patrick park - loneliness knows my name [2003]

sorry for the silence...it's been a crazy couple of weeks. it ain't over yet. i probably shouldn't even post this as my last final of the summer is looming large over my head. oh well, my brain needs a small release and this'll do. economics is driving me crazy. i can see why musicians enjoy living such free lives. stupid school. [apology for the rant]

here's an album i've been enjoying quite a little bit lately. patrick park has a nice songwriting ability (as some of you probably heard on the best of summer post). this is his first major release and i must admit, i was a little disheartened [pissed actually] that i hadn't heard of him sooner. his music fits right into the style that is tickling my fancy right now (i.e. ryan adams, ryan adams, ryan adams, etc.). this album makes great use of strings, slide guitar, harmonica, pan flute and even brass intruments! great job patrick...also, he released an album just last year so if you enjoy this 'un, drop me a line for the new one as well. since i already posted "something pretty" on best of summer i'll post two other yummies. love.
