I'm falling in love with Google translator. Here's a review in German at Cool Tourist giving my latest album, Down In The Wash, high praise. They recommend Mojave Moonlight or Low Wind Howling as a place to start. I've posted the translation below.
"What would have happened if the Angie-Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Canned Heat made an appointment in 1969 for an unplugged session at Woodstock's Bearsville Studios? Maybe a little bit the sound picture that fifty years later presents Pat Kearns from California. The CD "Down In The Wash" is not only an acoustic retro experience but also the product of a big change. In 2016, Pat and his wife Susan "So Long City" (as well as the title of his first solo album), left the orderly life as a music producer and hair studio owner in Portland, Oregon, settling in a small cabin the Californian Mojave Desert. There life in the middle of nature is characterized by solar power and little water, from the reflection on the essentials. But with selected equipment and a few friends off-celeb can also make (and record) relaxed music that soaks up the landscape ambience. Kearns has selected ten of his own compositions and a Stones classic ("No Expectations") and thus conjured unmistakably the burrito spirit of Gram Parsons. Wife Susan plays the double bass (and has the cover drawn!), Tim Chinnock plays relaxed drums, Joe Garcia and Luke Dawson create with guitars and pedal steel the spacey country-rock sound of the 70s, which helped the Byrds at the time of his breakthrough. If you do not have the opportunity to travel to the US west coast in the near future to test the atmosphere on-site, you should start your journey with the introductory tips "Low Wind Howling" or "Mojave Moonlight"."
