Pat’s pad, which he affectionately
calls "Coop De Villa", is located in Sweet Home, Alabama
(yes, there really is such a place). Sweet Home is about
90 miles upstream from Muscle Shoals, Alabama - the
legendary "Hit Recording Capital of the World". When
Pat’s not busy flying Boeing 747 freighters all over the
world he can usually be found hanging out in Muscle
Shoals, Gothenburg Sweden, or at his studio on the
grounds of "Coop De Villa".
Pat lived and worked in the Shoals area from 1985 to 1991 and
has recorded there many times since then. But in regards to
Gothenburg he had this to say: "I felt a little like Jed
Clampett when I first discovered the rich pool of musical
talent residing in that city. I grew up in close proximity to
Muscle Shoals, so I knew all about their musical legacy.
Gothenburg however was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
So I feel doubly lucky to have had an opportunity to make
music with so many gifted musicians and singers from both
sides of the Atlantic."
Regardless of who or where it comes from, in the end, it's
always about the music. And the bottom line is this: Pat and
his musical partners in rhyme are makin’ blues and country, a
little bit of soul, southern gospel, and rock and roll. And
this is the real deal y’all.
Drop by anytime. The lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
