Powerful bluesy hard rock debut album by Londoners group Patto. "Patto" is a rock album, in some case very tight and massive, but with openings towards jazz, highlighted by the sandpaper throat of front man Mike Patto, the full tempo changes of Halsey's drumming, and Halsall's angular and out phrasing guitar (he also plays piano and vibraphone). Very personal sound, an explosive mix of blues, jazz and hard rock.
Mike Patto - vocals. Peter "Ollie" Halsall - lead guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, vibes. Clive Griffiths - bass. John Halsey - drums.
The man. Hold me back. Time to die. Red glow. San Antone. Government man. Money bag. Sittin' back easy.
