About

<i>Wave On Wave</i> marks Pat Green’s initial attempt to square the ornery independence of Texas-style country with the commercial demands of Nashville. In the process, he ends up with something reminiscent of ‘80s-era John Mellencamp – not surprising, considering that John’s old studio partner Don Gehman produced this album. Tracks like “California,” “Guy Like Me” and “All the Good Things Fade Away” move with an All-American sort of swagger while Green plays the down-home philosopher in the expansive “Poetry” and gets a tad weird in the rambling “If I Was the Devil.” He enlists Willie Nelson for vocal support on “Elvis,” a playful slice of small-town observation. The title track is the sort of joyful heartland anthem that sounds great blasting from a car stereo. Green’s yelping growl of a voice is his greatest asset, lending even an unremarkable lyric an extra dash of urgency. <i>Wave On Wave</i> may not have the maverick flair of Pat’s earlier albums, but it earns points for its mix of Nashville craft and Lone Star grit.
