I FELL IN LOVE WITH "YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL" and searched & searched all over for the song & the CD. Pat McGuire is FABULOUS. I love the Big Brown Sofa CD & thanks to CD Baby for having it. I hope Pat McGuire plays in the New York area soon because I would love to hear him in person.

    author: shane

    I heard the Pat McGuire Band when they were an opening act at a small club in Alexandria, Virginia, right after this CD was released. True love at first sound -- I can't even remember the main act, but I bought this CD that night! When I lost it during a move, I was afraid I'd never hear it again... Thanks CD Baby for carrying GREAT bands!!

  • WONDEFUL - Magical Voice, Great Music
    author: Wendy, OH

    I was soooo happy to find another album by Pat. This one is rather mellow with thought provoking lyrics. It really allows you to hear Pat's magical voice. I love it!

  • Fabulous song, fabulous singer
    author: JT

    First heard You're So Beautiful in the movie "Southie." Had a hard time finding this CD, and I love every song on it. Plus CD Baby's customer service is terrific: fast and accurate. I am eager for them to get Pat McGuire's other CDs so I can order them.

  • Listen to it all the time!
    author: Lauren

    I started listening to The Pat McGuire Band in college about 6 or 7 years ago. His hit song, You're So Beautiful became our class theme song. We played it at every function, and asked every DJ to play it when we went out! Now that I have the entire CD, I love every song!

  • Excellent
    author: Aleese

    My sister is the one u bought this CD first and played it around the house, then my dad wanted it, and then i wanted one for my car too. We all love the CD, and they play the song you're so beautiful at the bars and it always gets us singing and dancing. I will definately be buying the next CD of his that comes out! Keep up the good work

  • Awesome!
    author: Shari

    Love The Pat McGuire Band! I always go to see them when they play in Long Beach and they never disappoint.

  • Awesome Band
    author: DJ Bobby B

    Just saw PMD play at O'Neils Pub in Tannersville, NY/ Catskill Mountain, As a DJ I was blown away by this band and just had to buy this CD. You're so beautiful is totally awesome.

    author: timmy o'brien

    Great cd in all aspects !

  • I had to order it twice
    author: Karen

    I have been singing the songs from this cd for years. Going to see Pat play on Tuesdays at Rocky's was the highlight of my week. I had Big Brown Sofa and played it so much it finally got one too many scratches. I have a six year old -- what can I tell you? So, I received my second cd the other day and have been getting my fix to make up for the time without ever since.

  • What a great cd!!
    author: Stephanie

    What a great cd!! All my friends want it now too!

  • author: Dana

    Awesome CD. Bought the CD just for the song "You're so beautiful" The rest of the CD is just as great! Thanks PMG for great music!

  • A captivating voice. Deserves greater recognition.
    author: Robert (Wales)

    Once you have bought the CD and listened to Pat singing you will realise that the rest of the accolades featured on this review page are not unfounded. Excellent stuff!!

  • Sophisticatlly refined with corybantic rhythms that leave the listener delighted
    author: George

    Pat is a true musical genius. The songs on the album seem to provide a great perspective for anybody traveling through life. Each song has superior melodic tomes and Pat’s voice compliments the rhythm. They sound just as good live. I have been to many live shows and continue to go because the music is original and true. The band is very cordial to fans and they are a pleasure to watch. The music is sophistically refined with corybantic rhythms that leave the listener delighted. I would recommend this album to all age groups.

  • I love this CD
    author: Lori

    I bought this CD for the only song I knew by PMB "your so beautiful"...but I wound up loving several songs on this CD.

  • LOVE IT!!!
    author: Kelly

    Everytime my friends and i went out in Bay Ridge we heard Your so Beautiful loved it. We sang it at the top of our lungs but never found out who it was by until recently. Coming from 20 year olds who like house and hip hop this song is amanzinnngg!

  • AMAZING!!!!! God given talent!!!
    author: Marg Sheehan

    I get the chills when I hear the song "You're so beautiful". Very touching and the song hits home!! You belong on the radio!! Love you guys!!

  • author: Angela

    I heard of Pat McGuire Band when I was living in NYC this summer. I heard the "You're so Beautiful" song every time I went out in BayRidge. Now that I'm not in NYC anymore, I always pop this CD in when I want to escape back there. It will forever remind me of NYC.

