Synopsis

Product Description
The blues, as Pat Wictor sees it, is a huge river, much broader and deeper than a 12-bar form, a customary set of chord changes, and foot-stomping rhythms. The blues has a spiritual element--it is music that emanates from the crossroads of suffering and transcendence. The songs on Pat Wictor's fifth CD find beauty and poetry at that crossroads, and explore in a variety of ways the tension between the difficulties of life and the yearning of the heart for something better.
 

CD Reviews

Wonderful
Sam Love | NJ USA | 08/06/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This guy really has a fresh old sound that is absolutely delightful. He has an incredible ear for material. I sometimes imagine another folk boom as younger people who still have their hearing crave something real. Pat is the real thing and this CD is one of his best yet and that is saying a lot because I loved "Wade in the Water". All I can say about "Heaven is So High..." is buy it. Your ears will thank you."
