Search - Pat Burtis :: Clarify

The album opens with a bang, led by the title track Clarify, "a perfect modern pop tune," according to one critic. From there the album slides and shimmies from the Americana-esque twang of 'Archipelago of Main Street' to the Nashville tinged 'Everything & More.' Burtis is adept at a number of styles, and he moves easily between rock, pop, folk, and even some country and rockabilly. What holds the album together is the integrity of the lyrics. A former fiction writer, Burtis paints vivid pictures and digs into moments that most songwriters wouldn't dare to touch. If you're looking for intelligent, even intellectual rock/folk, with a sense of humor and a driving groove, this is your album, from a true independent artist.