  • Doesn't get any better than Pat McGuire!
    author: Chris

    I was introduced to Pat McGuire Band during the film, "Southie" and have been a fan ever since. It is very hard to find in Detroit! I hope the CD comes back into stock quickly, as I'd love to have a few to give as gifts for the upcoming holidays.

  • Amazing!
    author: Maureen

    Heard the song You’re so Beautiful about 3 years ago at a bar in Long Beach, LI, loved it but never heard it again. Was at a bar in Manhattan a few weeks ago, heard the song, ran to the juke box and wrote down the artiest name. Searched high and low for the CD and could not find it. A friend of mind found it, bought it from CD Baby and I can’t stop playing it. The album is incredible and I just love it! Hope to see him around town soon.

  • Each song is like a flashback to the old days of frineds drinks and laughs. Che
    author: Paddy divas of the 90's

    started seeing Spear mor at Paddy riley's in 1994 and have been a fan since. Been away from NYC the past 7-8 years and every time I play the CD remends me of the best of old times at Paddy's and Rocky's!!!! Pat Thanks for the memories I hope you give us plenty more. My kids even love "Your so beautiful" original old school version from Paddy-a-go-go. What's up to Pat, Don and the Vin-Man Love you guys. I met my now husband of 6 years at a Spear Mor show. They have brought nothing but happiness! By the way the CD's are the best!

  • Great Album
    author: Kevin Gallagher

    Does anyone have a copy of Paddy-a-go-go's album? I stepped on mine & broke it before burning a copy. Will pay or trade a copy of Speir Mor's cd. Speir Mor is Pat's old band. It's a live cd & includes "Just Begun" and "Going to the Desert". If you have it, please email me at kcgallagher@gmail.com

    author: Cherie

    I fell in love with the CD, Big Brown Sofa, about 3 years ago and could not find it anywhere in Texas. I decided to look around on the internet, and found CD Baby! I got the CD in less than a week and have been able to listen to my favorite Pat McGuire songs, THANKS!

  • Outstanding CD
    author: Jim

    Had never heard of Pat McGuire before but really liked the soundbites from the demo and took a chance on the album.....fantastic CD! Every song on the album is worth the cover price, gotta find some more of his music!

  • very good cd
    author: Mark G

    I bought it because I loved the song your so beautiful but realized there are other good songs on this cd. I'm happy with this purchase.

  • great cd
    author: sweetlady1957

    I bought this CD for one song -- You're So Beautiful. Yet I listen to all the songs -- they are great. The lead singer on You're So Beautiful has a great voice.

  • You're so Beautiful....Unbelievable Song!! Why no radio play??
    author: Ryan Neff

    Why is there no radio play on this song??? Took me about 5 months to find out who sung it after hearing it at some of the top bars around hoboken and nyc!!! I honestly can say that their isn't a single person I know of that's heard You're so beautiful and hasn't been blown away!!!

  • The CD is amazing
    author: Patty

    The music is incredible, its a must have CD

  • You're so Beautiful
    author: Friends of Jimmy Riches

    You're so Beautiful is a great song! I want to thank Jimmy Riches for introducing Bay Ridge to such a wonderful song. I will think of you every time I hear it Jimmy... Rest In Peace.

  • Great CD.
    author: lalynott

    author: Tom Gorey

    Now, I gotta get the rest of the CD's. My only wish... please include the lyrics!!! Absolutely love the music-- NEED the LYRICS!! Thank you very much. T.

  • When will they start getting national recognition?
    author: Allison

    I kept hearing "You're So Beautiful" in bars all around NYC and I finally found a friend who knew who sang the song. I didn't even care about the other songs, I just knew I had to have the album because that one song was so good.Well, it turns out the rest of the album is just as good. This is definitely not one of those times when you buy a CD and the rest of the album doesn't live up to the one popular song. If you like YSB, you'll like this album!

  • Unbelievable CD!
    author: Katy

    I bought this CD after hearing "You're So Beautiful", and now I'm already in love with every song on there. It's fantastic -- can listen to it front to back, over and over, and it only gets better!

  • Wedding song
    author: Christine

    You're so beautiful has such meaningful and moving words, it's now my Wedding song!

