Travers cites his influences as Hendrix, Page, Clapton and Beck. That could sum up his sound. Excellent rock
guitarist. Up there with Johnny Winter which some of this reminds me of. Not much of a vocalist in my view. Three
tracks here left me flat, with one great one in Dedication. This is Pat's third album and the guy's still goin'.
Showing an album in 2010. Gettin' Betta and Life In London were released as singles from here, with neither
charting, but the album reached #70. Pat's peak popularity here would come a few albums later, and a quick decline
thereafter. He may have done better in his native Canada, but not sure about that. We need some Canadian expert
here. Who would that be?

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Off Beat Ride

Best Track - Dedication

this one is dedicated to the people who,
helped me make a stand,helped me make it through...
and everybody's got at least one
friend to lend a hand,and baby if you can't see that,
well you just dont understand,you just dont
understand..
so forget all the suspicion,
the foolish,selfish pride,
you got to reach down deeper for good,
you give so much a try,
and you know that is a good habit,
and once you really try,and you stand up to the top,
with a close friend by your side...lonliness is gone, yeh,yeh,

try to be ,one of those people,who can understand,
when life is never been easy,
I try to take people by the hand..
you know that i never been religious,
but it seems so bit of me..
if we could do just a little more,
means so much to me

R.E.M "out of time",cd,

not much to say about this one only that it is a true classic...
eleven absolute classics on this one...out if eleven tracks!, so seven get a love rating for me here, the other four just missout and get a like rating, although for most other groups at the time, the four likes would have been loves....a testament to the quality of early REM albums.

rating: 2.6
