Troubadour of Stomp* "A dozen brazen new songs, packed with MacDonald’s lusty, low-end guitars, stormy harmonica and falsetto singing. And some of the best wordplay in American music." -NO DEPRESSION “mAcdonald leads listeners to a strange backwoods delta that isn’t on any maps, where he fervently summons the authentic afterlife of rock music.” -Milwaukee SHEPHERD-EXPRESS “There is a ghostly presence in Pat MacDonald's music. A spirit that is eerie, remote and yet completely captivating.” -Charleston POST AND COURIER “Like some kind of dark collision of metal and swamp blues... This startlingly original album may not be for everyone, but it certainly establishes MacDonald as a true enigma.” -ALLMUSIC GUIDE Enough? No? Ok... More Embarrassingly Flattering Quotes: "Aside from being one of the great lyricists in the English language, he is a totally unique voice... I saw him play a little gig in a Spanish bar in the Pyrenees. These people had no way of knowing how good the lyrics were because they didn't speak any English at all. He got going with his stomp board and playing his guitar And it was just so hip. It was so driving that they just turned on the strobe light and started dancing." -Jackson Browne, in NO DEPRESSION “His riveting set was everything rock and roll should be, as life-affirming and magical and real as any number of rock luminaries that shaped my own personal fanaticism from age 11 forward." -Don Baird, SF BAY TIMES “A fuzzed-out, gut thwack of a show” -MILWAUKEE JOURNAL "Onstage, MacDonald is ripping through his first and only set of nearly four hours of music. His words crack your heart. His stomp board thwacks your head… Long past midnight, he rages into a cover of Ring Of Fire, which he smashes like a highball glass against a wall of bricks." -Andy Moore, NO DEPRESSION “MacDonalds ability to craft wry paeans to dislocation and disappointment and put them inside catchy, often upbeat tunes makes him one of rock musics enduring, well-kept secrets. There are very few people out there who have the longevity and still possess the kind of brilliant power he does.” -PORTLAND TRIBUNE “Underneath his gritty primitivism lie the keen wit and askew observations of a man who can't, or won't, turn off his mind.” -MILWAUKEE JOURNAL/SENTINEL *Cover art by Tiffany Travalent, photo by Doug Manelski. http://www.nodepression.net/issues/nd67/index.htmlhttp://shepherd-express.com/1editorialbody.lasso?-token.folder=2007-12-06&-token.story=179114.113121&-token.subpubhttp://www.charleston.net/news/2007/dec/13/mblu24821/http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,3856852,00.htmlhttp://www.nodepression.net/issues/nd67/index.htmlhttp://www.sfbaytimes.com/index.php?sec=article&article_id=3986http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=338227http://www.nodepression.net/issues/nd67/index.htmlhttp://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=708159http://www.myspace.com/art_of_tiffanyhttp://dougmanelski.com/shapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3shapeimage_1_link_4shapeimage_1_link_5shapeimage_1_link_6shapeimage_1_link_7shapeimage_1_link_8shapeimage_1_link_9shapeimage_1_link_10