  • Excellent
    author: Kerri

    This is my 2nd copy of the CD. My first one was played so often that it started skipping. Thanks for the great music!

  • author: Yelena

    Since I’ve seen their live performance in NY, they have captured my heart. I'm listening to their music several times a day; it’s like an air for me now. CD is very good, touching sincere lyrics and powerful music. Must have one definitely!!!

  • I love it and was so excited to find it on CD Baby! I heard You're So Beautiful on a mix a friend had and had been searching for the CD ever since...so glad to have found it!

  • What did I do before this CD???
    author: Zabumba

    Fantastic from first song to last. I am so glad I had the sense to order two copies, one for the car and one for the house. I play it to death and my kids know all the words now. This is my absolute favorite CD 'Just Because' it is so powerful and romantic and makes me feel warm. Pat McGuire, will you marry me?

  • Finally I have my Pat McGuire CD!!
    author: Raini

    I was turned on to a sample of Big Brown Sofa, particularly, You're So Beautiful, several years ago. Had a helleva time finding it, but recieved it for Christmas this year!! I love it, and can't wait to get Love Songs for Astronauts!!

  • Really good

    The best song on the CD by far is "Just Because". It has so much meaning and could be even a popular wedding song.

  • Simply put, this album is a music lovers DREAM . A COMPLETE WORK OF ART.
    author: joey N.Y.C.

    Big Brown Sofa is an album that does not come along very often. It is a perfect blend of harmonies melodies and hard driving rhythms. Ballads at their velvet best. I just want to say to Pat thank you for sharing all your love through youre music. That truly is BEATIFUL!!!P.S. I am spreading the word.

    You're So Beautiful and the Drift Inn in the Hamptons....Nuff Said. Great CD. It's a Classic must have!! GET IT!! See them at Rock Sulivans. Would love to see a live CD.....

  • powerful, brings a smile to my face and my heart
    author: Allison

    I first heard the song "You're so Beautiful" in 2000 (I think) at a club in the Hamptons- it was in the same club and the same time I met my fiance. I was so moved that I started a quest to find out more about this band. I've waited almost a year for this CD and I'm finally going to get it- I was nervous because I want it to be played at our wedding- it's truly our song. After hearing a few of the other songs, I'm counting down the minutes until the CD arrives!

  • author: Libby

    Pat McGuire is amazing - this guy has talent! If you get a chance to see them live - take advantage - it's an excellent show !! The CD is great - by the way, if you want the extended version of "Your So Beautiful" - it's on Paddy a Go-Go's cd (Pat McGuire used to be a part of them)

  • Amazing
    author: John

    The Song You're so Beautiful has ROCKED my world with my Girlfriend. We fell in love to that song dancing. If things work out the way I hope it will be our wedding song. We have our stero wake us up to that song every morning

  • "Haunted (in a good way!) by You're So Beautiful
    author: Kathryn

    This CD is amazing. I bought it specifically for "You're So Beautiful" after hearing a live version of the song on WFUV's weekly Irish Radio Program. Wish I could get a copy of the extended live version with all the celtic music included. Now I love the entire CD. Hope to see this band live someday soon since they are local. P.S. I bought the CD so I could make a copy of You're So Beautiful for the man who I thought was the love of my life.....I've come to find out that he had another "love of his life" while I thought he was mine. Now some of the other songs on the CD get me through the day.

  • awesome

  • Pat McGuire is the man
    author: Elizabethh

    Aright, all I have to say is that You're So Beautiful is the best song ever. I read another person's rating and they said that this song makes girls melt and its soo truee. I love you Pat, you make my world go round! Keep up the awesomee singing!

  • POPULARITY GROWING! PLEASE MORE CDS!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Andrea Wallace

    Many upstate New Yorkers have known about the Pat McGuire Band for some time now... however, their popularity is growing enormously as it has reached people all over the east coast. My entire college is hooked on this band. Our only hope is that they make more cds!!! The lyris, the vocals, and the instrumental sounds all play a huge part in lifting up the soul. It's a cd that makes the heart fly.

  • author: Sara

  • PMB = a groovy freight train of emotion
    author: Nick H.

    I was introduced to PMB by some of his cousins and bought the album after seeing them live. I have no regrets about buying it at all. Highlights are "It's Falling Apart," "Your'e So Beautiful," and "Looking." PMB needs some commercial air play!

