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.
