A superstar in his home state of Texas and a cult hero elsewhere, singer and songwriter
Pat Green goes back to basics on his 12th studio album, 2015's
Home.
Green's first album of new material since breaking ties with BNA Records,
Home was recorded without the input of a record company, and finds the country star recording with his road band instead of studio pickers, giving the material a warmth and immediacy that should remind fans of
Green's fabled live shows.
Home also finds
Green sharing the microphone with some famous and talented friends; fellow Texas tunesmith
Lyle Lovett duets with
Green on "Girls from Texas" (already a radio hit in the Lone Star State before the album was released), while
Sheryl Crow and
Delbert McClinton also contribute guest vocals. ~ Mark Deming
