When I met Patrick he was wearing a black t-shirt shirt that said, "We don't pee in your pool, stop eating animals." Little did I know that we would spend the next several years together writing music, playing shows, and protesting.
When Patrick joined my old band The Cause it was clear we had a lot in common. Six years later, with shared triumphs and disappointments behind us, Patrick has moved on to play country music with his band the Western Set, and still gets together with me to indulge in our new zombie apocalypse band Destroy the Dead (more on this in the future).
When we get together to write songs and record, I often send him home with a couple new things to listen to. Either I burn him some stuff that I have files of, or just give him the cds altogether.
Since my cd collection has grown to over 2,000 albums, I have no problem handing things over for other people to enjoy, especially since I've got everything on file as mp3s and saved on backup external drives. You will see 90% of these records passed along over time; sometimes in large groups and at other times parceled out as they are here.
These first two are the available albums by Chuck Ragan, primary vocalist of the band Hot Water Music. Ragan's style is honest and timeless, just as any good friendship should be, which makes Patrick the perfect fit for these.
