By A. Gammill VINE VOICE on January 28, 2009
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
While listening to Pat Green's latest CD, it occurred to me that there are two kinds of Pat Green fans: those who've been with him since his independent-label days, and long for him to return to the kind of Texas bar anthems of that period; and there are those who discovered him in 2003, when "Wave On Wave" swept the CMT airwaves.

If you accept the above premise, you might find yourself confused as to just who this album is aimed at. On the one hand, it's got the more polished, radio-ready country/rock that characterized Green's last couple of albums. But the rowdy old Pat Green shines through occasionally, admitting (in the disc's lead single "Footsteps of Our Fathers") "I'm making this sh** up as I go." The album also offers up a totally unnecessary remake of his 2000 single "Carry On," which lacks the youthful energy and carefree vibe of the original, and risks alienating hardcore fans by replacing the line "Come down to Texas and drink with me awhile" with "Come on over and drink with me awhile."

While these will seem like minor quibbles to most folks, I thought I would point them out for those who might care. Meanwhile, musically, WHAT I'M FOR is actually a very solid production. Green has always seemed most comfortable with mid-tempo roots-rock guitar numbers, and these form the core of about half the songs here.

Green has also typically surrounded himself with talented songwriters--though he's no slouch with the pen & paper himself. The Brad Paisley-ish "Country Star" name-drops all the big modern country heroes, while Green's hardcore fans (myself included) secretly hope he'll never completely forsake his roots and join such an elite club.

Sorry to disagree with some other reviewers, but having enjoyed some of Pat Green's earlier work, I think this is an over-produced product aimed at the mass market...strictly commercialized noise. IMHO this is why Green hasn't really made it to a wider CW audience, i.e., he has raised anchor and is adrift. He needs to take a look at other successful folks like Strait, Jackson, and others. They started with a solid foundation and built on it. Green reminds me of the ball in a pin ball machine who keeps bouncing from one point to another, with no good purpose and no point of reference.
I saw Green at our state fair where it was just him and some guy on guitar. Great...better than a lot of full concerts I've attended. There's a message in there for Green. Music, yes. Noise, no.

The song writing on this CD is as good as anything he's done. But...and its a big but...ditch the electronic fiddles, amplified drums, and the rest of the noise and make music instead of racket.

This will be the last new Pat Green CD's I will be buying...been burned too many times now with these recent releases.

It is apparent Pat Green has sold out to Nashville. This album sounds like a cross somewhere between Rascal Flatts and Phil Vassar,not "the" Pat Green I know from George's Bar,Southbound 35,Songs About Texas or the OLD Carry On--"Come on down to Texas and drink with me a while".

This album is way too polished, over produced. It is made too appeal to the mass market. If Pat wants to set his career on fire he should just make a duet with Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift--she seems to be the hottest thing these days, if selling out to Nashville isn't enough. I find it hard to listen to the old Pat Green music now. Pat should look to George Strait on how to make it in Nashville while staying true to his roots. This album sounds just like all the other pop passing for country coming out of Nashville.
Hey Pat enjoy Nashville, but don't mess with Texas.

There's a feeling you get...a feeling I used to get while listening to Pat Green, of feeling your body actually get lighter and tingly all over with happiness. You know and feel the lyrics, and you can tell the singer feels them too. You just feel elevated in a way, and you sing along. That's how I used to feel about Pat Green. Just not with this CD.

Don't get me wrong, I used to love Pat Green's music, and still do. When I was 13, Pat Green was the first concert I ever went to, and Pat's music was solid and strong. You really felt every song he sang, right down into your bones. Wave on Wave remains one of my favorite songs, and feels heartfelt. My favorite author, Mr. Stephen King couldn't put my thoughts about it better than he did in his favorite songs list, "You can't not love a song about the power of love and redemption." King has good music taste, I guess!! All this being said, I was very, very excited for the release of What I'm For, as were my parents, as we've bought all Pat Green's music over the years. Turns out, we only enjoyed one song on this album. Let Me, the first single, was good. Otherwise, I am very unimpressed with what Pat Green proclaimed would be his best album.

What I'm For is his worst album.

The songs are corny, and felt to me like a backround music. I didn't have a reason to listen or care or WANT to sing the lyrics. This seems to me like some overproduced songs mixed with Pat's musings on wanting to become "a big country star." Indeed, one of the songs on here is devoted entirely to this point, and it makes me cringe to listen to it. What I'm For feels like a corny sell out to me. It's a sell out to long term fans, who just want heartfelt music of the type that Pat used to make.
