The year is 2004. Patrick finished playing for Ric Boals and The Soals (1997-2000) and returned to Columbus, he was playing 6 nights a week in no time, by joining Kathy Wolfe and Wolfhound and then starting the first incarnation of the celebrated Patrick McLaughlin Band (a.k.a. The PMB). With the husky, wailing vocals of Deb Landolt, Keith Blair on keyboards, Leon Robinson on drums and the late Jeffrey Cooper on bass, the PMB was truly a blues force to be reckoned with. During their run (from 2001 to 2006), they represented Ohio twice at the International Blues Challenge and a finalist in 2004. All the while, Patrick was keeping in touch with his professional roots, hosting numerous weekly blues jams around Columbus including the Dolphin Lounge and The Blues Station.

The 2004 album was crafted during this time, it was not released. Bass player Jeffrey Cooper was diagnosed with cancer and passed on at 24 years old. The blow to Patrick and everyone in the band was devastating. The album sat in the vault, and each band member went their separate ways. Patrick did not play or have a band for several years, 2009 began the next group and subsequent album.

Jeffrey's music should out there be for everyone to hear. With all the unlicensed versions out there, this is the way the music was written and intended for people to enjoy. The original music has been continuously played on local station 90.5 WCBE, and has been the only place it is heard.

Enjoy the travel back in time, and keep Jeffrey and his talent in your memory. ---cdbaby.com

The Blues is getting up there in age. No longer is there a mystique about this “devil’s music’ that accompanied it in the past. Players such as Robert Johnson used to be followed by controversy for their lyrics, playing and supposed packs with the devil. But, generations of Bluesmen have followed in Johnson’s footsteps, bringing the genre into the mainstream and carving out niches and subgenre’s of Blues along the way. After players such as B.B. King, Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughan left their unique mark on the modern Blues guitar genre, newcomers to the idiom are left with two options to solidify their careers, come up with a totally new take on the Blues, or dig deep into the traditional and play the existing style with as much bravado, dedication, heart and soul as they can.

Columbus, Ohio guitarist Patrick McLaughlin is a player and songwriter who falls directly into this latter category. He isn’t out to reinvent the wheel, but as one can hear on his self-titled album, he is a dedicated Bluesman who knows how to write and play in the traditional Blues genre with the best of them. These eleven tracks are not going to shock traditional Blues fans, or take the genre in a new groundbreaking direction, but they are going to satisfy the appetites of even the most dedicated fan of the genre.

Songs such as “I’ve Got You,” are a prime example of McLaughlin’s deep understanding of the Blues and how to use the emotional content of his lyrics and guitar work to engage his audience in a very deep way. Keeping things simple lyric-wise, McLaughlin lets his guitar take control between vocal phrases. He then lets loose on a classic, distorted guitar solo that brings to mind many of the giants of the genre. There is nothing fancy or controversial about what McLaughlin does on this track. But, what he does do is lay down a fat groove, tasty guitar licks and simple yet effective vocal lines, everything a Blues track needs to be successful.

McLaughlin moves over the minor, darker side of the blues on his killer track “There’s More to Life Than This.” The track features some of the album’s best guitar work, including interesting palm-muted riffs that intertwine with the melody, adding an extra layer of interest to both the guitar soloing and the song as a whole. The solo on this track itself also stands out as one of the album’s biggest highlights. McLaughlin uses space, emotional clarity and some nifty right-hand raking techniques to draw the listener in, keeping them glued to his guitar until the last note fades out of the speaker into the night.

The ballad “Ready, Set, Leave” is another example of McLaughlin’s deep understanding of the Blues tradition. His vocal melody, phrasing and guitar work are reminiscent of some of the best of the slow blues tracks of years gone by. The 12/8 shuffle that’s slowly moving under the harmony and melody help keep a steady pulse as the guitar and vocals dig deep into the listener’s emotions, grabbing their attention and allowing them to get full glimpse of McLaughlin’s artistic soul.

Overall, Patrick McLaughlin is a solid release by the talented guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. This record is not going to turn the Blues world on its head, but it will deliver an entertaining hour of music that any fan of the traditional Blues genre can enjoy. Tired of listening to the same albums time and again when a Blues craving hits? Check out McLaughlin’s new album, it won’t disappoint. --- Matthew Warnock, powerpresskits.com
