Post Description

Pat Thomas hails from Leland, Missisippi. That's on Highway 61 south of Clarksdale between Greenville and Indianola. His pop was the late artist/musician James "Son" Thomas. Pat, an artist/musician like his father, has a lovely soulful high lonesome voice that sails somewhere near Skip James at times and falls to John Lee Hooker's earth at others. Mr. Thomas has a fine, thoughtful, economic, and powerful acoustic guitar sound (though he plays electric on two tracks on His Father's Son). Although most of Pat's repertoire comes from songs he heard his father play, he makes each song his own. Songs on this new set range from the haunting Cairo Blues to the joyous instrumental romp of Leland's Burning Down to the moving Rainbow At Midnight. Recorded beautifully by Bill Abel whose recordings somehow bring you right in to the room this is another (as they all are) Must Own release by Broke and Hungry Records.
