Pat Travers
The Art of Time Travel
Review by Gary Hill
Pat Travers was one of the rock gods of the 1970s. It's great to see him still making music in the 21st Century. This album feels a lot like the kind of thing he was known for doing in those heady days of the 70s. There is a nice mix of sounds from bluesy rockers to near metal, soulful sounds and more. There are two instrumentals here, and every song is effective. There are some that really land in the sublime category. If you dig the classic guitar rock sounds, you are likely to enjoy this. You just don't get much better than Travers, really. I guess this album does have a component of time travel to it because it feels like a lost treasure of a previous decade, other than some of the lyrical themes.
