5.0 out of 5 stars Fully worth waiting for, April 9, 2007

Pat Macdonald, one of the now-solo halfs of Timbuk3, continues to create a deeply uncompromised music out of the idioms of the deadliest swamp blues, strained through a sharply agonized 21st century intelligence. Pat can't, won't let go of the pain, until it's time, if that time ever comes. This music was made like a Japanese samurai's sword - heated, bent, and folded, over and over, until it becomes as hard as it is supple. The edge of this music is razor-thin - three revenge songs from an collapsed marriage (according to the liner notes) - but Pat Macdonald had made an album about survival, not defeat. Not a bad song on it. Get it right now.

pat mAcdonald...yes, that's how he wants it spelled...is perhaps the most inviting and friendly person you would ever chance upon. That's exactly what happened to me this spring and I've got to say, what a gifted and genius man he is! The talent that flows so effortlessly from pat is truly unique in this otherwise patsy world. That he is'nt one of the great "known" talents is a joke...but I think maybe he wants it that way? Consider yourself very lucky to see him perform...it's rare and beautiful!

It is too bad that so many artists are afflicted with severe depression... too bad for THEM, that is. The rest of us are free to enjoy the fruits of their cynical genius. Pat Mac Donald is one such tortured soul.

Timbuk 3, his Austin, Texas-based combo, helped to keep me angry through the Reagan/Bush years. Now, from his new European home, he has done the same for the W years. Great music, scathing lyrics and a window into a sharp, yet tormented mind. My idea of a great album!
