Pat Boyack - 2 albums: On The Prowl / Voices From The Street

Like so many guitarists of his generation, Pat Boyack traced his initial fascination with the blues back to his early admiration of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Born June 26, 1967 in Helper, Utah, Boyack's tastes as a teen originally ran more along the lines of Van Halen and Kiss, but soon he became so immersed in the contemporary Texas blues sound that he eventually relocated to Dallas to pursue a musical career of his own. In 1993, he relocated to the Phoenix area, where he formed the bar band Rocket 88s with vocalist/harpist Jimmy Morello; after the group dissolved, Boyack returned to Dallas, where he eventually formed the blues-rock unit the Prowlers with bassist John Garza and drummer Doug Swancy. After issuing their debut effort Armed and Dangerous in 1993, the Prowlers welcomed Morello into their ranks, and Breakin' In followed in late 1994. After 1996's On the Prowl, the band fell apart, and Boyack assembled a new supporting cast for his 1997 solo debut, Super Blue and Funky. ~bio by Jason Ankeny

Notes: Boyack grew up in a coal-mining family in Utah and began playing guitar at 15. Graduating from Utah State University with a degree in music, he moved to the Dallas-Ft Worth area in 1991, joined the blues scene and, in 1993, formed The prowlers with John Garza and Doug Swancy, adding Jimmy Morello the following year as vocalist. For the last few years he has played with Marcia Ball.

'...Pat Boyack shows up with a new and different sound from his previous efforts on this, his third album for the Bullseye Blues label. When the nucleus of the Prowlers fell apart after the release of their second album, 'On the Prowl', it left Boyack without a band. But producer Mark Kazanoff encouraged him to keep honing his craft, and the result is a disc that shows much growth, both in the writing and the playing. Boyack penned ten of the 14 songs on this, and catchy numbers like 'I'll Be the Joker' and the two ballads, 'Sweet Redemption' and 'Why Must I Suffer?' show a real maturation of his tunesmithing skills. Departing vocalist Jimmy Morello is ably replaced by new singer Spencer Thomas, who brings a mellower and more relaxed feel to the band on tracks like 'Think (Before You Do)', Jimmy Nolan's 'The Way You Do' and 'Can't You See'. W.C. Clark also contributes guest vocals on two tracks while Boyack literally blazes on guitar showcases like 'Poppa Stoppa', 'Mexican Vodka' and his own 'Longwallin''. With great tunes, solid playing and crisp production all in place, this is Boyack's most realized effort to date...' - by Cub Koda.
