Pat Green is simply the best. "Three Days" may be his first album with a record label, but for me it is just the latest of many great albums, and I hope the tradition continues. I've been hooked since I heard "Dancehall Dreamer" way back in '96, and I've always wondered why Pat wasn't a big star, well now I know he's on his way. The re-release of "Southbound 35"(my favorite song from the first time I heard it), with its new music, has helped me believe that the new record deal will only allow Pat's music to get better and better. The duets with Willie Nelson and Trish Murphy, as well as "Texas On My Mind" give me goosebumps, and help restore my faith that country music hasn't gone pop. Pat writes and sings with his soul, he lays it all out on the table and lets the people feel what he feels. I'm forever grateful to have grown up in Waco, where I had a chance to hear Pat and love his music. So Pat, if you ever read this, you've got a fan for life. I know I speak for all the others when I say I wish you the best, and whether you draw 50 or 50,000, I'll be there. Carry on my friend, carry on.

A great CD for any occasion. A CD that can be put in your car for a long road trip and listened to over and over again. The positive outlook on life that exemplifies Pat Green and his songwriting talent are evident. This CD succeeds in representing what Texas music is all about. The song "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" is a duet with the great Willie Nelson, one of Pat's heroes. The title track is a great song that speaks to anyone that has ever had to be away from the one that they care about most. This song strikes a chord with those that have gone through a long distance relationship. This CD combines the songs that were only available locally with the 6 new songs that show Pat's continuing growth as a songwriter. I highly recommend this CD to anyone that is looking to find what country music is supposed to sound like. One of the best CD's that I have heard in a long time.

Being a long time Pat Green fan, word of his new "Nashville" contract kinda worried me. But I kept the faith, and Pat has not let me or his dozens :) of fans down. This new album completely rocks. It contains seven songs that long time fans would already know and might question their re-release. However, Pat has put together new arrangements of all of them, and I think they're all better than the originals. The most surprising one to me was the all-new Southbound 35 (number 12 on the new cd). This has always been my favorite Pat song, and has been renewed due to it's revamped rockin' style. A new favorite (running a close second behind Southbound) is Threadbare Gypsy Soul (number two on the new cd), a duet with the legendary Willie Nelson. This song is pure Texas Country. Nice and mellow, and classic Pat Green. Pat said he wrote this one while thinkin about Willie's shoes and all they had seen and the places they had been. VERY COOL! That's about it for my review. For all those old Pat friends, the new one is just as good, if not BETTER than all of his other cds. For those who don't yet know about Pat, get this cd and you will soon understand. WATCH OUT NASHVILLE, HERE COMES TEXAS!

I bought this CD because I loved the toe-tappin' "Carry On". I did not realize Pat Green was HUGE in Texas - I thought he was brand new. These songs are all fresh to my ears and a welcome break from the 'stuff' on the radio today.

The moods range from the mellow "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" (a duet with Willie Nelson) to the kick-butt rocker "Southbound 35" to the inspirational bluegrass song "Count Your Blessings". The ode to his home state "Texas on My Mind" is great. My favorite songs are "Three Days", it features some incredible fiddle work, and the lyrics are sweet on "We've All Got Our Reasons".

This CD is one I can listen to over and over again. Pat Green pulls no punches on his CD and it is refreshing!

I saw "Carry On" on CMT and wondered who this guy was. What a great song - I've never heard this guy on the radio. Doesn't seem like the radio stations in the Northeast have any idea either. If you like true country music, you will love this album. It's fantastic - I'm having a hard time these days not listening to this CD. It beats the overplayed radio songs any day. I'm hoping Nashville will help Pat Green makes his way North to the rest of us!

As a non-native of Texas, I'd never heard of Pat Green until he released "Carry On", the first song on this amazing album. The song is about going through life, and...Well, carrying on!
The rest of the album is as great as the first single. "Threadbare Gypsy Soul", while having a strange title, is a nice duet with Willie Nelson. "Three Days" is a nice, guitar-honed ballad, while "Who's To Say" will get you dancin' and put you in a good mood ('Who's to say/Who are you to judge me anyway/This is my road/I take the corners fast as I can go'). "Gallerywinter" and "Wrong Side of Town" (a duet with Trish Murphy) will delight Charlie Robison fans (as I am). "We've All Got Our Reasons" puts Green back in the mainstream country area, as does "Whiskey." "Crazy" looks at life through happy eyes--maybe those of young lovers, or just an upbeat, optimistic person. "Take Me Out To a Dancehall" is coutnry all the way, while "Count Your Blessing" (It's a hush my mouth/Land sake alive/I don't believe that fishermen smell the same when they die/Never put the cart before the horse/Unless he know's how to push it of course) borders on bluegrass, without going all the way. "Southbound 65" is a rockin' good song, filled with enough electric guitar to make you forget about the lack of it on "Count Your Blessings." The final song, "Texas On My Mind," sounds like it was made to be a radio hit. All of the songs on here have the potential to propel Green into superstar status. And don't forget about his songwriting--Green's right up there with the greatest singer/songwriters. Maybe he's the new singer/songwriter for the 21st century. Whatever he is or isn't, Pat Green IS a great country act, and you'll love his debut CD, "Three Days."

I've never been a big fan of country music until I saw Pat Green perform live. This is a great album that's different from the country that's been coming out of Nashville the past few years. This is true Texas Country not some attempt at turning Country into Pop.

Not just country music, but all music, doesn't get any better than this Pat Green CD! It's hard to say which is my favorite track, because they are all excellent and it really depends on my mood when I'm listening. "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" with Willie Nelson stands out, especially when I'm driving along deserted desert roads and don't want the road to end. "Carry On" and the title track "Just Three Days" are also stand-outs. Commercial country radio doesn't know how to program for great artists like Pat Green. I recommend all of Pat's indie albums, including a wonderful collaboration with Cory Morrow called "Songs We Wish We'd Written."

I've been a Pat Green fan for about a year now, ever since a friend saw him live and got some of his indy albums, and I've been a huge fan ever since. His carefree lyrics and mix of rock n' roll with Jerry Jeff style Texas country make for perfect road-trippin music. Pat truly knows how to write a great country song. Most of these songs come straight off of his earlier work but the new songs are also great as well. Highlights include "Carry On", the title track, "Whisky", "Southbound 35", and "Take Me Out to a Dancehall" and the amazing duet with Willie Nelson, "Threadbare Gypsy Soul". If you're a fan of artists such as Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon, Willie, and more recently, Charlie Robison, this is the perfect CD. Pat is one of the last true "outlaws" of country music. I can't wait to see him at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth in January. Go get this now!!!

This CD has some great music, and Pat's voice is so unique, however, the lyrics...well they get old. It almost sounds like the same song being sung 10 times. There are only so many drinking songs I can listen to before I reach for something else.
