@DEEP BLUES FESTIVAL 2008:

THE LEGENDARY SONS OF CRACK DANIELS, Steel Bridge 2008, Red Room:


"In the interstellar desert there is a milky way bone man navigating a highway that does not exist. He speaks with a searing harmonica, setting the guitar lines on fire like the yellow breaks separating the highway at dusk as they pass in a rhythm of 33 and a 3rd, boot heels on the floorboards of a haunted car..." -EXOTIC UNDERGROUND (SEATTLE)

"A fuzzed-out, gut-thwack of a show" -MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

“Lowdown, swampy, sexy, menacing…” –AUSTIN CHRONCLE

"MacDonalds ability to craft wry paeans to dislocation and disappointment and put them inside catchy, often upbeat tunes makes him one of rock musics enduring, well-kept secrets. There are very few people out there who have the longevity and still possess the kind of brilliant power he does." -PORTLAND TRIBUNE

"I've always been drawn to the lower notes on the guitar," says Macdonald when questioned about his sound. His trademark is a unique dirtch of dark and murky blues boogie and sex-swamp. He is the epitome of an old school one man show with his custom made boot stomp box, electric semi-hollow guitar and a voice that is at once angelic and evil...

The production aids in this definition of mood and Pat's records have the added blessing of John Parish (P.J. Harvey, Eels, Sparklehorse) as producer and sometimes player on his studio ventures...

Pat has the salt and pause of an elder statesmen when he speaks about his philosophy of music and life. When asked about his denial of over a million dollars in advertising, he makes a point to state that his own opinions on the subject should never condemn anyone else in their choices. "Everyone has to find their comfort zone," he says, "Music adds magic to a product being sold, but for me, (the product) robs magic from the music. I made a promise to myself a long time ago. It's good to keep promises you make to yourself." -Jason Broome, PERFORMERMAG.COM
