelin on the same disc. How cool is that..

Fans looking for original material, check out PT=MC2 from 2005. Also very good.

Fans craving even more Pat Travers doing cover tunes, check out PT Power Trio, Don't Feed The Alligators, Blues Tracks, and Blues Tracks 2....Rock On!!!!

ps -catch this guy live if you can as PT live is even better than PT on CD. :)

Rocks solid from start to finish. Every song's a keeper, and not a sleeper in the bunch. Hope Pat keeps crankin' 'em out like this one. Let's have more!

This guy just keeps getting better and better. I've been listening to P.T. since his "Boom Boom" heyday of the late 1970s, but the polished music Travers is making today almost defies description. Playing all styles with heartfelt depth and emotion, his cover of Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" is something to behold. A talented (and vastly underrated) song writer, Travers' ability to take his listeners on a fun filled trip is simply beyond reproach. Shredding better than ever, Pat Travers is the music industry's best kept secret.

I was driving while playing this album and thought....This sounds alot like Ten Years Later cd.The songs move quickly {exept for one} and vocals are crisp and clear.I think Pat should stick to other peoples song because he's just better.Don't get me wrong he's a gifted guitar player but if you listen to this album you will play it more than his other stuff.I love this album!

A few good tunes:
Track 1, You are the Music (yeah! who wrote this smokin thang?)
Track 5, Green Eyed Lady (good except for a few mindless atonal licks)
Track 7, GFR's Aimless Lady (really good)
Track 10, Bad Co's Ready For Love (OK...just OK)
Track 13, Queen's Keep Yourself Alive (good guitar & trading vocals)

But the other tracks are just old-school rough'n'raspy standards, un-creative and featureless. The drummer has quite an unusual high-range voice; he could grab some attention in future efforts, with or without PT. One tune I just cannot stand, "Swlabr". The title clues you that this one is incomprehensible. And it surely is. Overall, I liked the first PT Power Trio better. This is an average effort.

REALLY DONT KNOW WHY I BOUGHT THIS CD. THE REVIEWS WERE TOTALLY OFF BASE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN P.T. UNPLUGGED! NO POWER IN THESE CUTS PERIOD. BETTER TO DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINALS. EVERY CUT SOUNDS THE SAME. POOR ENGINEERING, LEAD, BASS AND DRUMS. YOU WANT POWER BLUES/ROCK GO FOR INDIGENOUS, ERIC GALES, EVEN LESLIE WEST OR RORY GALLAGER. PUT THIS LAST ON YOUR LIST.
