Music reviews of What I'm For
Music Review: Mixed feelings
Rating: 3 Stars
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. The title track, in which Green lays out all he holds dear, stands quietly in defiance of modern real-world cynicism.
No matter which kind of Pat Green fan you are, you're bound to find some good and bad here. At under 40 minutes, it's a lean batch of country/rock that doesn't wear out its welcome. Despite a sizable following and sold-out shows, Green has yet to become a household name. And for better or worse, WHAT I'M FOR will probably keep him right where he is.
