Singer-songwriter Joe Patrick’s Midwestern roots shine through in his debut studio solo EP, “Whiskey Drown.” From the honky-tonk bar song “Whiskey Drown” to the Sun Records rockabilly tone of “Memphis Blues” to an urgent powerful ballad “Crying Me to Sleep,” Patrick impressively covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. The music on the EP was boiled down to the simplest terms without a lot of extra or over-production. “I spent the better part of three years traveling to play acoustic shows, but the main point is, this record is electric guitar-driven,” he said. “It’s alternative rock, alternative country, Gram Parsons meets Oasis. I’m a big fan of both."
 
One listen and you’ll quickly find yourself a Joe Patrick fan.
