notes
Pat Webb has lived in the Land of the Homeless Black Dog. He's played in many of the roughest honkytonks and bust-out joints in America and some of the best concert halls. He's busked on street corners, done a lot of live radio and recording, written award-winning film music, and narrated other people's prose and his own.
Though he's played many different kinds of music, he favors most his effects-laden, high energy, experimental acoustic guitar solos. Recorded in 1998, while Pat was producing legendary blues mandolinist James “Yank” Rachell's final album, Land of the Homeless Black Dog reveals the soul of a man who, over the past 50+ years, has influenced some of the world's most important and well-known musicians, as well as hundreds of “lesser-known” ones. Though in his seventh decade now, Pat still gets it done on his 1940 Martin 000-28.
His amazing guitar skills, honed in juke joints of Chicago, New York, and St. Louis, provide a primer of what an artist can do without electronic effects â one man, one guitar, one amazing legacy! In this collection, Pat adds the artistry of several close friends, among them, Allen Stratyner, harmonica, who also joined Pat on the final Yank Rachell album, and his son, Christopher, on guitar. Whether recording with John Sebastian (see Pat Webb's Kickapoo Long Grass) or just jammin' with his buddies, Pat Webb brings these songs, this story, directly from his own experience with the source â he has lived America â its work, its wars, its roadsides, coffee houses, and concert halls. He has walked the Land of the Homeless Black Dog.
