Pat Travers:
When Pat Travers exploded onto the scene in 1976, people sat up and took notice. This young Canadian played guitar with a passion and an intensity that took everybody by surprise. This, his debut album, is one of the great debut albums of the period. Tracks like 'Makes No Difference' and 'Medley Parts 1 & 2 are classic slices of 70's hard rock. There was, however, much more to Pat Travers than a Marshall stack and a Fender Telecaster screaming for mercy. Pat's roots lay in the blues, and it's that raw earthiness that runs through the music on this CD. As great as this undoubtedly was, though, better was to come...
Makin' Magic:
The second Pat Travers album 'Makin' Magic' is, to many, the best of the man's early albums. It's easy to see why people feel this way. It's a harder rocking release than the debut album - witness the thunderous title track and the classic 'Rock n' Roll Susie'. The album is also memorable for the appearance of one Nicko McBrain on drums alongside long time bassist 'Mars' Cowling. The album's highlight is, though, perhaps Pat's heartfelt message to his own brother 'Stevie'. 'Makin' Magic' is where the Pat Travers story REALLY starts...
Puttin' In Straight:
Pat Travers' second album release in the year 1977 - picks up perfectly from where 'Makin' Magic' left off. Having found the hard rockin' formula that worked, Pat continued to gig hard with his trusty three piece, 'Mars' Cowling and Nicko Mcbrain making up the numbers admirably. Guests on the album include Thin Lizzy's Scott Gorham on 'Speakeasy' and Rainbow's Tony Carey on the instrumental 'Off Beat Ride'. 'Speakeasy' and 'Life In London' , affectionate odes to his new home, show an international side to Pat Travers and his work. Next came America...
Heat On The Street:
The fourth Pat Travers album in two years saw the transition from club act to US stadium rockers complete. Gone was Nicko McBrain - to French rockers Trust and then on to Iron Maiden. In his place was the magnificent Tommy Aldridge and, also added to the line up, guitarist par excellence Pat Thrall. This was a killer band - and 'Heat In The Street' was a killer album! Check out 'Killer's Instinct' and 'Hammerhead' for grade A hard rock!