  • A CD that will never leave my stereo.

    Easily, in my opinion one of the greatest CD's in today's music scene. Not a bad song in the bunch. So many diferent moods are shown. A great party cd.

  • Much more than You're So Beautiful!
    author: Laurie Porstner

    What to say about Big Brown Sofa? It's hard to put into words just how amazing this album is. The single, You're So Beautiful is one that has become the band's anthem, but this CD is surely one that stays in the stereo until it ends. From the danceable Eastern Side, to the hauntingly powerful Going to the Desert, Big Brown Sofa is a good sampling of The Pat McGuire Band's talent. It can only be surpassed by actually seeing them perform in person when the energy of the crowd echoes that on stage (or, in the early days, when Pat would stroll around the bar itself with his acoustic guitar, mingling with those who were dancing and cheering.) This CD is a must-have, no question about it.

    When are we going to hear songs from this CD on commercial radio. You can't go into a music pub or restaurant in NY City without hearing one of these songs playing on the juke box. Come on program managers and get with it.

  • My Love Songs
    author: April

    These songs are so moving, so soulful, so near and dear to my heart. I fell in love both to and with this cd. We would listen to the tape together, and as our love grew, the songs made their marks in time. "You're So Beautiful" was the first song he had me listen to, and it's been sort of "our song" ever since. Excellent music. We can't wait to see the whole band! COME to NJ!!

  • Music for the heart and soul
    author: Robin Taubman

    I still can't understand why I don't hear songs from this great CD on commercial radio. I can't find any more copies of the CD. I hope the band will print more CDs. A lot of the high school kids are hooked on the songs from the album.

  • Powerful, inspirational, emotional
    author: Billie Andrews

    The cd is one is my favorite. I can listen to it over and over. Pat voice is so powerful and it is my understandin he writes his own songs. What talent. If you don't have The Big Brown Sofa it will be money well spent. I can't wait for his new album to be released.

  • More than music
    author: Moses O'boyle

    Not only does this CD start my day off with emotion, it keeps me regular if you know what I mean.

  • During my season of discontent you saved my sanity.
    author: Jeanette Cahill

    The resonating cord hits in its falling apart was so healing and heart felt. I knew I wasnt alone. Pat Mc Guire band hits the mark into the human soul so succinctly. This band is full of passion and inspiration you cant help but be moved for the rest of your life. Youre so beautiful! guys!

    author: Jeanette Cahill

    I recommend this CD to anyone that can relate to the human condition of passion, love, living and self discovery. J.C.

    I heard about Pat McGuire when the Gossip show on the E channel did a spot on the band. I got a real kick out of the fact that the late Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio would drop in to hear the band when he was in New York City. Hey, if the Clipper loved McGuire why shouldn't I. I got to hear the band at the Bottom Line in N.Y. and I was hooked. Anything DiMaggio touched always turned to gold. I hope his blessing on the McGuire band will do the same.

    Chicks dig the song "You're So Beautiful" It makes them melt

  • author: Sean O'Connell

    Traveling with a friend, crossing the Lincoln Tunnel to check out a gig in NYC. My friend pops in a CD and says "Dude, you gotta to hear this band." Minutes later and I'm singing along "...can't find no rhyme, can't find no reason, it's falling apaaaaaart..." I was hooked! Two weeks later at Connolly's in NYC, I'm there to check out the real deal. There is true chemistry between Pat McGuire and guitarist Sharkey McEwen, completed with the keyboards and beat of band members Vinnie Di Leo, Don O' Keefe, and Eric Boyd who set the pace of a band that is going to go far. I can't wait for the new album to come out! [This message has been edited by Sean O'Connell (edited July 12, 1999).]

    When will be able to purchase the new album??

  • author: Frank Relis

    This fellow McGuire has a voice that can fill any hall. I caught one of his performances last year at the Elbow Room in New York City. He has an extremely powerful voice one that is at times similar to the late Jim Morrison. McGuire also appeals to both women and men in terms of his music. I bought this CD that evening and it is one of my favorites as well as anyone who I play it for.

  • author: John Meyers

    I was extremely impressed with the production of this CD. Considering that at the present time this band has yet to be sighned by a major label. The photography, layout, music and vocal productions are superb and I hope to hear more positive things about Pat McGuire and his career.
