Patrick Bloom review from The Boudin Barndance

From our pal Dan Ferguson, host of the lovely Boudin Barndance on WRIU in Rhode Island:

Patrick Bloom
Moses
Mud Dauber Records MD0002


Renowned singer/songwriter Greg Brown describes Moses from fellow Iowan Patrick Bloom as “..the music that scarecrows dance to when everyone else is asleep.” How to truly interpret that only Brown knows, but I’ve got to think said scrarecrows are digging this album. A rootsy affair, at its foundation is a collection of alluring melodies saddled with Bloom’s literate, lyrical touch. With the tuneful Moses, the Iowa-by-way-of-Long Island Bloom demonstrates a keen eye for detail and a narrative style that neatly mixes emotion with smarts. (Visit www.patrickbloom.com.)
Thanks Dan!
